Io e il mio compagno siamo stati in questo posto di passaggio a Vernazza in seguito a consigli da parte di amici, pertanto abbiamo provveduto a prenotare. Appena arrivati abbiamo ricevuto un'accoglienza gentile sia da parte dello staff dei camerieri che dal pasticciere, sempre in prima linea nell'approcciarsi ai clienti, pronto a soddisfarne le esigenze. Le pietanze a base di mare hanno richiamato già al primo assaggio  i sapori tipici della cucina meridionale (specifico che io sono di Napoli!): i sapori si sposavano in un modo così perfetto che ogni boccone era una gioia per i sensi. Dopodichè abbiamo proceduto col dessert: un tiramisù molto delicato e un cannolo siciliano col pistacchio degno del  suo nome. La ricotta  era fresca e il pistacchio sublime. D'altronde chi ha fatto i dolci é proprio originario della patria siciliana, e si sentiva tutto l'amore che ha messo per portare la sua cucina qui al Nord. In conclusione  consiglio questo posto a tutti coloro che desiderano mangiare bene gustandosi un pranzo o una cena degni di nota con un rapporto qualità/prezzo ottimo, senza dare peso alla location.

Colazione buonissima Consiglio spremuta con frutta mista e cornetto per iniziare al meglio la vostra giornata

Siamo stati durante il nostro soggiorno a Vernazza, abbiamo scelto di cenare in questo ottimo ristorante, sotto consiglio dello chef abbiamo preso degli ottimi piatti (vedi foto). Ottima esperienza, siamo ritornati l'indomani per la colazione ed anche questa impeccabile! Consiglio Il Pirata delle 5 terre, da provare assolutamente!! Avola e Noto

Linguine ai frutti di mare buonissime e dolci meravigliosi: cannolo siciliano con crema di ricotta e pistacchio e panna cotta con la frutta. Accogliente e per il proprietario sei sempre una "gioia" Super consigliato

Ottimi panini con pane tipo schiacciata, ben farciti con ingredienti di qualità. Abbiamo gradito l’ospitalità del titolare, tutta siciliana, alle cinque terre. Torneremo per provare anche i cannoli, il titolare ci ha offerto un assaggio insieme alla loro granita al caffè, tutto ottimo. Prezzo giusto, grazie

Sì trova sotto l'hotel nel quale ho alloggiato. Ottimi prezzi per paste fatte in casa. Spettacolare! Le creme che si possono mettere nel croissant sono ottime, ho assaggiato quella al pistacchio una delizia! Offrono anche il succo speciale del pirata, anch'esso ottimo e rinfrescante! I prezzi sono agibili per tutti. Camerieri simpatici con molta energia! Grazie mille per quest'esperienza e le colazioni ottime mangiate!

Cibo molto buono! Siamo stati una serata a Vernazza e abbiamo scelto di cenare qui, titolari vivaci e accoglienti, ti indirizzano nella scelta. Specializzati in dolci siciliani, il mattino dopo siamo andati a fare colazione, favolosa!!!!

Cornetti assolutamente favolosi! Anche il cappuccino era buono. Il proprietario è stato molto gentile. Ho visto che fanno anche il servizio ristorante, ma non posso esprimermi su quello, non avendone usufruito

Cibo di ottima qualità, cucinato bene dai sapori indimenticabili. I dolci con la ricotta fenomenali. I proprietari simpaticissimi e alla mano, il personale ai tavoli gentile ed efficiente. Una esperienza da ripetere sicuramente.

La sicilia a Vernazza. Tutto buonissimo sia per cena che per colazione. Proprietaria simpatici e pronti a consigliarti i migliori piatti! Pesce freschissimo prezzi onesti qualità prezzo

Locale semplice ma elegante in posizione leggermente distaccata dal centro di Vernazza, ideale per chi vuole staccarsi dal trambusto della via centrale e dei suoi molteplici locali. Entrati con l’intenzione di prendere qualcosa di veloce ed economico, siamo stati convinti dal padrone di casa a ordinare un branzino e una CALAMARATA, ovvero paccheri con vongole e calamari...piatti entrambi freschi e gustosissimi! Consigliato come tappa per un pranzo veloce ma di spessore, in un clima di tranquillità rispetto al contesto generale. Prezzi nella media.

