Beautiful view so would b a good place to have a cocktail and relax. Located off a beach that was…read morevery quiet, unlike the other beaches in town. Restaurant itself is quite odd.

Would not recommend the swordfish. White bread was stale.

We had focaccia sandwiches which were the best in all of our travels through Italy. Their sandwiches are drizzled with olive oil then they toast the bread.

We highly recommend!

They're located right across the port and church, so you can see some nice views of the ocean and also check out the church. I can't attest to the food since we only got an espresso, but the caffeine hit the spot for an early morning wake up call.

They have a ton of breakfast options like cornettos, lattes, eggs and pancakes. Their pistachio pancakes and chia pudding will make you salivate. Both came with fresh high quality berries. I love that their portion sizes for the pancakes are on the smaller side unlike the US. I also enjoyed their hot chocolate with a side of espresso (my favorite combination where mocha is unavailable lol). We also came in the evening once and seemed like it is a popular place to get an aperitif. Service is a bit slow but 10/10 would recommend.

Stop and grab a lemon icee on your hike! Pro tip add vodka!! Beautiful view from the shop window.read more

This place is literally an oasis!!…read more When visiting Cinque Terre, you have the option of taking a train across all five of the villages. Each village is about 5 minutes apart, which makes for a fun day village hopping! However, there's one commute that I recommend you skip the train and take a hike ;) This is the hike from Corniglia (3rd village) to Vernazza (4th village). You can start from either village, but the pathway is more scenic from Corniglia to Vernazza. Now, why am I saying all this? I say this because Il Gabbiano is located at the middle point between the hike! The hike itself is not that challenging, but depending on the temperature, you will break a sweat! We went in early September and it was still hot! (80F). There's also a very chill cat that lives by the store - he/she might be the owner, so be sure to give the cat a pet as a sign of respect and gratitude. The store has a variety of different fruit, all freshly squeezed! I got the watermelon juice - it was a bit expensive tho, but I guess when you're the only store on a hike, you could charge whatever you want! It's worth it. They have a beautiful outdoor sitting area on top of the hill. Enjoy your drinks while basking in the views. Bonus: along the hike, you'll run into countless olive trees, lime trees, and even wild fig trees! I grabbed one fig off the tree and it was so sweet!
