Great wifi and they didn't rush us when we lingered for over an hour. Not only did they have the more traditional breakfast fare, they also had daily specials, such as Minestrone, Gnocci alla Romana, pizzas and more. Highly recommended. NOTE: There is a much smaller version on a side street. This review is for the large Tossini located about a block from the city square.

Its flavor resembles that of lemonade, which one would have in the states but has a tangier flavor which, I found very appealing. The menu is a nice size and offers plenty of food options to choose from. The background scenery of the beautifully designed architectural buildings makes for an enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere while dining at the café. I'll definitely be back.

We were a bit too early, clearly. We had a drink somewhere else, then made our way through the square and it was packed. We chose Bar Berto randomly, mainly because it was busy and yet had one nice table free near where we could watch all the passers-by. I think this place is known for its beers, but we were doing campari spritzes and stuck with it as we perused the menu. We ordered a mozzarella di bufala appetizer and each had a pasta. Mine was the Genovese specialty - Trofie Pasta Genovese - and my dining companion ordered a ravioli dish. Both were excellent, but the Trofie was a revelation. Just drowning in the basil pesto and the pasta pieces were so unique and the texture so perfect. We loved our meal and the service was excellent. We were helped by two different young women who seemed like international students or travelers - seemed like English was their first language. So glad we chose to luxuriate on the square - it was fun to people watch and be in such a lively place for a few hours.

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.

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 ambience was welcoming, with seating inside and outside, and a big display of available pastries.

I wish we could have tried more things later in the day such as the focaccia sandwiches and tortas, but we also wanted to try other places. Next time!

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!
