05/08/2025: One of the best culinary experiences I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
Excellent food, excellent service. The products are high-quality and the quantity generous. I highly recommend it.
05/08/2025: A top-notch restaurant. The location is perhaps its weakest point, despite being excellent. The location is spot on, in the center of Monterosso, but it's a shame that without knowing it, it's difficult to identify given the small portico. Perhaps a sign or some other object could be used to better identify the restaurant.
The service is impeccable. Although there seems to be only one waiter, even with a considerable number of guests, he manages to manage everyone admirably. You're greeted with a bowl of delicious bread that makes you want to mop up your plate even if it's empty. If you run out, they're ready to bring a second. The cutlery is changed with each course, and without having to ask, they even brought us small plates to share (since we'd ordered a main course for two and a dessert for two).
Always smiling and friendly, they seem happy for every customer who arrives and treat you like a king!
As for the food, I think it's unbeatable. We tried three first courses (two were of the day and one was from the menu): "Cuttlefish ink pasta with swordfish, pine nuts, capers, and tomatoes," "Egg pasta with shrimp and pesto," and "Shrimp and burrata pasta."
Every ingredient seemed to be spot on and paired well with the others. Flavorful dishes and fresh fish, not the kind you find in a supermarket.
For our second course, we treated ourselves to a "swordfish fillet with citrus fruits," which truly tasted of citrus. I was amazed by this; it had an ultra-delicate and refined flavor. The fillet was tender and generous. The "tuna steak on a bed of pistachios" was equally delicious.
The desserts were a touch of class. We had a pistachio cream with berries, which delighted my palate. As a pistachio lover, I have to say it was very good.
A wonderful experience! We were happy to have discovered this gem in the heart of Monterosso on the last day of our vacation and to have been able to end it on a high note.
