Il Ciliegio - MONTEROSSO AL MARE

Couldn’t ask for a better view or service. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The food was absolutely stunning made with local ingredients from the area. Don’t be put off by the location! We were picked up in Monterosso and taken to the restaurant. 11/10 would recommend if you’re in Cinque Terre!!

Very disappointed with the evening, worst experience so far after 2 weeks in Italy. Food in total was nothing more than mediocre. Ribs were good, desserts were ok. The mixed grill seafood and meat were lacked everything Want to be clear that this is towards the management and not the waitress. We totally understand that not everybody understands and speaks English. However when we spent close to 200 Euros on a rather rushed meal (two adults and two children 3 9 who barely ate), and not once were we asked if we needed something or if the meals were ok. White wine (tried to get som info about the local wines from somebody who seemed to be in charge and the only thing he could recommend was the most expensive wine on the list, everything else was ****) left on the table, no ice bucket until we asked for it after 20 min, nobody offered salt/pepper/olive oil/balsamic vinegar- hade to go and find them ourselves. Same off course with dessert menu Anyway, this is the first time I write a review on anything, but we just found the place as a whole as very ignorant, you get more attention at the drive through

The food was great with a perfect view of Monterosso! Staff were very friendly too! This hidden gem is a must when visiting the Cinque Terre!!

Great view, excellent kitchen, super sorted wine offer. restaurant would definitely be worth a definitiv, even if they went through. price - performance absolutely ok. tipp taken from an older slow food guide!

My husband and I had dinner in this restaurant a few nights ago.Of course, the restaurant has the advantage of offering a lovely view, which allows you to enjoy the beauty of monterosso from above. I have to say that the location is even more appreciated this view, because elegant, but also rustic thanks to a corner dedicated to barbecue lovers. In spite of some reviews, we were not negatively surprised by the prices, which in our opinion are totally justified by the quality of the dishes served. we started with a tartare of fassona with a panato and fried egg yolk on top. Divine GUSTO! only flaw, the egg yolk has been brought already broken. Spaghetti with the rocks, with so much lobster, STEPITOSI!! we continued with the mixed fried, very good, but not at the level of the other courses, especially the tuna slopped in sesame crust and poppy, which we think is one of the best ever eaten. all accompanied by an excellent pink negram. friendly and professional staff, however, we show the long wait between one course and the other. remains however highly recommended!
