) "We just had a beer and a plate that had tuna, swordfish, tomato and onions."
"They served tasty small bites that complemented the atmosphere and view."
"The staff was extremely rude and acted like serving us was a burden."
4 Best views of Monterosso for a good price! Service is not bad at all and the food was really tasty! We had Pasta pesto, Pasta of the day, Caprese sallad, theee types of bruschetta, one coke and one cappuccino. For ~60 EUR. Only dissappointment where the portion- sacks of olive oil, balsamico and salt.But hey, who cares when the view is breath taking and you left not hungry anymore !
5 I went here three times in a two night trip it was so nice lol. I had nighttime gelato and there was no wait. I came here for breakfast twice and was happy with the cappuccino and brioche. The brioche alla crema is lemon cream. The view is great if you eat on the patio.
4 This beachside gelateria offers a wide range of flavors, from classic stracciatella to refreshing fruit sorbets. We ordered multiple scoops during our visit—some creamy, some fruity—and each one hit the spot. Whether you’re fresh off the beach or just strolling through town, it’s the kind of treat that feels earned. The texture was consistently smooth, and the flavors were bold without being overly sweet. Even the fruit-based options had a nice balance, which made them a great pick for warmer afternoons. The view of the sea adds to the charm, especially if you grab a seat facing the water. It’s casual and laid-back, with a mix of locals and tourists passing through. Service can be hit-or-miss during peak hours—sometimes quick, sometimes a little scattered—but the gelato itself makes up for it. If you’re not in a rush, it’s a great spot to pause, cool off, and soak in the Monterosso vibe. Definitely worth a stop, especially if you’re exploring the promenade or waiting for the ferry.
4 Been there in August 2024. Absolutely stunning views and it was not that difficult to find a seat with a beautiful view. The wine was decent and the food was decent but not the best pasta I've ever had in my life! Service was okay and so was the price!
5 Really friendly staff who were accommodating to our large group with complex orders. The focaccias are good and they do excellent coffee. Also the views from the terrace are stunning!
5 We got to Monterosso before the beach opened and waited in line, were able to get 2 beds in the 2nd row with an umbrella, I think it was $50. We enjoyed the beach very much, you should wear flip flops or water shoes because the pebbles get very very hot! We got greek salad and focaccia to go for lunch from the bar, it was great. Before taking the train to another town, we had spritz on their deck. Beautiful views!
5 This is probably the most touristic bar restaurant of Monterosso, it has the best view that you can enjoy while you eating, just before the ferry come and pick you up to take as Le you home. It is full of tourist but I don my mind, as the food is good and the atmosphere also. You are on holiday after all so even if crowded, who care. Monterosso is such a nice place. You cannot expect top service and cheap dishes when I’d do busy like summer. I have been back here several times
4 I wasn't expecting much given the previous reviews, but we had a good experience - would give 4.5 if I could. Anybody giving a 1 star review needs to have a good look at themselves. It's not the Savoy Grill, it's a tourist place, in a tourist town, and you are not as special as you think you are. Very busy but fresh food, served quickly, and with good humour, at perfectly reasonable prices. The location adds to it, just beautiful.
Many guests enjoy the pasta dishes, various types of bruschetta, and of course the gelato with flavors ranging from classic stracciatella to refreshing fruit sorbets.
Both work well here—you can stop by for a quick coffee or gelato, or take your time enjoying a relaxed meal with great views on the rooftop or patio seating.
Early mornings for breakfast or later in the evening tend to be quieter and offer plenty of seating with stunning views of Monterosso.
Yes, they are friendly to groups and families, offering comfortable seating, high chairs for kids, and a casual, welcoming atmosphere.
