17/10/2025: Ok people. I’m pretty sure this is my first ever Google review. My family and I were only staying in Cinque Terre for two days, and trust me we had a lot of restaurants to choose from. We chose this restaurant because of the atmosphere, proximity to the water, and their expansive menu that included some non fish options for the weirdos in my family who won’t eat fish even though we are in a coastal town. The service was beyond amazing. I was able to try to practice my Italian with the waiter being very patient, accommodating, and helpful. We ordered wine once and our glasses were never empty. He could tell I wasn’t the happiest with my soup (I could have sworn I ordered clam soup and not vegetable soup, vongole vs verdura so decently similar) so he took it even though I said not to worry about it, told me to wait a minute, and brought me out a full plate of spaghetti with clams. It was amazing and he showed me the best way to eat it (no cheese, with a spoon to spin the spaghetti). He continued joking with us and taking care of us the rest of the night. We were also surprised by the bill being as low of a price as it was - the soup was not on the bill. The most magical part though, I asked if they were selling the sweatshirts the staff was all wearing because I loved the logo, and while they weren’t, this man gave me the sweatshirt OFF OF HIS BACK to have. We tried to pay for it, insisted he keep it, and he refused. This was the best Italian hospitality I ever experienced. It felt like home, very familiar to me because of how was raised in an Italian American family, and I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone who visits.
