Best Wine Bar food near Vernazza, Liguria, Italy
Discover Restaurants offering the best Wine Bar food in Vernazza, Liguria, Italy. With Cinque Terre’s only proper harbor, Vernazza has a long history as a fishing village. While there is a small beach, sightseeing is more common in this astoundingly beautiful cliffside town. Highlights include the 16th-century Belforte Tower (which offers incredible views of the area), the 11th-century Doria Castle and the 14th-century Santa Margherita d'Antiochia church. It involves a steep hike, but the shrine at Nostra Signora Di Reggio (Our Lady of Reggio) is well worth it.

Ok experience, if you go early on in the night you'll have no wait time. Food was good for the price it cost, but would not revisit a second time.

Located in a panoramic sea view terrace, La Scuna offers local wine, draft beer, typical food for your relaxing time in Corniglia, in the heart of Cinque Terre.
Reviewed By Mickpamg
Spending a hot day exploring the Cinque Terre we find ourselves in Corniglia at lunch time. After checking several menus we decide on La Scuna as much for the view as anything else. It's popular, the waiter said he will have a nice table for us in 5 minutes and he didn't disappoint. The beer and wine was served ice col, perfect. We ordered the mixed anti-pasto plate to share as Corniglia is famous for its anchovies (best pickled anchovies). Anyway the mixture of cold local meats and seafood was a fabulous slow meal on a hot summer afternoon. Can definitely recommend.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.
