Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Small restaurant located in San Terenzo, I suggest to reserve in advance. They are specialized in fish courses. The appetizers were exceptional (I suggest the 7 pieces appetizer). The pasta dishes are very tasty and full-flavored. The quality of fish is very high and you can feel it when you taste all dishes. Cakes are worthy. One little flaw: the fried mixed fishes were a bit greasy.

We had a great dinner here and loved the ambience of the place. It's like eating in a cave with all the old stonework.

We had a great dinner, some mussels, antipasti and we shared a gnocchi dish, 2 glasses of white wine and we paid 41 €! It is a great value in that area!
Great service that ended up in a cold limoncello!

I can't think about a better place to go to eat for someone who has to eat gluten free. I went twice during my stay.
Everything was gluten free, from starters to desserts, the care they take is impressive.
They explained us that it's a family business and most of the family is coeliacs.
I have loved trofie with pesto, fried polenta with cod and mixed grilled seafood. Simply amazing. Also the quality of the food was really good, they don't do frozen fish but only fresh. The chocolate cake was the best ever tried. Price was reasonable and service excellent.
I strongly recommend C'era una volta to all coeliacs and not only!

We went to this restaurant for dinner and we were sat outside in the courtyard so we could have a view of the sea, which was very romantic and we had a nice time people watching and chatting.
We ordered the assortment of appetisers which was a range of different fresh seafood dishes, my boyfriends favourite was the polenta chips with fish and my favourite was the seafood salad.
Then we shared a spaghetti Vongole for our main which was divine, super fresh ingredients. This restaurant also stock good wines- We had a delicious bottle of white wine from cinque Terre.
The staff are a lovely local couple who were very accommodating and made effort to make it a special occasion for us which we really appreciated! Grazie Mille!!!

Visited this charming little restaurant a year ago and I'm happy to say nothing has changed (except for the 'garden'!). It is still the same lovely little family run affair serving excellent food, mainly fish, and despite this I decided to commit a cardinal sin and try out the sirloin. It was perfectly cooked and delicious. The service is friendly and effecient, (the owner bears a strange resemblance to Giles Brandrith) and the prices extremely reasonable. But beware. If you're offered a table in the garden, there is no garden. It's on a patch of the square just around the corner, behind a screen!

We were 10 hikers, hungry, between hikes in Cinque Terre and we descended into this picturesque little square in Monterosso on the day of the Limone Festival ! We were greeted and accommodated beautifully. We all LOVED our Delicious food and would dine here again, in a heartbeat ! Our table enjoyed pasta's, bruschetta, prawns, calamari- all served in a beautiful presentation and were delightful to the palate!

What a find! A warm welcome and friendly staff. Excellent menu, mainly seafood but what's not to like? Their prawns in a creamy chick-pea sauce was excellent. The sea-food spaghetti (min 2 persons) was historic (and we've eaten a lot of spaghetti over the years).
Well worth the trip and reasonably priced.

So far the most enjoyable dinner of many during out stay in Lerici. Both the fish (Ricciola = greater amberjack) and steak were brilliant. Extremely friendly staff who coped with our lack of Italian admirably. Mainly a seafood restaurant but with two steak dishes on the menu. Good local wines and overall not too expensive.
Definitely on our list for a return visit.

I visited "c'era una Volta " in August to celebrate my friend bday! It was a proper girls night out and we decided to start with a real Italian dinner!
Seafood only! We were told that this restaurant cook fresh food everyday and the pasta was homemade!
So I was very curious to check if it was true, bare in mind that one of the girl is celiac, so she needs gluten free for only!
We called to confirm and they guarantee us that they cool al separately !
The dinner was amazing! We had several starter But my favourite one was : polenta fritta with baccalà mantecato "You have to try it! Follow by linguine seafood and an homemade cake!
Everything taste really fresh and it taste like my grandmother food!
Giuliano, the owner was taking care of us for the all dinner! There is also chance to eat outside but due high demand you have to book a couple of days before if you want a seat outside! I will def going back , and I will bring my boyfriend next time!
