Forget about fancy designs or similar - this is only about taste and most important local tasts. I really enjoyed my meal, and did discover new tasts, that I never had tried before. Yes I would visit this again, if I get the chance. Do forget to try the chickpea pie - and have cash (they don't accept cards)...

Ordered two burgers, cheesecake, and a large fries to go. They gave no plates, no utensil to eat…read morethe cheesecake, and both burgers were pink! Terrible! Cheesecake was super small, in a condiment cup, and no utensils to eat it. Shame on them!

Amazing burgers and fries. I got the bacon cheeseburger and the meat was seasoned incredibly well…read more They cook your burger to your liking. The fries are a different ball game. I wish I knew the secret to how they cut them. They are perfect: not too thin, not too thick, and seasoned to perfection. I also got the red velvet cupcake because I was excited to see it on the menu. Moist and just ok. If I lived here, I would definitely be a regular for the burgers and fries though! They also have free wifi and burritos.we took our food to go, but have a few couches on the inside and some patio seating if you prefer to dine in.

The main guy running the…read morecafe is very chatty and runs the pastry side of the business, while his brother apparently runs the rest of the food menu. Everything we tried was delicious, and appealed to me more than the super-touristy spots further down the road (though obviously most of the clientele here are also tourists). Prices seemed reasonable for the amount/quantity of food. Most importantly, Il Parata sells toilet paper, which proved hard to come by in Vernazza. Be sure to arrive before 5pm if you want food (outside of cannolis, which were available later).

The only shame is that I can't remember the owners name, but I definitely remember his good…read morehospitable energy and great food. He was so passionate about each pastry and dish which makes all the difference. Some chefs are just robotically serving up something to make money, but once in a while you come across the few special ones who are crafting their passion into an experience of flavor - they care about the customer, they care about the food, they want to see smiles and make your day memorable. They create an atmosphere out of their own infectious energy. These artists are truly making the world a better place and I can definitely say that about this establishment. They served this pistachio cannoli which was loaded with ricotta and actual pistachio flavor touched with orange, which was the best cannoli we had through a month of gluttonous Italian adventure. Their pistachio croissant matched the greatness and in fact was even better than any that we found in France! The berry panna cotta was also perfectly balanced being quite the treat yet clean feeling; the trademark Cinque Terre pesto gnocchi of course hit the spot; and the walnut ravioli sheesh what flavor as well as unique factor - dare I say, I even tasted a hint of hazelnut. If you go to Cinque Terre they say have have to go to Vernazza, and if you go to Vernazza I'm saying you have to visit Il Pirata. It's a little peace away from the madness tucked into the top of the street. They will treat you right

Vegan food (only vegan it seems) in Pisa!…read more Food** The food all sounds really good on paper but I'm actually production it was not so nice. We ordered the pizza with seitan slices. There were 4 slices of very thin seitan sheets and a couple small clumps of cheese... it was basically bread and tomato sauce so not really worth the money. There should be more toppings or more cheese. We also got the miso soup which was decent but it was luke warm. Cappuccino was good. Atmosphere ** Very small place, 3 bar stools and tiny counter to eat off of. No music or anything to add to make it feel nice. Service *** The man at the counter was nice. Price €€ Under 15 euro each

We had the caprese salad, grilled prawns, and grilled sea bream.