Le chef cuisinier et les serveuses nous on donner un service parfait. L’ambiance du restaurant et des gens qu’il y travail rajoute encore plus à la beauté de l’endroit. Le sandwich vernazza étais excellant et très bien garnis. La surprise reste par exemple les cannolis qui son les meilleurs que j’aille jamais manger. A essayer si vous voulez un classique italien! Lo chef e le cameriere ci hanno offerto un servizio impeccabile. L'atmosfera del ristorante e le persone che ci lavorano esaltano ulteriormente la bellezza del posto. Il panino Vernazza era eccellente e molto ben farcito. La sorpresa, ad esempio, sono stati i cannoli, i migliori che abbia mai mangiato. Da provare assolutamente se cercate un classico italiano!

Locale tranquillo poco fuori dal centro. Assolutamente da provare cannolo, granite e specialità siciliane. Personale cortese , proprietario simpatico e disponibile. Una piacevole scoperta alle 5 Terre!

Al servizio ho dato cinque ma è troppo poco! Se potessi darei molto di più, stessa cosa al cibo: eccezionale. Personale meraviglioso, parlano almeno 3 lingue e sono super gentili, prima di scegliere la colazione ci hanno fatto assaggiare il ripieno per le brioche e le granite a caffè e fragola. Tornerò sicuramente

This was a great dining experience in Vernazza. Although this popular spot is located away from the main town drag, it was absolutely worth walking uphill to reach it. We came specifically to try classic Ligurian pesto. We ordered the local classic, trofie al pesto, and pesto lasagna. Both dishes were excellent. The pesto was made fresh and it was delicious. We enjoyed the dishes so much we wished we could have ordered a second plate. Admittedly, the setting isn't the most scenic (the restaurant faces a parking lot), but the friendly, attentive service and the quality of the food more than make up for it. Highly recommended!

Zach Mort

Best breakfast and lunch in Vernazza and it’s not even close. Their pistachio cannoli is the best I’ve ever had. Quality service and very kind people. Go here, you won’t regret it.

Wanderer

One of our favourite places we found on our tour of Italy. Unmatched customer service and amazing food. We went back the next day too. I wish it was open later! We really hope we get to visit again, this is the top of the list to come back to. If you're in 5 terre, definitely stop here If you can't decide what to have, ask for whatever they recommend

Kevin Westergaard

Chef and servers were all very polite and warm, got a free pastry from the chef after we had some discussion 🫶🏼 Best focaccia in Vernazza

Brianna McShea

Chef Max was welcoming and knowledgeable. They make scrambled eggs to order with many options for additions. They are very accommodating to what you want unlike many other places. I highly recommended the croissant with mortadella and mozzarella as well!

Lara Hildebrand

Owners are super kind and happy to explain all the pastries, they speak English and ask for allergies right off the bat. Croissant with cream and strawberries was fantastic. Scrambled eggs and bacon was perfect as well before our hike!

Alexandra H

The most friendly and accommodating staff. Gave great suggestions on what to order. Delicious and freshly made pastries to order. Best cannoli I’ve ever had!!! Will think about this forever!

Irina Fouquet

Best food and peaceful location! A few steps after the train station, away from the crazy tourist crowds in Vernazza you will find an amazing spot for breakfast, snacks or a special sweet treat! These Granitas were an absolute hit with real ingredients and fresh fruits, no added flavours - we could have eaten dozens of them! The people were also extremely warm and welcoming, very fair prices! A definite must when in Vernazza!!

Merve A.

Great location! Just steps from the train station, with convenient parking if you’re driving. It’s a bit of a walk away from the center, but totally worth it — the staff are super friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable for the area.

Cassie Branstrom

My husband and I ate breakfast here multiple times. We had eggs with ham and roasted pork (delicious!), large cappuccino, and amazing pastries! The staff was joyful, helpful and friendly. Certainly the most welcoming place we visited in Cinque Terre. Price was great too.

Lesley Calhoun

BEST pizza and canoli I've ever had! And the restaurant is a little removed from the hustle and bustle of Vernazza, so it made for a better experience. Not on the menu is a Limoncello spritz, but they will make it for you. EAT HERE!

Irene

Hands down the best pesto pasta and cannoli in Cinque Terre. I’ve never been a big cannoli fan, but the one here was incredibly well made so it was hard not to love or devour in seconds!! A must try if you visit.

SteakEm All

Delicious pastries. Breakfast here was yummy simple scrambled eggs w spicy salami and mortadella. Great friendly service and good coffee.

