Cinque terre is a place where the 21st century just passes by without altering anything regarding taste and flavours.
Along this coast, halfway between past and present, the cuisine is balanced between tradition and innovation.
Through the Cinque Terre hills, the 5 villages (Vernazza, Riomaggiore, Monterosso, Manarola, Corniglia) offer different types of locations, such as luxury restaurants or more easy going “Trattoria” taverns.

Cinque Terre is a land of many sailors: God knows how many unbelievable stories have been told in the taverns through the narrow streets! There’s a famous story many people love to tell: the story of the “Bay of Poets monster”.
