I migliori ristorantinella città Monterosso al mare della La spezia

09/11/2025: Very friendly and the owner speaks French. There are small outdoor seating areas which is great, the cocktails are very good, and the small bruschetta are perfectly made. The shop selling local products is fantastic.

24/10/2025: Focaccia and Bruscetta to die for! I recommend them with my eyes closed.

14/10/2025: Hello, Two seafood dishes, grilled vegetables, fries, bread, wine, sparkling water...€85. Very good, Nice setting, Five stars for the atmosphere...we were alone 😉

24/09/2025: Pleasant in the evening despite the lack of view due to the fact that it was dark, the dishes are good. However, there was a long wait between courses, we left before dessert because of the wait in the cold even though we were the last table. The knives were not suitable for shellfish, you had to attack with your fingers but there were no finger bowls.

05/12/2025: Focacceria Il Frantoio is kind of hiding: tucked in a narrow alley off the main drag, but you’ll smell that fresh-baked focaccia the moment you walk nearby. Even if you don’t see the sign, follow your nose. Inside the little place, there are only a handful of tables, so most people grab a slice and go. They do those classic Ligurian-style focacce: some round like pizzas (but no sauce) and some square or rectangular slabs. The difference is more than shape, focaccia isn’t pizza. It uses dough with more leavening, so it stays thicker, softer, and airier than typical pizza crust, and it gets dimpled and drenched in olive oil before baking. Because of that, the focaccia from Il Frantoio feels pillowy inside but still crispy at the edges — perfect base for whatever topping they throw on. Go for a classic plain‑olive-oil slice if you want something simple and salty. Or, if you’re up for a punchier flavor, try their anchovy version: salty, briny, and made for a beach‑town afternoon. Honestly, it’s the perfect snack to grab before hiking to Vernazza — light, filling, and full of energy for the climb. Bottom line: Focacceria Il Frantoio isn’t fancy. It’s small, kind of hidden, and not Instagram-flashy. But if you want a genuinely good bite of Ligurian comfort food, warm focaccia, salty anchovies or olive-oil-rich crust, handheld and cheap, this spot hits exactly right.

28/10/2025: The best focaccia in the Cinque Terre, unbeatable value for money... incredible Italian dough and flavour.

29/10/2025: We stumbled upon this restaurant while strolling around Monterosso in Cinque Terre, and it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. I think it was one of the best pasta I had in my two weeks in Italy. The homemade tagliolini with cream and smoked salmon was absolutely delicious. The salmon was perfectly cooked, and I devoured the whole plate in no time! The people at the restaurant were also incredibly friendly, which made the experience even better.

18/10/2025: The best restaurant in Cinque Terre. Doesn't have the sea view, but wins at everything else: the food, the hospitality, the cost. This place should have a Michelin Star. Chef/owner is so friendly, engaging, and accommodating. We've gone to numerous other places and they all fall short. As such, we've been back multiple times, and we're only sad we can't eat here even more. Can't speak highly enough of our experiences here; this place should have a 5.0 star rating. P.S. the steamed mussels and tiramisu are out of this world.

12/03/2026: Great atmosphere, great service, very understanding!

12/03/2026: The sea food is amazing. And the costumure service was amazing!

01/01/2026: I spent New Year's Eve here, and it was a lovely surprise. Friendly staff, excellent and plentiful food. Thank you for a pleasant evening.

01/01/2026: In my experience I had a great time, I spent a New Year's Eve dinner organized by the staff and I tasted their products with a mix of the Cinque Terre and not only, everything was delicious 🤩

14/11/2025: The "Il Casello" restaurant is an excellent choice for those who want to dine well in a refined and welcoming environment. The dishes are prepared with quality ingredients, and the attention to detail in their presentation is evident. The portions are just right, and each course has an authentic flavor that demonstrates the care and attention to detail in the kitchen. The staff is extremely polite, kind, and professional. From the moment you arrive, you feel welcomed and cared for with discretion and courtesy. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing, ideal for both family lunches and dinners and an evening with friends. A restaurant that stands out for its quality, service, and friendliness. Highly recommended for those seeking a wonderful dining experience.

10/11/2025: Service, location and food Genisle

14/03/2026: Amazing flavor in the pizzas. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in Monterosso.

10/03/2026: We lived in Monterosso and traveled all Chonkwe Terra looking for calzone. And when we failed we came to the Smorfia. That two calzones were best pizzas in the world! Yes, people is passing by. But we forgot of that after glass of wine.

04/12/2025: A little hidden gem in Monterosso al Mare. Excellent food, delicious wines, and fantastic desserts. Thank you so much for a short break with you.

24/11/2025: A lot of restaurants in Monterosso were closed when we went and this is one of the only ones that’s open that’s at least 4/5 so we gave it a shot. Staff were super friendly and kind. Food was good but the seafood spaghetti was on the salty side. The fried mixed seafood was on point though! Not salty at all, crispy, well cooked inside! The two dishes balanced each other out. Their tiramisu was to die for!!! Would go back there just for that. They were pet friendly and kid friendly too. They had a baby chair for our daughter.

27/10/2025: Ely has been our "pizza night" place for years and we really enjoy it. Occasionally we have other things and this year we had one of their pasta daily specials, a ravioli perhaps with truffle and burrata (sorry it was 1 1/2 months ago)……omg, it was so amazing. Though it is no longer on the menu, we also appreciated them making the mussels in white wine and lemon.
