It was a alone trip. I had a good food experience at here!
I was staying in Manarola and tried a famouse restaurant in this village. I called and checked the website but they didin't work (the website wasn't connected completely)... so I visited and asked! However it was most busy season. No space and the reception's altiude was so terrible....( He said just "I don't know"...)
I checked Google map and found this restaurant. Their foods and service made my sad feeling happy!
They were almost fully booked but welecomed alone customer.
There were a slection of local wines and 2 kinds of local draft beers. I'm working as a sommelier in London so it's a good point for me. I had a beer and a glass of wine.
I ordered salted anchovies and focàccia. Normaly in Italy restaurants serves with some bread. This restaurant served focàccia, which was tasty and a good friend with anchovies with ex-olive oil.
This focàccia is the best one in my life! It's very crispy and oily with tasty olive oil. I could feel the flour flavor. We have to order from 2 people's portion however we can take away left ones. I can't wait to eat as a breakfast tommorrow.
Thank...

The pesto is really flavorful and the green beans were a perfect pair! The anchovies are really salty and obviously meant to be eaten with the bread, but just be prepared to plan your bites. Tomatoes were of course great as are all the tomatoes we've had in Italy.
For dessert we did the tiramisu. My boyfriend loved it, I personally found it too sweet and couldn't eat it. It was pretty balanced between coffee and chocolate flavors and the cream was very light.
This was a surprising favorite for me and would definitely...
Read moreIf you are going to Cinque Terre - you have to come here. Me and my friends started off our day by doing a Pesto Making Class here with Yvonne, she explained all the ins and outs of the ingredients we used, their origins, significance and we had such a fun time making our own delicious pesto ( paired with a glass of very good cinque terre wine). We loved it so much we made a reservation at the restaurant for dinner that night. We arrived for dinner and were so welcomed by the staff and Yvonne. We were sat under a gorgeous canopy of lemon trees. The focaccia is amazing, the toppings clearly all fresh and local and after we had some of the best Tiramisù I’ve ever had. This place is amazing value, has a fantastic ambiance and great service. And we even got to take a lemon home. This is...
