    Marvelously cozy atmosphere. My sister and I stumbled upon this cute restaurant and fell in love with its excellent quality and honestly priced Italian and Lingurian cuisine. Best was its tiramisu, even better than Pompi and Giolitti in Rome in my opinion. At this restaurant, we ordered and enjoyed: La farinata con pesto, testaroli (boiled), sciacchetrá sweet wine, and of course amazing tiramisu. Their tiramisu offers rich creamy texture and balanced liquor flavor which I had not found in Rome and Florence. This made our visit to portonevere even more memorable!

    Delicious zuppa di mare!! Best I've ever had

    Perfect little restaurant!! Food was unbelievable and the ambience is SO cute. Great service and delicious fresh fish soup!!! Wish I could have more time here so I could eat at this restaurant for every meal. We really enjoyed it, this is the epitome of a perfect seaside restaurant!

    Very good service with an excellent diavola pizza. The view to the beach is amazing. Very good to have an aperitif with the one you love :).

    Focacceria Il Frantoio

    We went here three times in 3 days! The owner is one of the most fun and personable people ever and…read morehe doesn't even speak English! Go here when in Cinque Terre! You won't regret it!

    Focacceria IlFrantoio is kind of hiding: tucked in a narrow alley off the main drag, but you'll…read moresmell that fresh-baked focaccia the moment you walk nearby. Even if you don't see the sign, follow your nose. Inside the little place, there are only a handful of tables, so most people grab a slice and go. They do those classic Ligurian-style focacce: some round like pizzas (but no sauce) and some square or rectangular slabs. The difference is more than shape, focaccia isn't pizza. It uses dough with more leavening, so it stays thicker, softer, and airier than typical pizza crust, and it gets dimpled and drenched in olive oil before baking. Because of that, the focaccia from Il Frantoio feels pillowy inside but still crispy at the edges -- perfect base for whatever topping they throw on. Go for a classic plain‑olive-oil slice if you want something simple and salty. Or, if you're up for a punchier flavor, try their anchovy version: salty, briny, and made for a beach‑town afternoon. Honestly, it's the perfect snack to grab before hiking to Vernazza -- light, filling, and full of energy for the climb. Bottom line: Focacceria IlFrantoio isn't fancy. It's small, kind of hidden, and not Instagram-flashy. But if you want a genuinely good bite of Ligurian comfort food, warm focaccia, salty anchovies or olive-oil-rich crust, handheld and cheap, this spot hits exactly right.
