The dish that captured my heart and soul...trofie with freshly caught tuna. Out of our 8 days in coastal and urban Italy, I still think back to my time with Pirasca after a long hike and eating this wonderful dish for lunch with the view ahead. My wife and I were warmly welcomed as they were just about to open, and I couldn't praise this restaurant enough for maximising simplicity (and quality) in ingredients with love and passion. Grazie mille! Also, thanks for putting me on to the Peawees - great band 😎

We are here for my husbands birthday and out of every place we ate in all of Vernazza this was the best people and food. Ricardo (Ricky) was so personable, which is hard to find in such touristy areas, I get it. The food was out of this world, fish is caught fresh every morning. The view speaks for itself. Family owned restaurant! GET THE CHEESECAKE

Amazing place! Some of the most delicious food we have had in Italy. Lovely place, very nice people, and great views of the town also. We are so happy we found this gem. 💗

Lovely restaurant with an incredible view, situated overlooking Venazza. Looking at the restaurants around the area, the general consensus is pretty poor. This fish restaurant (noting they only serve fish) was great! We had the anchovies to start, I had the swordfish and my partner had the cattle fish, and we both thoroughly enjoyed. Service was great, we both got cold and they provided us with blankets. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a lovely meal and a great view.

We had a wonderful meal at Pirasca! The menu is primary seafood; very small and constantly changing depending on fresh catches that day. We had the octopus and seafood trofie for dinner and finished with the tiramisu. The food was delicious. The view is stunning. Definitely recommend sitting at the counter to have a beautiful view of the town and ocean. Wonderful service as well. Recommend making a reservation in person if able as it is a small place.

If you’re searching for delicious modern cuisine… this is the spot. They have a very small but constantly changing menu. Atmosphere is lovely, the food is superb, with a modern take on authentic Italian cuisine. On top of all that, it’s a lovely view from the top of the town. The owner and her daughter are very welcoming and they even have a guest house next door available for rent!

The food was fantastic, the only thing better was the view. We had the gnocchi in pesto which was incredible. One full week into eating pasta pretty much every day and I thought I was tired of it. This made me love pasta again. And then the swordfish nuggets..... They are the classiest version of fish and chips you've ever seen. Sooooooo good, the chips range in size from whispers to logs, the nuggets were deep fried and golden brown, hot and delicious. Even the greens served along side were fresh and tasty. Top marks. Delicious.

A wonderful little restaurant off the beaten path!! We had an incredible family meal. The view is spectacular overlooking the Vernazza harbour with the mountains in the background. The sunset is stunning. The view alone is worth the effort to get to the restaurant which is a small climb from the center of town. The food was great. We had the tuna steak, the shrimp gnocchi and the swordfish pasta. All were excellent! We showed up without a reservation and we were lucky to get a table. A wonderful experience for one of our last nights in Italy!!

We had lunch on a Sunday afternoon here. No wait. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. We had anchovies for appetizer and ordered the cuttlefish and pesto gnocchi for our meals. Everything was outstanding. Some of the best food we have had in Italy. The place is quiet above the crowds and the view is amazing. I wish we would have went here sooner in our visit so that we could come back again.

The food here was very good. It is the best we’ve had Italy so far. It’s a small place and you eat in the balcony. The price for food is reasonable for a tourist area but be warned, they charge a 50% cover charge that you don’t see until the bill shows up. So if you get $100 worth of meals then your bill is really $150. A cover charge is common here but 50% is pretty steep.
