Cold and delicious…read more After visiting Monterosso we decided to take the trail to the next town. When that failed, we are not in good shape for climbing countless steps, we ended up back in Monterosso. I was ready for a gelato. I spotted Bar Centrale and made a beeline to get my prize for making it back to town. They offer several flavors, I got the lime flavored one. Easy to order and in and out quickly, and I was enjoying my cold and deliciously tart treat. It was gone so quickly.

Rude! Sat down, looked at menu and it had a lot of fish so we decided to just have wine and desert…read more When we didn't buy a main course they asked us to move inside even though they were half empty. You're just a number.

Great place! My wife & I were traveling through Italy & found ourselves arriving in Laspezia very…read morelate- so late that nowhere was open to get something to eat. Hungry & weary, we opted for the only tho f we could find open at 12:30am - a Viking/heavy metal bar with food- sigh. Surprise - the food is excellent, the beer is excellent, the service is excellent. My wife & I both had the wild boar stew served on a bed of polenta- it was fantastic. If you are not very adventurous or if you are too old at heart to handle heavy metal music (I grew up on it in the 90's so it was like a trip back to my 20's) maybe it's not for you, but if like having fun & tend to find it wherever you are you will probably think it's very cool like I

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.
