Dau Tinola restaurant has been a regular stop for me on every visit to Corniglia for many years.
I recommend the Lemon Anchovies, Seafood Spaghettini, Mixed Fried Fish, House Tiramisu, and Lemon Sorbet.
What all their dishes have in common is delicacy combined with flavor: you won't leave feeling heavy, but rather satisfied.
I always tell the manager that the sophistication of their Seafood Pasta is enhanced by their choice of Spaghettino rather than Spaghetti.
There's a wide selection of good wines, but the house still white is also very good.
It's located in the arrival square of the bus to the station, and has seating both inside and on the spacious outdoor terrace: highly recommended.

I really don't understand the bad reviews. The prices are very reasonable. The service was 5 stars, I'd give it more if I could. The food was delicious. If we ever return to Corniglia, we will definitely eat here.

Located right at the bus stop, Dau Tinola is a restaurant I return to every time I visit the Cinque Terre. My wife and I come here especially for the anchovy appetizer (marinated, fried, stuffed, salted, etc.) and the pasta with clams and bottarga...truly poetic! It's a simple place but definitely authentic and genuine, as is the owner Fabio, who was incredibly kind to us and sweet to our little girl. We can't wait to return, and I assure you, if you like anchovies and pasta with clams, it's worth the trip! Highly recommended ❤️

Food was excellent! We sat outside under shade after the hike up from the railroad station, and had the gnocchi w/bolognes and spaghetti with parmesan/garlic. Waiter was a little indifferent but all else was 5 star

Unfairly low score - completely delicious food, interesting interior deco and the owner is actually quite nice ! We were there on 16th of May this year 😊🌸

We had lunch at this restaurant in the middle of our trip to visit the Cinque Terre and received a warm welcome.
I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews.
The service was friendly, the food was good, and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his pasta with anchovies.
While the prices may seem a bit high, it's important to remember that this is a tourist area.

So fresh and yummy seafood! We got octopus salad and seafood pasta! It was delicious 😋 Home white wine is excellent. The deserts of lemon cake and tiramisu are super good too!
