Terza Terra is the perfect restaurant for that. We took the stairs down from the alleyway to the patio. Terza Terra also has a bar that is totally separate and does not have the views. We ordered bruschetta with prosciutto and melted cheese and a panini and shared them. Also had a couple glasses of wine. Very relaxing lunch on the patio, it was a beautiful day and took several photos during lunch. Terza Terre is a great place to have a relaxing lunch with awesome views.

They have terrace seating with Manorola in the far left view. Though it was sunny, it's shaded enough so you don't have to worry about sun in your eyes and it also helps keep the heat at bay. We got the combo with light toast appetizer and two glasses of white wine (at 10am) and got lost with the views of the sea while enjoying some light reading. Perfect pit stop if you're in this town.

We decided to do their famous pesto-making class, and honestly, this ended up being such a fun, enjoyable, and entertaining experience. The owner, who leads the class, was so approachable and eloquent, and I really loved that it wasn't just about making pesto. He actually took the time to explain the ingredients, the tradition, and the proper way to make it, so the whole thing felt surprisingly educational while still being very relaxed and fun. Music was great, lots of energy, beautiful views, and just a really happy, social vibe, that was the atmosphere. You're basically making pesto while overlooking one of the most picturesque views in Cinque Terre, so it's hard not to have a good time. At the end, you get to enjoy the pesto you made completely from scratch with a really good-size charcuterie board with fruits, cheeses, cold cuts, bread... Would I come here expecting a Michelin-worthy meal? No. But would I recommend it for the experience, the view, the ambience, and a fun afternoon in Manarola? Absolutely. Sometimes it's not just about teh food-- and Nessun Dorma is definitely one of those places.

There was lively music and dancing while we made pesto and just overall had the best time. Every person there was smiling! Special shoutout for gluten free (senza glutine) they have you covered with your own board and bread at the end of class you just have to tell them before class! I want to come back to cinque Terra cause it is beautiful and I will be doing this class again and recommending to all of my friends.

The waitress pointed out a notice *at the very back of the menu* (in other words, you have no notice when you arrive at the cafe and ask for a table) that says: "Drinking at the table is mandatory for each seat." It's not the end of the world, and maybe the proprietor has to have a rule like that so people don't occupy tables without buying anything. My quibble is that rules like that should be visible to customers ahead of time.

Almost certainly the best you'll get in Riomaggiore while eating. There are 10 tables on the rail with a perfect view to the sea. The sad news is that they don't do reservations anymore so planners don't get a leg up on setting a table aside. The service here was sub-par, but the server was very nice. We started with the cheese plate and some moscato. I didn't like a couple of the cheeses but the wine was great. For dinner, I ended up with the classic lasagna and I thought it was just ho hum. I got to try some of my daughter's pesto and that I found to be better than the lasagna.

It started out as the perfect venue. We arrived at Riomaggiore and couldn't belive our eyes. What…read morea magical place. Ambiance was perfect. We'd been traveling through northern Italy for 7 days. We unpacked and went straigh to A pie for dinner. We didn't mind a wait because the location was amazing. Things went south from there. Please understand that we hadn't had one bad meal in Italy (3 meals a day for 7 days). The seafood apetizer was a scrawny pile of tiny veggies and tiny seafood. The staff were rude. We waited an hour for the meal and it took us almost half an hour to get a drink and then they ignored us for an hour after that. Others around us, locals, were being charmed and served quickly and professionally. We were treated as if we were nothing of value. Dinner was the worst pasta I'd had in Italy. By the time we left I'd had it. I'm sure some people get good meals there. We are very respectful and kind to all servers wherever we go so there was not call for this. Looking forward to another meal elsewhere to change our opinoin.

Sure, they charge four euros for a tiny cup of their refreshments, but when you've been hiking uphill, Bar il Gabbiano is a welcome reprieve. It's a small bar with a lovely view of Corniglia. Service was welcoming and friendly. It was definitely the break we needed before our descent down into Corniglia.

Just the right amount of Aperol, prosecco, club soda, and ice in a tall stemmed glass. Others I had elsewhere were too bitter being heavy on the Aperol and lacking enough ice. - Sunset: gin and Fetteman's of not so sweet sparkling pink lemonade but the stars were what was in it. Pink peppercorns, berries, anise, and other herbs made it unique and refreshing. - Havana club rum: great with their fresh mint for mojitos. - Snacks: from peanuts to little slices of sandwiches to tortilla meat and cheese rolls to full charcuterie, they were all great. - Covered outdoor area with high tables and stools, movie theatre seating, a padded bench in the window, and a directors chair made of jeans. Also inside bar. - Not crowded Lowlights: - Closes early around 9. Regular spot for our friend's family who have been visiting for 15 years and I can see why. We're fans too.