María Belén Cano

Great food and excellent prices! We had a quick lunch here, and it was perfect. Not only was the food super tasty, but the staff were friendly and the place was quiet, which isn't easy to find in the whole Cinque Terre Park. One thing I loved was that the staff talked to us in Spanish, which was awesome and rare to find here. Even though it's a little far from the most touristy area, it's worth coming here. Also, there's a parking lot around the corner, which could be very useful if you're coming by car

Karen Berndt

Pick and choose pasta &sauce. I got ravioli and walnut cream sauce. Wonderful and fresh, with great filling. Having read the reviews about the panna cotta and because the strawberries ordered by the next table (in a cannoli) looked ripe and juicy, I had to try it. It was drizzled with chocolate and scattered with tiny chocolate chips. Lovely combination. Just as a personal note, I would love to just have the chocolate sauce, the crunchy chips distracted from the silky texture but that doesn’t make it less delicious

Yvonne Battista

Just a short walk up from the train station you will find the best panna cotta and light and fluffy pizzas. We had heavenly light gnocchi with pesto and freshly squeezed blood orange juice. This gem is not to be missed! Max and his twin brother are very welcoming and have a great sense of humour.

Il Pirata delle 5 Terre had the most amazing Italian food I've ever had! The Chef came out personally and made the most beautiful and delicious plates, just for us. The staff was wonderful too. They made us feel like family. 🐠 🌊🤍

Xenia Ramos

I highly recommend making reservations at Il Pirata delle 5 Terre. Despite not offering scenic views, the food, service, ambiance, and desserts surpass those of the waterfront restaurants. This establishment truly deserves 5 stars, offering unbeatable pricing. As someone who usually struggles to finish all courses, thoroughly enjoying my appetizer, main course, dessert, and coffee speaks volumes. My husband and I couldn't stop praising our dining experience; in fact, we returned for both breakfast and lunch! The personalized recommendations and time spent with the chef and staff made our visits truly unforgettable. Among all the restaurants we tried throughout our trip to Rome, this was hands down the best. Additionally, if you're visiting during peak season, be sure to book your reservations in advance.

Pinza eccezionale fatta sul momento… per il resto poca scelta nel menù. Prezzi nella norma in un locale accogliente e alla mano. Lunga e impervia la strada per arrivare fino a qui

Abbiamo fatto colazione qui e siamo rimasti abbastanza soddisfatti. Le brioches erano molto fresche, buone e abbondantemente farcite. La scelta molto vasta. I prezzi erano però eccessivamente alti: 2,50 euro a brioche e 4 euro per una spremuta sono veramente elevati! Considerando anche la posizione marginale del locale.

Ottima esperienza.. cibo ottimo e personale conviviale. Buona qualità prezzo. Unica pecca tavoli troppo vicini e non ti fanno assaggiare il vino prima di versatelo. In generale Consigliatissimo, spt il titolare che passa tra i tavoli e conversa con i clienti facendoli provare assaggi di piatti.

Ci siamo trovati molto bene in questo ristornate La pasta con i paccheri vongole e calamari era molto buona, così come anche la pasta allo scoglio Il menu proponeva diversi dolci siciliani e noi abbiamo preso il cannolo ricotta e pistacchio, davvero squisito Servizio cordiale, conto un po’ sopra la media però in linea con le materie prime

John Clemence Pinlac

One very tasty place to dine in Vernazza. They serve different versions of pesto dishes that one can try. They are very good and highly recommended. Their service personnel is very fun, accommodating, and quirky too. One very minor comment is the view of the parking and the zooming vehicles beside the diners, but their food is reasonably priced, compared to the dining places by tourist center.

Mihai Popescu

- Dissapointed by the food presentation, it does not look good. These were lasagnas in the pictures - Location it was right near the parking lot, gas smelly and noisy + staff was ok + food tastes ok

Troppo aglio ovunque. Ho ordinato antipasto , primo e secondo e in tutti e tre l’unico sapore che ho sentito era l’aglio. Servizio scarso : abbiamo prenotato ad un certo orario e ci hanno fatto accomodare dopo più di mezz’ora. Va bene che siamo in vacanza ma se prenoto è perché voglio essere sicura di sedermi per cenare appena arrivo. Conto decisamente troppo alto rispetto alla qualità dei piatti.

Ci siamo recati in questo ristorante perché aveva delle buone recensioni. Purtroppo non abbiamo riscontrato quello che ci aspettavamo! Il cibo non era buono e non sembrava preparato con cura. Le porzioni troppo piccole! Unica nota positiva sono state le cameriere, molto efficienti e gentili.
