Osteria a Cantina de Mananan In Vernazza

Simple menu, yet so much satisfying! We chose this restaurant based on very good reviews. Already half an hour before opening time there was a line of people waiting for their table. The place is very cosy, just a few tables (waiting in the line makes sense I guess), decorated by owner’s valuables including family pictures. I loved the atmosphere. As appetiser we ordered acciughe (anchovy) platter. Man, that was a lot of acciughe! But all were very nice, prepared in different flavours and techniques and with a bowl of mussels. For mains we chose 2 types of pasta - ravioli and testaroli. Testaroli come from ancient times and look like sponge squares, which is not a very appetising appearance. It tastes better than it looks - happy I have tried it, but nothing I would be craving for in the future. Our secondo piatto was the octopus - very tender and just delicious! We skipped the dessert and had a coffee with digestivo - homemade herbal liquor. Would come back any time!

Must to try while visiting Cinque Terre. Delicious food, amazing service, and the spot on ambience. Best pesto I've ever tried. Testeroli pasta was delicious with pesto 😋

It was a small restaurant where you need to share table with other people since there are no space. Luckily we waited at 9pm but still there’s still alot of people at that time. We ordered seafood and lamb. It was pricey for the seafood which is only small pieces. But the lamb was good.

Superb food, super nice and friendly staff, great prices and a very friendly small environment

Very good restaurant, the staff is friendly, the food very good. Big favorite for the black and white photos in the upper part of the room 😉

abbiamo cenato qui su consiglio dell’host del beb siamo rimasti soddisfatti: sia del cibo sia della location molto suggestiva e particolare. Menzione d’onore per i dolci davvero deliziosi. (peccato per il caffè ed anche per la mancanza del latte)

Magnificent little restaurant, excellent staff, the quality of the dishes offered, worth discovering if you pass by!!! (Remember to book, it is recommended)

This restaurant shows a lot of promise with its high-quality dishes! We tried both the poached and grilled sea bream, and they were absolutely delicious—especially when paired with the excellent local white wine. However, the overall portion size was a bit too small, leaving us still hungry. We added dessert to treat ourselves, which was really tasty but also a bit modest in size. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere pleasant, but make sure to order extra if you have a bigger appetite!

Very tasty! Super atmospheric place

Siamo stati in questo ristorante spinti dalle recensioni. il locale è piccolo e i tavoli sono molto vicini tra loro. personale molto gentile. Il cibo è buono e preparato principalmente con prodotti locali peccato che il menu non abbia una grande scelta di piatti soprattutto pesce
