Gourmet products local specialties and wines CINQUE TERRE

A selection of quality wines, from large labels to wines from small local producers. Outside, a pleasant terrace lends itself to a drink as an aperitif, accompanied by cheese and sausage boards. You can also buy the famous anchovies from Monterosso there!

A very good ice cream parlour nestled in the hills above Corniglia. Star flavors include ricotta and fig, honey and walnut, and the surprisingly delicious basil. The ice creams are certified 100% artisanal. For the rest of us, there are crêpes and smoothies. Just try it and you'll agree with the general opinion: this is one of the best ice cream parlors in Italy! Generous, smiling service. At the back is a pleasant terrace surrounded by greenery, where you can admire an ancient stone vault. From here, wifi connection available.

Since 1999, a good address on Vernazza's main shopping street. The narrowness of the space means that you soon come face to face with the flavors. The ice creams are handcrafted using organic ingredients (milk and panna). House specialties include ricotta-figus, Vernazza cream (made with vanilla, white chocolate, mascarpone and wild berries) and Cinque Terre cream, which we leave to you to taste! Other stores can be found in La Spezia (Corso Cavour and Piazza Verdi).

Dream bakery! Here's the ideal spotto indulge your sweet tooth and bite into a creamy focaccia drenched in olive oil, right on the seafront in Monterosso. For it's their focaccias in particular that have made their reputation, so divine are they... Pizzas are also served in the evening. You can either take your picnic and sit a few meters away, facing the sea, or simply take advantage of the small tables provided. In short, this isn't just any bakery...

In the historical centre, a stone's throw from the church of San Giovanni Battista, a small enoteca well known to regulars and tourists passing through. You can settle in to taste and get to know the Cinque Terre nectars, guaranteed by local production. For example, taste the Eliseo red wine that gave its name to this charming bistro

This local pastry institution is not extraordinary at first sight, but since the 1950s it has been known in the area for its torta monterossina, prepared with chocolate, cream and apricot jam... Trust us, it's worth a visit.

Small trade offering a good selection of labels carefully selected among small local producers, as well as a good choice of gastronomic products and preserves of the Cinque Terre.

Opened in the summer of 2017, this grocery store (which also sells souvenirs) is located inside an old renovated building. It is worth a detour just for its vaults and stone walls. The choice of wines, pesto, pasta, etc., is impressive, but the prices remain more expensive than elsewhere.

Beware of appearances, Manarola's small convenience store sells delicious focaccia, as well as excellent regional products. At the back of the store, don't hesitate to ask for some slices of raw or white ham, or pieces of local cheese to stuff your sandwich before attacking the hiking trails! Of course the prices are quite high, but the small shop has the monopoly in Manarola! It's a pity, however, that despite the success and the tourists, the friendliness of the owner is not always there.
