Nessun Dorma
Using fresh locally sourced products, Nessun Dorma is at the top of my list. The food is delicious, atmosphere energetic, and the clifftop garden offers one of the most exquisite fews of Manarola. Take note they do not accept reservations. Recommendations: any dish with pesto, house white wine (vino bianco), and bruschetta.
L'Ancora della Tortuga
A quick five minute walk from the Monterosso Train Station, L'Ancora della Tortuga is a hidden gamed tucked away from the tourist crowds. The views are spectacular and food is simply delicious. Call ahead for a reservation and request a table outside. Recommendations: pesto lasagna, catch of the day, and homemade bread.
