    This place is a rip off and they take advantage of a bustling tourist port. They overcharge for…read moremediocre drinks due to their location. They are rude on top of it. Skip the Bellini as it is awful. Actually skip this place and try any of the others that surround it if you find yourself in this lovely destination. Head off the beaten path for better service and prices.

    I can't recall when I've written a scathing review here, but I also can't recall when I've ever…read morebeen so angry while traveling. The folks at this restaurant - chosen because of it's lovely location right on the water's edge - utterly ruined my short visit to Portofino and have left me seething. I see there's only one other review of the place in any case. I've traveled frequently in Italy and if it's one thing I know, it's how to make a Bellini, invented decades back at Harry's Bar in Venice. Peach puree and Prosecco (the less-costly Italian alternative to Champagne). That's all: pour in the peach, then add the Prosecco, served in a thin Champagne flute. Finito. It's a very specific, utterly delicious taste and hard to wreck if made correctly. At Bar Mariuccia, two family members ordered Bellinis, their only one on our vacation. They're not cheap, generally cost 10 - 12 euros. At Harry's Bar, the current charge is more, around 16 euros. But what my family was served were akin to frozen margaritas: blended, icy, disgusting-looking mush, embedded with small seeds that turned out to be from raspberries. Ugh! It was frothy and foul and nothing to do with a Bellini. My folks refused to make a scene by sending these concoctions back. They took two sips and left them on the table. When we discovered they cost 20 euros each ($23 at this moment) I was flabbergasted. I had a testy conversation with several waiters who insisted it was a Bellini and proudly showed me their blender, as though would convince me. They also insisted it was made with peaches even though the raspberries were in plain view. Yes, I should have sent them back immediately, and yes, I should have asked the price first, since it wasn't on the menu. I admit that. And I would have overlooked the whole unpleasant episode except that the waiters decided to make fun of me (a single, middle-aged American lady...), pointing and laughing, even engaging two local policemen in whatever their joke was. They waved me off with laughter and a "grazie" and "bon giorno" - smiling all the while. There are many, MANY other lovely cafes lining Portofino's gorgeous waterfront. The food at Mariuccia is average, the service below that. So the best thing it has going is location, which is identical to ALL the others. So please - I beg you - patronize one of those: this place doesn't deserve your business, and I wish I'd sat down elsewhere. There. Now it's off my chest. On to TripAdvisor!

    Our visit to Nessun Dorma for their pesto-making class ended up being the highlight of our entire…read moretrip to Cinque Terre. We came in not knowing what to expect--whether it would feel overly touristy or genuinely authentic--but it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome, especially traveling with our young daughter. The class itself was both fun and informative. The owner took the time to explain the history and importance of each fresh ingredient, which made the experience feel meaningful rather than just a cooking demo. What really set this apart was the atmosphere. It was interactive, relaxed, and genuinely joyful--we even found ourselves dancing with our daughter by the end. Enjoying freshly made pesto and burrata while overlooking one of the most stunning views in Cinque Terre made it unforgettable. A special thank you to Michael, who went above and beyond--answering all our questions and sharing great local recommendations, especially for swimming spots. If you're visiting Manarola, this is an absolute must-do experience.

    We visited about two months ago and I'm just getting around to writing the review…read more Nessun Dorma is one of those places that hits you the second you walk in. The view alone is insane -- straight-up postcard-level Manarola cliffs and pastel houses glowing in the sun. And then there's the owner, whose energy could power half of Cinque Terre. He literally won this failing spot in a contest and turned it into a full-on experience. Locals may not love that he's a southerner who made it big, but honestly? He's built something incredible. The pesto class is a highlight. You learn exactly where every ingredient comes from, and you realize how tiny an amount of that super-strong garlic you actually need. And smashing basil by hand in a mortar and pestle? Way better than a blender -- you can taste the difference. After class, you're absolutely not leaving hungry. They load you up with wine and a charcuterie board that's basically a meal. And yes -- at some point, you will dance. It's just that kind of place. And the sign you pass on the way in? "Today is a good day to be happy." At Nessun Dorma, it really is.
