"We found this place up on the hill by chance. Short uphill walk from city center montorosso. Beautiful setting with plenty of space. Olive trees , lemon trees , and of course grapes. You can just visit anytime and walk the grounds , get a lunch or bottle and relax. This is true working vineyard.... I can only imagine the amount of work that goes into making it as gorgeous as it is!
We had the set course dinner one land and one sea with the wine pairing. Both were plated nicely and aesthetically beautiful. The steak tartar was tender and nicely flavored and a generous size but the Parmesan cream seemed to lack the flavor I was expecting. The shrimp meets the scallop was cooked perfectly with an apple based sauce which complimented it well.
The first plate was amberjack ravioli full of flavor and the risotto tastey as well. The second was the poppy seed tuna which was delicious and seared perfectly. The veal cheek was delicious. Cooked beautifully with a sauce that went perfectly with potato puree and the tender turnip greens added that bite to pull it all together nicely. For me a great dish. All paired with their wines made on site. The desserts were tasty and a nice finish. A limoncelllo to finish. The setting and service were outstanding. They also offer tastings and rooms with breakfast. If you're in the cinque terre you should check this place out....you won't be disappointed."

"Beautiful property with so much potential. Walked up from the town, where we were staying. Amazing outdoor views of the vineyards. But it was a very odd evening. Staff were really young, inappropriate and immature. No one appeared to be in charge. A shame for the chef as food was quite good. They wouldn’t let us order the dishes listed for 2 people only. We don’t like the same things so was disappointing and didn’t seem like a big deal. Red wine was good but bottle served too warm. One server kept trying to speak French to me and was really annoying. Weirdest of all was when we were done, we were taken into a room /office and told to give them our credit card. I never saw a bill just told the total. At this point, we just wanted to clear out so paid it. Would love to know what the story is behind this very odd establishment …"

"We booked a table for lunch at 14:00 and were seated in a lovely spot overlooking the garden. The place was quiet at that time and the staff was friendly. We ordered cold cuts and cheese (€27), trenette with green beans, potatoes and pesto (€25), and braised veal cheek (€36), along with a glass of red and white wine (€8 each). The food was good - the Parma ham and veal excellent - but the cheese plate was a little underwhelming with only one type of cheese.

Overall, a very pleasant lunch. The only downside was at the end, when we were offered a “gift” of homemade Limoncello, which turned out to be added to the bill at €6 each. After pointing it out, the charge was removed after some arguing with the manager, but it left a slightly bittersweet impression. It also felt as if they were trying to hide it, since we were only given the total amount at first. I only noticed the additional €12 charge when I took the itemized receipt myself. In the end, the bill landed on €120, but the saddest part is that what could have been a wonderful lunch was dampened by this unpleasant detail"
