Well, we got here at opening and sadly (and joyously) we were the only people in the restaurant (until a bit later, some folk showed up). Missed the hubbub of the restaurant environment but instead, had amazing service with amazing food. Our appetizer (which is considered prima corso- first course) was fried calamari with zucchini. It was light, perfectly seasoned. We asked for lemon/limes & they also brought a red sauce which was perfect with the calamari (then bread & oven roasted potatoes we ordered on the side). We also had as part of the cover charge, delicious focaccia, crispy & soft at the same time. Our final course, we had grilled fish, swordfish with lightly spicy seasoning & filet of sole, very light & tasty. We truly went all out, had a side of spinach lightly sautéed in butter & oven roasted potatoes. And a bottle of Prosecco & fizzy water. Although we didn't have dolci (desserts), they looked amazing! And the servers still brought a medley of biscotti, light cookies, so we ordered an espresso with a side of hot milk. Perfect ending. We were starving at the beginning of the meal, delightfully & fully satisfied at the end of the meal. I really enjoyed this meal at Le Cinque Terre.
Encore: We did return for desserts. We had Tiramisu, Mille Fleur & Apple Cake. OMG. Amazing. Well worth the walk to dessert.
