Fuori Rotta In Riomaggiore

Fuori Rotta ended up being one of our favorite meals in Cinque Terre. The food is thoughtful, refined, and clearly made for diners who appreciate real craft—not just tourists passing through. The onion appetizer was the standout dish of the night: surprising, complex, and incredibly well executed. The venison ravioli was rich and beautifully balanced, and both mains—the fish and the chicken—were cooked perfectly with clean, focused flavors. Service was warm, the setting relaxed but elevated, and the whole experience felt genuinely memorable. Highly recommend.

A wonderful discovery in this lovely village. Thank you to the chef for this culinary journey.

Very good culinary discovery in RIOMAGGIORE

Very good restaurant for those looking for refined cuisine, prices a little high but proportional to the quality! I recommend it!

We enjoyed this restaurant very much, the food was prepared and presented with great care, and was very tasty, this is definitely one of the top restaurants in Riomaggiore!

The food was great, but the overall experience slightly underwhelming. One of the staff members eating and stuffing his mouth behind the main counter and then my pet hate - being served a few slices of bread and some olive oil being described as a local delicacy and then charged 6 Euro for it! Honestly! Charge for it upfront or increase the fees of your menu items - this truly leaves a bad taste in the mouth!

This is hands down the best restaurant in Riomaggiore. It’s absolutely baffling to see a 4.2 star overall review. This is the only fine dining experience you’ll get in town and it is fantastic. Amazing gluten free options.

Three serving staff: 2 were lovely, unfortunately the guy who greeted then looked after us clearly didn't want to be there and was as miserable as sin. This paired with the god awful elevator music they were playing made for a dead atmosphere. Now I know you're not supposed to expect a massive slap up meal at a place like this, but the food portions were TINY. My secondi plate was a fish-finger sized filet of croker and some carrot puree. The veggie options was a small potato rosti and a few spinach leaves. We actually went and grabbed a plate of pasta from a place up the road afterwards as we left feeling like we actually hadn't had a meal. It all tasted lovely and was well cooked, but the food was nowhere near good enough to justify all of the above. The wine list, on the other hand, was extensive and very well thought out. Wouldn't go back.

Finally a good place in cinque terre that knows how to cook fish properly in cinque terre. The chef definately spent a good amount of time trying different combination of the ingredients, the meal was very balanced. Fresh and high quality olive oil makes such a great difference with good bread. I had the Cipolla in 4 cotture, spuma di patate, aglio nero e liquirzia. Onion was cooked to fine caramelization, earthy flavor and very mild spices to compliment the onion sweetness, and on top of that is the potato foam that mixes everything together. Very hearty. Plate was cleaned up with bread. I enjoyed my dinner, but if I go again and have more time I would try the chef's menu.

Die Ligurische Küche überrascht auf Haubenniveau, jedoch die Preise sind absolut akzeptabel. Man sitzt auf der Terrasse mit atemberaubenden Blick aufs Meer hoch oben in Riomaggiore und fühlt sich geschmacklich im Paradies. Das überraschende Degustationsmenü ist eine Bereicherung, auch für das Auge und die Seele. Ein unbedingtes „Must have“. Unbedingt einen Tisch reservieren und mit viel Freude ein wunderbares Essen und Abend genießen. Grazie mille !!!
