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.

The older lady behind the counter noticed my daughter couldn't figure out what she wanted and so she made some recommendations for us and gave her a piece of focaccia bread that she enjoyed on the house. I also noticed local cafes get their bread from this bakery. Highly recommend.

The cappuccino, fresh squeezed OJ and smoothies were perfetto. The avocado toast with egg melded beautifully with buttery undertones and specks of pistachio for texture.

Also got the Pizza Al Salame, this was good but the Levantese was better as it had pesto. We visited around 8 pm at night and there was about a 15 minute wait for the pizza to be made. I wish they did have slices or focaccia at this time but they were out, unfortunately. Still recommend as the pizza was good and not too expensive.

After hiking for 2 hours, you can bet that we were hungry, so we easily gobbled up the cake. If you're looking for some food options in Monterosso, I would certainly recommend this shop!

I went back for an additional focaccia and literally every employee looked at me in line and did nothing. I waited for about 10 minutes. An Italian couple came in and they immediately served them.

Regardless, rudest staff I've ever encountered.

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.
