Il Buongustaio Cucina Casalinga In Vernazza

We've had two dinners out of two at this restaurant in the heart of Corniglia. The staff were very friendly, and the food lived up to expectations! The grilled sea bream was delicious, and the testaroli with pesto were excellent!

A wonderful place to recharge and relax! Our whole family had just been caught in the rain and was looking for a cozy place to recover and regain some energy. This restaurant turned out to be exactly what we needed. The air conditioning was a welcome relief, and the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. At first, we ordered just a few dishes, thinking we would keep it simple. But everything was so delicious that we kept ordering more as the meal went on! Every dish was enjoyable, and we ended up staying much longer than we had planned. We finished our meal with a delicious dessert and a great cup of coffee – the perfect ending to a wonderful dining experience. Thank you for the excellent food and hospitality! We highly recommend this restaurant and would gladly visit again.

amazing vongole pasta and fresh and crispy calamari, best food we’ve had in italy so far. kind and amazing staff, ordered 2 pastas and 1 side dish for 67 euros. aircon seating available as well

Lovely food and staff! The food was very good! The fish was made with love and care. The sauce was amazing and also the spaghetti vongole was so good! I couldn’t stop cleaning my plate. I really loved it and I can only recommend this place. Also great dessert. All homemade and done with love! Definitely worth it!

Good restaurant, better starters than first courses

Exceptional staff. Very good food. Very pleasant location. Highly recommended. We had trouble getting to the restaurant (due to a misunderstanding with the bus service from the station to the village), but the staff was welcoming, reassuring, and helped us resolve the issue. Manuel, in particular, was fantastic. We had special food requests (due to the children), and he accommodated us with kindness and extreme availability. What more can I say? If you're passing through Corniglia, definitely come and eat here (and check carefully for bus connections 😄)

Quite disappointed… The service was very good, with a waiter who did his job very well… even friendly. But the food… really not good… Starter: Bruschetta: very mediocre bread (with tomatoes and two anchovies), pesto… I'm no connoisseur, but given the rest of the dishes… probably not top-notch. Mixed salad: a rather ordinary salad, in short, not recommended, with three tomatoes and two pieces of carrot (nothing like a mixed salad). Main course: Fish – yes, it was well-cooked and tasty, but served with cooked potatoes… with a strange taste (as if they weren't fresh). Wine: very good… Seated at the end of the corridor, leaning to one side, hahaha… The excuse given was that some Italians would be eating next door! Well… not a bad excuse… Price: about the same as in the area… nothing to complain about… But quite expensive for what we ate! I'm sorry, but for our last meal in Cinque Terre... what a shame!

Wonderful place. Fully recommended. Excellent place. Definitely a place that I will come again.

Delicious food with all the flavors of the Cinque Terre, excellent service, and a beautiful view. Come to Corniglia, it's wonderful and authentic.

The food here is absolutely delicious. We ordered a whole pan-fried fish, which was incredible. The service was also great, and the people were friendly. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.
