Trattoria da Sandro serves excellent cuisine and offers creative specials. A short walk from the train station, on Via Roma 62 across from the Blue Marlin Bar, this place can be a nice change from the busy harborside restaurants.

Trattoria Gianni is moderately priced, well decorated, and convenient-- nestled on the left side of the Harbor square.

Pesto "sauce" was invented in the Cinque Terre. Any visit without a slice of pesto pizza is an unfulfilled visit! You can get it throughout the Cinque Terre.

Travel uphill from the train station to Pirates of 5-terre cinque terre as they write it locally for a fine breakfast, pastry, lunch or dinner. The twin Sicilian brothers who run the place are English bilingual,and say they are on a "Mission to teach good food in Italy" are quite fun and friendly. They say they do not have a harbor view so must concentrate on quality food instead.
