I never post comments , but honestly this time I was compelled to do so…

During our visit to Manarola, we discovered a true gem: Alberto’s grocery store. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with rare kindness and warmth. Alberto is an exceptional host whose genuine care lights up this already charming place. He treated us to a selection of absolutely fantastic cold cuts and cheeses, showcasing products of impeccable quality.

Every bite was a journey through the authentic flavors of the region, all at an unbeatable value for money. This is more than just a simple grocery store—it’s an experience, an absolute must-visit for anyone exploring Manarola and the Cinque Terre. Thank you, Alberto, for this unforgettable moment. We will definitely be back next time!

Alberto est un hôte exceptionnel, dont la bienveillance illumine cet endroit déjà plein de charme. Il nous a fait déguster une sélection de charcuterie et de fromages absolument fantastiques, mettant en avant des produits d’une qualité irréprochable.

Chaque bouchée était un voyage à travers les saveurs authentiques de la région, le tout à un rapport qualité-prix imbattable. C’est bien plus qu’une simple épicerie : c’est une expérience, un incontournable pour quiconque visite Manarola et les Cinque Terre. Merci Alberto pour ce moment inoubliable, nous reviendrons sans hésiter lors de notre prochain passage !

Et pour nos amis Italiens :

Durante la nostra visita a Manarola, abbiamo scoperto una vera gemma: l’emporio di Alberto. Fin dal nostro arrivo, siamo stati accolti con una gentilezza e un calore rari. Alberto è un padrone di casa eccezionale, la cui benevolenza illumina questo luogo già ricco di fascino. Ci ha fatto assaggiare una selezione di salumi e formaggi assolutamente fantastici, mettendo in risalto prodotti di una qualità impeccabile.

Ogni boccone è stato un viaggio attraverso i sapori autentici della regione, il tutto con un rapporto qualità-prezzo imbattibile. Non è solo un semplice emporio: è un’esperienza, una tappa imprescindibile per chi visita Manarola e le Cinque Terre. Grazie, Alberto, per questo momento indimenticabile.

Tourist Trap - Avoid at All Costs! We stopped by this place during our holiday and had a very unpleasant experience. We ordered 200g of salami, priced at $25/kg, which should have totaled $5, along with a $2.50 bottle of juice. Instead, we were charged $11.50 without explanation. When we asked about the price of the cold cuts, the owner rudely shouted at us, saying, "It's $10—cash or card." To avoid spoiling our holiday mood further, we decided to leave without arguing, but we definitely would not recommend this...

Im just reviewing the supermarket here, as the lady here was very nice to us and gave us a smile despite the annoying American tourists being "American". Anyway, this review in mainly for Manarola as a place to visit. We've been here many times, and we love it. The best place in this region to stay in for sure. Can't wait...
