During our visit to Cinque Terre, when we arrived in Monterosso al Mare, we were looking for a place where we could eat well, try some local specialties, and, above all, avoid some of the more touristy restaurants where you often end up paying significantly more just to sit on a terrace.
After reading the Google reviews, we decided on Il Frantoio, and it was a great choice.
The focaccia is incredible, freshly made, flavorful, and with a wide variety to choose from. The portions are generous, and we found the prices very reasonable considering it's in one of the most touristy spots in Cinque Terre.
One of the things that impressed us most was the constant flow of people: while we were there, people were constantly coming in, which is a sure sign that you've found the right place.
It's a perfect option if you want to stop for a typical Ligurian meal quickly, informally, and affordably, without having to resort to a touristy terrace and pay much higher prices.
Besides focaccia, they have different varieties and options to choose from, so it's easy to find something you'll love after a morning exploring the Cinque Terre villages.
In our case, the positive reviews we'd read were what convinced us to go, and now we completely understand why it has such great ratings.
📍 If you visit Monterosso al Mare, make a note of Il Frantoio. Excellent focaccia, generous portions, reasonable prices, and a great option for eating well without spending too much.
Without a doubt, it's one of those places we'd recommend to anyone planning their Cinque Terre itinerary.

Hands down, the best focaccia in Monterosso al Mare! 🤌🏼
The prices are really good because they charge by the kilo, rather than by the piece like many other places.
My personal favorites:
🥖 Classic focaccia with some extra pesto — you can ask them to add it!
🍅 Tomato & pesto
🐟 Anchovies & tomato
🧀 Gorgonzola — also surprisingly good!
One thing to keep in mind: there’s no air conditioning inside, and it can get extremely crowded. During the hotter hours, the queue can be a bit difficult, especially if you’re not a fan of waiting in the heat.
But honestly, the focaccia is 100% worth it! 😍

Always a sure thing, great variety, super fair prices! DON'T MISS THE FRIED BREAD WITH CHEESE (only after 4:00 PM)! Always top notch!

The best focaccia we had in the Cinque Terre! Incredible texture and great flavors, without too many toppings (so the bread stays light). Other places didn't cook it right or put on way too many toppings for traditional focaccia.
