1. Great service: we arrived 30 minutes before their closing time, and the waitress still seated us 2. Fresh seafood and ingredients: we had salted anchovies, octopus salad, lasagna, and spaghetti with mussels sauce. All delicious 3. View: looking out of the ocean, you can see Manarola from afar. read more

After seeing so many raving Yelp reviews of this restaurant, we decided to give it a shot on our last night in Corniglia. 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. read more

Visited here in Oct. 2024. My friends and I decided to stop here for lunch when our hike from Monterosso got cut short by the rain. It was a lovely place in a picturesque location. I wasn't extremely hungry, and decided to try something different, so I just ordered the codfish fritters. Let me tell you, this was one of the best dishes I had during my 2 weeks in Italy (which included Rome, Florence, and Venice as well). If I ever get back to CT, I will make a point of going back for those fritters! read more

We have been in Cinque Terre for 4 nights now and this by far my favorite restaurant. Yes it's in Corniglia which is now my favorite town too. Yes you have to work to get up to the town. This restaurant is at the top of the stairs leading to the train station. Take the shuttle from the train if you don't want to walk it. Make a reservation in advanced and ask to be seated on the terrace for amazing views under shady olive trees. The entire ambiance is amazing and the food was great. Service was excellent as well. Maybe you will get lucky like we were to also be serenaded by the local doves. Enjoy and relax here!!! Great last night in Cinque Terre read more

Food and service was amazing! We went back twice while visiting and had to convince ourselves to go elsewhere.

We had an amazing dinner at La Posada on our final evening in Corniglia! Located right at the top of the 382 steps up from the train station, La Posada is a welcome refuge for those who make the climb up. Life hack alert! There is a bus that runs from the station to the top of town until about 20:00. The bus is included in the Cinque Terre pass or costs €2.50 per person. Might I suggest taking the bus up and the stairs down. ;) We made reservations on a Monday morning for a table that same evening via WhatsApp. Super quick communication and easy to reserve! Our appetizer was wonderful! Stuffed mussels and fried anchovy fritters. I've never had anything like it in Italy but the waitress told me it was very traditional -- her grandfather used to make the stuffed mussels when she was little. Speaking of our waitress... She was an absolute delight, as was the other waiter, a gentleman from Morocco! We continued our meal with two pastas -- paccheri with raw shrimp and pistachio for me and seafood linguine for my husband. Both were out of this world! We shared the tuna, which was cooked beautifully and had great Asian-fusion flavors. We finished things off with a tiramisu and grilled pineapple for dessert. The grilled pineapple was so simple (literally just grilled pineapple with cinnamon) but one of the best desserts I've ever had. When in Cinque Terre, be sure to add a visit (or two or three -- we wish we hadn't discovered La Posada on our last night there) to your plans!! read more

We are here twice while staying in Corniglia. The men in my family loved the lasagna. Light layers with a delicate meat sauce. I will never be able to replicate. Guess we'll need to visit again sometime soon! read more

5 Terre has no shortage of very good places to eat. Finding a great place with amazing views is hard. La Posada has both. Excellent food, amazing views and professional service staff. If you are not staying in Corniglia I still recommend the train and then the bus transfer to get to La Posada. Sunset is not to be missed ! read more

Arguably one of the best views in Cinque Terre! This area feels like an underrated gem. The wine and food was delicious, the view was beautiful, and the ambiance was romantic but also laid back. You will need to reserve a table the day before. read more

We've tried numerous restaurants in Corniglia, but this one was by far the best. We stumbled upon it only because we walked up the stairs from the train station, saw it, and immediately made reservations. Yes, you really should get a reservation, especially during the busy season. We got one for the next day, and they had 9:30 available. That's a bit late for us, but it was worth it. We got there about ten minutes early, and were seated right away. About two tables were seated after we were, so it was still busy. The ambiance is lovely. Loved the trees with the light globes. This is a quiet, romantic place, with an amusing cat that wanders back and forth between tables and sits near a patrons chair. Nope, the cat does not rub up against anyone, which is good because I'm very allergic to cats. He/she just wandered about, taking a moment here and there to sit and ponder life. Our meal and food was amazing. Seafood is perfecto. Grigliata mista (prawns, langoustine, calamari, fish) was superb. The Corniglia bruschetta of anchovies, tomatoes, and olives fresh and tasty. The caprese is outstanding. The Trenette with pesto, potatoes, green beans is by far my favorite pasta dish during my past eight days in Italy. But the surprising gem is the biscotti (cantucci) with a very regional dessert wine, Sciacchetra, and this was the most amazing show stopper. I had to buy a bottle of this wine in Cinque Terre to bring back with me. It is robust and powerful, a bit sweet, but is tempered beautifully by the perfect almond biscotti. Limoncello with the the lemon pie was also one of the best in Italy so far. Make the reservation. This is a quiet, romantic, fantastic place. The food is outstanding. You won't regret it. Native English speakers will get a kick out of the music too, which was non stop covers of English language songs, in English, but with a very smooth, cool, sultry take on the song. read more

Delightful restaurant! It's ever so slightly out of the way so you might not think to go there unless you know it is there, but it is worth the walk. It looks like they have a great terrace overlooking the water however, the weather was not cooperating and we ate inside the restaurant. The service was very good. We started with a big bowl of steamed muscles with crusty bread and it was amazing! We also had a small salad and for dinner I had stuffed anchovies, which were very good and my wife had a lasagna which was excellent. For dessert I tried the local dessert wine that you dip biscotti into. It was heavenly. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Amazing setting overlooking the water, gorgeous and seafood to match. Mixed grill seafood, pesto pasta and mixed bruschetta appetizer were all top notch. Loved it. Perfect location and setting. read more

Gorgeous views with delicious food. The Tuna entree was fantastic. The owner was very nice and service was good.

