Gorgeous view from above looking down to the village below, the view and the setting will surely put you in a "la dolce vida" mood. The food is amazing w great staffs!

What a fantastic place to have dinner. A very friendly staff and the food was superb. The tiramisu was fantastic. The view is amazing.

Warm and cozy indoor environment with inviting patio overlooking the ocean. Would revisit again

We visited Ristorante Il Ciliegio in May during our trip to Cinque Terre and had such a fantastic experience. My wife and I took part in the cooking class which was great fun from start to finish. The food we made was absolutely delicious, the wine was excellent, and the views were simply stunning. What really made the experience stand out was the hospitality — they even arranged a shuttle to collect and drop us off, which made the whole evening completely stress free. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area and looking for an authentic, memorable experience.

Beautiful place, the anchovies were delicious, we then had the grilled seafood and the spaghetti with prawn tartare – delighted! Just a little pricey.

Gorgeous place, service a bit pushy but with a desire to please the customer as best as possible. Excellent food but small portions. The view makes up for it all.

A terrace with a magnificent view of Monterosso Al Mare, a very beautiful dining room and a meal of great finesse from beginning to end...

Not just a simple dinner, but a culinary experience, thanks also to the attentive service of all the staff, who convey their passion for their work.

With my family and a couple of friends we had lunch in this wonderful rustic restaurant located on the heights of Monterosso and immersed in the Mediterranean scrub with a splendid panoramic view of the sea and Punta Mesco. Offers typical Ligurian cuisine, specialties of fresh fish, carne braceria (including tomahawk) and dolci fatti casa, with vegetarian options. There are many open-air tables on the outdoor terrace under umbrellas with a view of the sea and the mountains and Monterosso and also inside. We ordered: 1 antipasto acciughe della tradizione as a starter, 1 agnolotti verdi genovese with burro and parmigiano, and as a second, 1 frittura mista di mare, 1 branzino ligure al salt with al forno potatoes and 1 pork ribs glazed with honey and soy sauce. Tutto buono squisito abbondante delizioso. The personel gentilissimo welcoming smiley competent cordiale ma il servizio è risultato troppo lento anche de attento e prezzi cari.
