Terza Terra is the perfect restaurant for that. We took the stairs down from the alleyway to the patio. Terza Terra also has a bar that is totally separate and does not have the views. We ordered bruschetta with prosciutto and melted cheese and a panini and shared them. Also had a couple glasses of wine. Very relaxing lunch on the patio, it was a beautiful day and took several photos during lunch. Terza Terre is a great place to have a relaxing lunch with awesome views.

They have terrace seating with Manorola in the far left view. Though it was sunny, it's shaded enough so you don't have to worry about sun in your eyes and it also helps keep the heat at bay. We got the combo with light toast appetizer and two glasses of white wine (at 10am) and got lost with the views of the sea while enjoying some light reading. Perfect pit stop if you're in this town.

Aperitivi cocktail. Drinks, cheese, honey, bread/pesto/anchovies. And a great view!

We stumbled upon this little outdoor restaurant on our way into town coming from The Blue Trail…read more The promise of Schiacchetra caught my attention as I'd read it is a regional sweet white wine and really wanted to sample it. The woman who seated us was friendly and accommodating. They also had a clean bathroom available for customers. The covered patio brought relief from the hot Italian sun, and the view of the water was spectacular. We ordered a charcuterie and wine and enjoyed the view. As we came to appreciate throughout Italy, the charcuterie board was massive and more than enough for the two of us for lunch. The husband enjoyed a chilled fruity cocktail, and my dessert wine came with dessert! Not gluten-free, of course, but the husband of mine didn't mind helping me with that part.

Right off the bat, a lil bit of a weird vibe from the hostess and the waiter that gave us nonstop stares as we sat down and then proceeded to bring us stale bread in a paper bag. At first I thought it was just a few stares because we're American and that's maybe understandable, but every time I would look over in their direction I was met with intense eye contact and it made us all feel very uncomfortable and almost unwelcome. The inside ambiance was also a little sterile but whatever, it was also colder out so their outside area was closed so that was a bummer but understandable. We ordered the Trofie Al Pesto and the Lasgana, as well as the grilled mixed seafood. The pesto came with prepackaged Parmesan (felt a lil weird for a restaurant in Italy) and was a lil too sauce heavy. The lasagna on the other hand was outstanding, probably the only win of the night. Grilled seafood was okay too but nothing special. Overall just a weird and off vibe from the service, nothing friendly or outstanding like the reviews said. Definitely will not be returning and left us with a bad taste in our mouth once we left.

The appetizers came out to the table within a few minutes and the food wasn't far behind. Despite the quick service, the food wasn't what we had come to expect based on past Italian dining experiences. Seafood Appetizer (4/5): I enjoyed the seafood, it was fresh and tasty. My husband felt that some of the seafood was tough Pesto Pasta (3/5): The quality of the pesto pasta seemed inconsistent. My husband's food came out hot and had a great pesto flavor. The rest of the group's food did not come out warm and had almost no flavor. I'm not sure what happened with the pasta, but even after my husband tried my pasta he agreed that it wasn't great.

And let's not get started on the JOKE of an Octopus Salad that we never even got to finish because she took it away before we were done. She didn't even ask by the way! The one down the street at La Posada is WAY superb. If you go to Corniglia, don't waste your money or time on this joke of a restaurant, the view will trick you... don't let that fool you. This place is horrible.
