Ristorante La Terrazza — Restaurant in Monterosso al Mare

This was our first dinner in Cinque Terre. It's a bit of a hike to get to the restaurant/hotel and literally the beginning of the hike to Vernazza. I reserved the romantic dinner, which to my surprise was in a completely separate, private area with a sick view of Monterosso - it was nice. The food was quite good, but I think the service really made everything great. Alessio is a great young waiter. He's personable, good at conversation and you can tell he's trying to make your experience pleasant. I do think they need to manage the bugs a little better in this area, but it was excusable given the effort (to just us at least). Alessio also had great suggestions and answers to all our questions. I really felt like I was ordering all the right things. We had a unique flambe for desert and took the rest of our bottle of wine to the poolside bar, not far away, to cap off the evening. I highly recommend it here...

The prices are a little higher than other places, but for a reason… and it’s...
