Best Wine Bar food near Monterosso al Mare, Liguria, Italy
Find out what Wine Bar restaurants to try in Monterosso al Mare. The last of the five villages along the Cinque Terre strip, Monterosso al Mare is the most visited, largely because it has the only sizable sand beach and the biggest hotels. Though it can get very crowded with tourists during the peak summer months, Monterosso is still delightful. The old town area, separated from the more modern resort area by the Aurora tower, is home to the ruins of a medieval castle and San Francesco church, which houses an important Van Dyck painting of the crucifixion.

We were looking for a nice place to have a drink amidst the crowds of Vernazza. This winebar offers a small terrace, slightly elevated from street level. This way you are not exactly in the crowd but you see everyone passing by. The wines are excellent (yeah, we tried a few.. :) ) and the food we had was good too ! Nice place to sit down on a busy day!

We found this restaurant by following the main thoroughfare to the Corniglia viewpoint, and their outdoor seating is the southern part of the viewpoint terrace. You actually pass by the door on your way to the viewpoint. We got to the viewpoint and saw folks enjoying good looking food, and sat down. The service was great, and the food was as well. The view here is spectacular, if I had any complaints it would be the number of tourists flowing past at midday to enjoy the view making this spot a little less tranquil.

We sat at an outside table on a hot day enjoying a glass of wine. Quite reasonably priced and bought by the carafe. Good place to people watch as everyone passes here en route to/from the Old Town.

Excavated from the rocks, along the medieval walls, it's an elegant, open, exciting and unique location. In the heart of Vernazza. In front of you only the sea. We don't accept reservations. Only cash money. I will do my best to meet your wishes.

We stayed for two nights in Vernazza. We popped up to the Vernazza Winexperience both nights for an aperitif and a snack before going out for dinner. It would be worth the climb up the steps just to enjoy the million-dollar view. The wine offerings are the type of selections that DESERVE to be featured on a tasting menu. And the service is welcoming, affable, and laid back. We chose tasting No 1, a three-wine menu including a local white, a sparkling rose, and a red from a region close by. All of them were interesting and came with a wonderful presentation by our server. We also ordered the charcuterie and cheese board and the anchovies which were marinated in EVOO and oregano. The meat and cheese were nicely arranged and the anchovies were off-the-charts awesome. (Seriously, even if you don't like anchovies, try them here. They're so different from the salty buggers we yanks put on our pizzas.)We enjoyed our peaceful hour at this hypnotic location so much that we came back on our second night and ordered a couple of spritzes. These cocktails were well-balanced and made from high-quality Prosecco and natural liqueurs. There were not a lot of options for kids to drink but my 13 year old daughter enjoyed the view, the food, the wine presentations, and smelling the aromas of the wines. If you're in Vernazza, do NOT miss this hidden gem. It's an easy, relaxing way to start or end a night in Cinque Terre.

I visited MG bar for lunch with my husband and a friend while on vacation from North Carolina. The employees there were very warm and friendly. They even helped me practice my Italian! We had pizza and pasta with pesto. Both were delicious! Definitely worth visiting this bar!!

Stunning views from one of Monterosso's historic monuments. Small kitchen for lunches, dinners and aperitifs accompanied by excellent Cocktails and local wines.

Sitting high above the waterfront, this restaurant is the ideal location for a romantic dinner. The pastas dishes are innovative and very flavourful, and the lamb was unexpectedly amazing. My only knock on the restaurant is that the service, though very efficient, was not particularly friendly.

Each day, after exploring Cinque Terre, we would end up at this small Cantina to have brushetta and wine before going to dinner. It is a quaint wine shop that gives you exceptional service. Their house wine and bottled wines were very good and very reasonably priced. If you do order a bottle, they prepare some complementary snacks to eat with your wine. They also have a selection of different bruschetta that you can order. This was one of our favorite places to hang out in Monterosso.

We went to this bar every evening. It has some outside tables, some in. Mary will get you to sit at any vacant seats outside with people you don't know and it's up to you if you strike up conversation, Mary is great at making you feel welcome and it's a wonderful setting. Best atmosphere, love it!!!
