What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
This Monterosso restaurant is praised for its delicious food, especially its pizzas and abundant seafood dishes, and its charming outdoor dining setting with sea views. While many commend the friendly service and unique dishes, some diners note the addition of a 'coperto' charge and find certain salads disappointing for the price.
"Great food, great setting and great service--I'm really surprised this restaurant doesn't get a higher rating! I dined here upon the recommendation of my hotel receptionist, and I'm so happy I did, because it turned out to be one of my favorite restaurants in Monterosso (and the only restaurant I visited more than once during my five days there). All the dishes I ordered were beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked. The seared prawns and mini polenta cakes in avocado lemon sauce featured a very creative and successful pairing of ingredients. I've tried many different versions of squid ink pasta in Venice and Sicily, but the one at Lapo's, with zucchini and croutons, was unique and incredibly delicious. The stuffed squid with foccacia was also by far the best stuffed squid I've ever had. I look forward to returning to Lapo's upon my next visit to Monterosso!"

"This place was great! Don't let the one star reviews fool you. Our server was so kind and patient with us Americans, the service was fast, and we got a free limoncello at the end! We had a party of four, and we all got different things from the menu and dessert menu, so we all got to try lots of things and everything was delicious. I'm convinced that you could order any meal or dessert from the menu and be very happy with it."

"Beautiful location with outside seating on a terraced patio. The food was actually good too.
I ordered the Margherita Pizza and thought the flavors were quite good. The crust is crispy and fresh, the tomato sauce is thin and full of flavor, the cheese is amazing. Overall, great pizza.
My partner ordered the Fergina Salad and was not impressed. The Fergina is a green salad with carrots, balsamic vinegar, fennel, green apple and walnuts. The green salad part is mostly arugula and red cabbage, there was no green apple in the salad and maybe 3-4 pieces of walnut. Not impressed for the price.
They offer their own bottled olive oil for the salad and the pizza which has a very light flavor compared to some other restaurants in Monterosso.
Overall, not a bad meal, love sitting outside on the terrace. Service was fine."