Good pizza, nice location (sat outdoors), friendly staff. Stopped here for a quick snack upon arrival into Rome.

5 stars for the amazing view and 5 stars for the amazing food! This place rests atop the last of the 375 steps on the side of the mountain. If the steps make you tired, power through it because this place is well worth stopping by for lunch and a spritz! My husband and I shared a shrimp pasta and a pesto pasta, and both were amazing. The quality of the fresh pasta was like nothing I've ever had before. Dare I say, some of the best pasta I've had. Definitely stop by this fabulous find! read more

La Posada - View from table - Seafood Near Me - Corniglia, SP

We had a nice dinner here. There is both indoor seating and outdoor seating on a terrace with a beautiful view facing the ocean. Locals and tourists alike enjoy the garden-like atmosphere outside. We had fried anchovies to start, which were the best we had in Cinque Terre. Our mains were seafood spaghetti and swordfish. Both were quite good, but the portioning was just a bit small for our taste. Service was very attentive, despite the fact that the garden was across the street from their main kitchen. Local wine is served and highly recommended! read more

We began the hike from Manarola to Corniglia right before lunch, so needless to say, we were pretty hungry by the time we arrived in Corniglia. Hadn't expected the hike to be so grueling. When we arrived in Corniglia, we stumbled upon La Posada (it's one of the first restaurants you see as you get off the trail). We figured it wouldn't be great and a bit of a tourist trap since it was so close to the trail, but we were tired and didn't want to walk much farther. We were dead wrong. They barely spoke English, the pasta was some of the best we've had during our trip, and the food was so fresh. My husband, who doesn't normally eat seafood, let alone tuna, really enjoyed the tuna salad and crab gnocchi. My trofie pesto was delicious (fresh pesto, al dente pasta) and the gnocchi was just perfect bites of pillow potatoes. To top it all off, we were still able to enjoy the cliff side views in their cozy patio. read more

Total bummer...though sweet service. Food was so underwhelming/flavorless, maybe just cook at airBNB. At dinner, it's too dark to see that view anyways and radio is playing loudly on terrace WITH commercials. read more

Very rarely write reviews, but this place was overrated and unwelcoming. Went here since it was recommended in Rock Steve's book. It opens for dinner at 7 and when we arrived at 7:10 the staff was unpleased to see and sit us. The food is okay, but very overpriced (12 euro for a small portion of spaghetti). There are definitely better options to eat at in Corniglia. Would recommend caffe Mateo. read more

Our favorite place in Corniglia. It has an intimate garden terrace, good food, good drinks, and reasonable prices. We got two pasta dishes, a decent sized sampling of meets, and a liter of wine for 44€. The service was friendly (much better than we are used to in Italy) and attentive when we needed something. Usually I would give this a 4, but as reviews seem to be inflated in this area, I give it a 5 to encourage people to come here. Worth the great and relaxing ambiance if nothing else!! read more

This is a wonderful place! Andrea Domenichini is the new owner. The view is breathtaking over looking the water. The sunset is to die for! We had a few appetizers, they were all perfectly done and on point. Took a little time, the wait was worth it. Every dish is prepared as ordered. The main dishes were amazing. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, pleasant and with a great disposition. We will definitely come back next time we are in Corniglia. read more

We heard so much about this place! It was recommended as the best seafood restaurant in Corniglia. Unfortunately we didn't get to experience the food. Made a reservation, were shown to a very nice table with a beautiful view in the garden... Then we waited for about 40 minutes and during this time were not even served water! We just left very frustrated and angry... read more

Totally absolutely OVERRATED. The only thing this restaurant has going for it is the view. Unfortunately they were not interested in accommodating any change to the dishes (example, we wanted the tomato, mozzarella salad without the pork) so we figured no worries there are plenty of other choices. My husband ordered the bronizino which was average and I ordered the filet which could not have been any worse. Tough and smothered in a sauce that had way too much salt. Needless to say, there was a cat walking around who had my entire meal after one bite! He lived well that night. read more

My main reason for writing is no the food, which was excellent, but to point out the location on the App is incorrect (it is correct with Google maps). The restaurant is at the top of the stairs on the road from the station, not on Via Serra. Now back to the food. My wife each had a salad which was good-sized and flavorable followed by a plate of spaghetti al nero with sea bass and artichoke while my wife had the grilled sea bass with tomato and saffron. Both were very good and the service was excellent. There wine list included many local wines. My only complaint is that I would like to have had it little more spacing between the salad and the main course but I've come to realize the Italians consider a salad a side dish and the servers did have to walk a bit from the kitchen to the patio. We enjoyed this last dinner in Corniglia. read more
