Bread, fried eggs and bacon
Jonathan V.

My review is for breakfast only, and I compared it to the Lunch Box, which is just a few steps away. (We ate there the day before) Eggs were not fried as long, bacon was slightly crispy, and the piece of bread was bigger. My wife got pancakes, and they were good. Glass of cold milk was 1.50€

Ham and mozzarella sandwich

A few friends and I were staying in Vernazza, Cinque Terre for a couple days, decided to head down to the town/beach, and was looking for a good place for lunch. It was pretty hard for us to find somewhere that had reasonable prices and wasn't overcrowded. After making the suggestion to go a little further into town to find somewhere, we stumbled upon the Blue Marlin Bar. This restaurant was a very cute, casual joint. We had a friendly server who was always around when we needed her. There were a lot of tasty-looking options on the menu, and I decided to go with the Ham and mozzarella sandwich. It was really good, especially paired with what I think is the most AMAZING daiquiri I have ever had! Like seriously, I was in love y'all. You could get the strawberry daiquiri regular or with cut up fruit added for one Euro more (which is what I went with.) It was just so fresh....My Texas friends were pretty excited to see that they had margaritas on the menu, which looked pretty great as well. I also tried some of my friends pizza, can't remember what it was but it was colorful with vegetables, and was a great option too. Definitely a good place to go to get a bit out of the tourist zone, and is right by the beach!

Great wine

Nice and cozy place in town located very closely to the train station. Very friendly staff it is a nice place to go and hangout. There were lots of locals there as well and not just tourist. My guesthouse actually recommended this place to go eat and drink at. They have a variety of foods and a large selection of wine and drinks. Food prices were around 10-15 euros and a house wine was 4 euros. It closed down for the season this week and should re open again when winter is done. I wasn't able to eat but just had some wine and like most of Italian wines it was amazing. their pizzas did look quite good and large. Everyone eating there seemed very happy. There are also two parts to the place. One section you can sit down and eat and the other section is the bar. When i come back to Vernazza I definitely want to go back there for both food and drjnk

Chocolate cake and iced coffee
Kristina S.

Had a lovely morning iced coffee here (served in a wine glass which was fun hah) and a piece of chocolate cake. Locals and tourists both coming in which is always a good sign. Nice outdoor tables along the main stretch made for some great people watching. Service was pleasant and attentive.

We loved the PESTO on anything! Pesto bruschetta, the spritz, the coffee, croissants, "American" breakfast (eggs and focaccia-so good), tuna salads... everything was so refreshing and our go to place when we were just wanting something to hold us over or fuel up for a few hours. Loved the outdoor seating and the staff speaks great English.

Great place to enjoy wine, beer or great pizza after hiking the Cinque Terre trails. The house white was nice, slightly sweet and refreshing, and the pizza excellent.

Best croissant of my life--even better than any pastry I had in France. Delicious cappuccino as well. I highly recommend this cafe!

Vulnetia - Pesto pasta

Service was really awful (I don't love Italy's "whichever waiter decides to ask takes part of your…read moreorder") We had three waiters take our order drinks/appetizers/dinner and they seemed really annoyed at us when they forgot stuff... the octopus salad was the best thing we got- tender and interesting- the walnut cream pasta was good- pizza was alright but very Italian with spotty cheese and runny tomato sauce. Aperol & lemon cello spritzes we're heavy handed with liqueurs, so very bitter and thick. Don't think I'd come back- Luca was better across the way. Okay if you can't go elsewhere.

Visiting Cinque Terre in mid-November when the weather is cold and most shops and restaurants seem…read moreto be closed means limited options overall. On a Thursday evening in Vernazza, where we were staying, we really only had four open restaurants to choose from for dinner: Vulnetia, Gianni Franzi, Taverna Del Capitano, and Il Baretto. Il Baretto had the best reviews on TripAdvisor, its average 4-star rating exceeding the mediocre 3-3.5 ratings of the other three. However, I really wanted to try Tegame Vernazza, a local specialty of baked anchovy with potatoes, as well as a pasta I hadn't tried before. Vulnetia had the best combination of menu diversity and reasonable prices. Under other circumstances during the regular season, we probably would have avoided all four restaurants. Alas, we made do. My husband and I were delighted to discover that at the least the ambience was beautifully decorated and warm inside. The cover charge of 2 euros per person included bread--stale white bread without any condiment of EVO, butter, or balsamic vinegar. We ordered the tegame Vernazza (15 euros) and the pansotti with walnut sauce (14 euros). Both were good, not amazing, and both portions were on the smaller end. The walnut sauce, plopped on top of the stuffed pasta, was not terribly flavorful and was stingy in amount, not enough to fully mix the pansotti, much less to sop the bread with. The dishes came out suspiciously quickly, but did satiate the curiosity if not the appetite. Service was extraordinary slow, even though we were one of a handful of parties there. In the evening, it was nice that the waiters weren't rushing us to leave, allowing us to take our time.
