Il Ciliegio - MONTEROSSO AL MARE

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

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!!

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!!

Wonderful place, with a view on monterosso, priceless, the kitchen respects the level of the room, but the true value is the owner, attentive to the needs of the clientele and the details....

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!
