    coffee:))
    Amanda C.

    the food was great and it was a nice place to stop to get some shade. Even better was sharon. Sharon speaks 5 languages and has been our favorite waitress in italy so far. service was excellent. would recommend coming here just to meet sharon!!!!! THEY ALSO HAVE ICED COFFEE!!

    Eggs bacon macchiato

    Great location food and service. Glad to sit outside after a hike! Staying in Vernazza but well worth the hike over. Update...was so good my son and I ordered seconds. OJ, macchiato, eggs, and bacon (top 5 bacon I have ever had)...fantastic!

    Focaccia

    I wasn't a huge fan of the focaccia. The server was really nice. A lot of locals come here so it's interesting to see.

    Breakfast menu. The chocolate croissants and orange juice are amazing!

    My wife and I stopped in here to wait out the rain before continuing our hike through cinque Terre. This place has a very cool feel, with great WiFi, and friendly staff. We got cappuccinos so croissants and orange juice for €4.50 each. The chocolate croissant was incredible! By far the best I've had while in Italy. TE cappuccinos were great as well and the fresh squeezed orange juice was so sweet and delicious. Others around me got a full breakfast plate that looked really good, as well. Would definitely recommend for a breakfast/brunch stop.

    Great breakfast deals! Really liked the eggs and bacon (not American style bacon FYI) with yogurt fresh squeezed OJ/grapefruit/lemon juice and espresso. For 7€ it's a great deal in my book. Also they have good lunch and dinner foods. I especially liked their pesto gnocchi. Open late! Plus of corse the all important free wifi.

    The World Pizza a little bit of everything on here. Delicious.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch. Lasagna left something to be desired but the world pizza was delicious I highly recommend it

    Delicious food! You sit in an open air courtyard and get treated to some delicious authentic Italian food. The standouts to me were the gnocchi which was nice and creamy and the lasagna al ragù which is seriously some of the best lasagna I've ever had! Definitely recommended. :)

    Had never had pesto on a pizza before but after today I will be on the lookout for it!

    Wonderful food with excellent local wines and olives. Absolutely fabulous service. Right in the town square complete with the customary old church and statue.

    A pizza with a little bit of everything - 8€

    The pizza is really good and enough for sharing (since we've been snacking on calamari and gelato the whole way). They have free Wi-Fi and take credit card. Good little place to stop before going on your hike.

    We were in need of nourishment after climbing into town. We were wandering in the alleyways when we came across Mateo. We liked the outdoor eating area and decided to eat here. We ordered lasagne presto, freogie presto?, and gnoogni presto because we never had them before. All there plates were so good that we ate everything. The presto sauce was so good we were dipping the complimentary bread in the sauce after all the pastas were gone. The service was excellent. Our total bill was $30. Also, free Wi-Fi with your meal.

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.
