This restaurant's staff turned their backs on us when we asked to pay the cover charge so that we could pay for the table we were at, after we'd already purchased 20 euros worth of food. They said no, and asked us and our small children to leave, and turned their backs on us. It was an extremely hot day. Another guest who was in line behind us was so astounded by their behavior that he came outside to apologize to us for what he had just witnessed. All of those staff would be immediately fired for their behavior if that had happened in England, the United States, Canada, or many other places. DO NOT GO HERE, SPREAD THE WORD.

We walked over around 8:30 AM and found that it was still there, but it was closed and had a sign that said they opened at 9:00 AM. We walked by again around 9:15 AM and the place was still closed, completely dark, and with no signs of activity. I figured the business had gone away. We found baked goods elsewhere and went on with our day. Later that afternoon we happened to pass by again, and the store was open with a small selection of cannoli and some other sweets. So it seems like in its current state, this is a mid-afternoon bakery of confections. Or something. If you want bread, go to Crai.

They serve Italians first and then serve tourists with an attitude. We saw a group of tourists who wanted to sit together and they were not Italian and this place wouldn't move the tables together. They are rigid and inflexible. We were surprised since Monterroso is filled with tourists and this has not been our experience at other restaurants and places we have eaten at. Don't waste your time, save your money and put it to good use at other places that are very welcoming of Americans and tourists.

It was our last day and we knew we wanted to visit for the famous Sciacchetra. We got a little meat and cheese platter that came with some bread and jam. Simple but so good! The star was definitely the Sciacchetra- which is a special dessert wine from this region. We ended up taking a bottle home from this as a souvenir! It's usually served with a little biscotti- like cookie. I've looked for this wine in the U.S. and it's hard to find! I definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area.

The price / pizza cost is very good! (10€-15€ roughly) Most of the reviews you'll see a quite old, but still relevant. The pizza is infact unremarkable, but it does tickle your fancy when you're in a bind and need a quick meal, canned mushrooms or not. I'm still gonna eat it! My friend and I arrived on the northern-ish side of Monterosso near the train station walking the 10 minutes to the restaurant. Once inside we were immediately greeted, ushered to whatever table we desired and had menus in seconds, they got our order in, food out, and drinks served in under 15 minutes. The food is good, atmosphere pleasant and clean, the staff were warm and charming, and the restaurant was reasonably busy but not overwhelmed.
