"Ristorante la terrazza is 5 stars restaurant in a 4 stars hotel. Sitting on the cliff right next to the centro historico of monterosso al mare with a magnificient view over the small city and 2 of its beaches. Food was absolutely scrumptious and the staff are very nice and friendly. I’ll let the photos tell you the rest"

"Easily my favorite restaurant in Monterosso. The view is absolutely insane, best in all of the 5 cities I think. The service is truly 5 stars (should out to Gers who did a phenomenal job accommodating me for both lunch and dinner), and the food is delicious. Top notch spot, don’t miss it if you’re here in town. The prices are a little higher than other places, but for a reason… and it’s absolutely worth it."

"What a wonderful location. The amazing view of Monterosso coupled with elegant dishes makes for an unforgettable evening. Our family made the trek up the hill and were promptly seated on the balcony. We had the grilled octopus on lobster bisque, grilled sea bass, pesto pasta and paccheri with tuna. Everything cooked to perfection, then followed by homemade desserts."

"This is perhaps one of my favorite restaurants of all my 50 years of fine dining. The service impeccable,the food is just as good now as it was 25 years ago and the space, environment and view. We are here for 4 nights and so far have enjoyed the spaghetti with seafood, the buttone Bouillabaisse, the wonderfully sublime anchovies and grilled bream. The desserts are delish, with local herbal and lemon accents and all offered for a reasonable spend! Cheers to the wonderful staff."
