We enjoyed our food here, but based on the yelling we witnessed in an interaction between some…read moretourists and what I'm assuming is the chef, I would probably go elsewhere. Thankfully we didn't experience the same attitude based on our interactions! I'm American and did my best to speak what I could in broken Italian. The host that spoke better English took our order and he was very kind. We were welcomed around 1:30 pm looking for an aperol spritz and a place to use the restroom. We saw some tourists not understand that the outside tables near the front were for eating customers. They misunderstood the lady that for drink only, to use the further umbrellas. The lady came back out and yelled at the tourists and muttered "impossiblè" to herself when walking back inside The Aperol spritz contained only Aperol and prosecco, and was very strong. I couldn't finish it and my mom didn't bother drinking hers. We also ordered grilled anchovies with capers and tomatoes, and they were lovely. The saltiness and juices from the anchovies were delicious with the provided white bread. Overall, the menu looked wonderful here but I may go elsewhere for more hospitable service. Also, keep in mind that "coperto" is a charge (per person) for service and things like bread. This was the first place on our vacation in late September so far where we came across this fee!

This place does not like Americans! We walked up politely. And waited and waited. Finally a Woman…read morewith dark hair said "one momento." We could tell they were busy. We politely waited. A table was finally cleared and we expected after waiting patiently to be seated based on her reactions towards us. But no one asked us questions. We were not asked to be put on a list. No one told anything. Then suddenly 2 locals popped in and they sat them down in front of us. With NO , I mean zero explanation. Did they have reservations ??? No one told us anything. They treated us rudely and poorly. I guess because we are Americans. I would never ever go back to this place in the alley.

The owners are so kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. What really sets this place apart is how reliable everything is--from the quality of the food to the speed of service, every visit has been outstanding. The seafood risotto is fantastic, but honestly, I've tried almost everything on the menu and every dish has been amazing. The stuffed anchovies and fried calamari are must-try appetizers! In a town full of dining options, this restaurant stands out by delivering an experience that keeps you coming back every time.

We had requested a sea view table and were seated closest to the water. We ordered the fish sampler, pesto risotto, and tuna. The seafood sampler included nine types of fish, ever one was excellent.

I would recommend this place to anyone coming to Monterosso! Definitely make a booking in advance, we saw several people get turned away who didn't have a booking.
