Trattoria Da Oscar In Monterosso al mare

Upon arrival, we asked if we could choose a spot on the outdoor terrace. We were told that we could sit wherever we wanted. Afterwards, when paying the bill, it turned out that an extra €3 per person was charged for where we sat. This is not something that was told to us beforehand.

Food was fantastic.The two Waitresses were rude which made the whole experience dreadful. We were asked what did we want olive oil for! Plate taken away before we finished. Very surprised by rudeness and abruptness. We are here for the past 4 days and everyone is very friendly. Not the customary Italian welcome we are used of. Restaurant came recommended by local businessman

Very good food, prices and cover charge a bit excessive

A small but truly special place. Its intimate, refined atmosphere is evident, where attention to detail is evident. The anchovies were a real surprise: incredibly fresh and prepared with great respect for the ingredients. The spaghetti with clams was also excellent, balanced, flavorful, and perfectly executed. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always available, without ever being intrusive. One choice I particularly appreciated was not serving coffee: it may seem unusual, but it actually speaks volumes about the place's philosophy. It's better to forgo something than to offer a product that doesn't live up to the quality of the cuisine. Furthermore, for such a small space, it's clear that every choice is made to showcase what really matters. An authentic place, where you go to eat well and feel at ease. Highly recommended. P.S. Instead of limoncello, the arancino is the best.
