Enoteca Internazionale — Local services in Monterosso al Mare

Disappointed. The woman that started us off was wonderful. We asked for 2 of the wine tastings. She came back with everything and explained what we were drinking and from where. Very knowledgeable. Then. She disappeared. Completely. Like nobody else took her tables, checked in, asked if we needed anything so we had 2 of the wines picked out to purchase.
