Bar Il Gabbiano

Great place to stop after your hike up the hill. Its the halfway point and they have lovely fresh cold beverages and a washroom.

We loved stopping here on our hike from Vernazza to Corniglia. It was a 30 minute walk from Vernazza. It is a perfect halfway point and the view was incredible! The cappuccinos were great along with the lemon cake. It's worth the walk up to this place. I recommend going in the morning before it gets busy. We arrived at 8:30am and had the whole place to ourselves.

What an incredibly marvelous place! Midway through our hike from Corniglia to Vernazza, my wife and I had a lemon slushie, a lemon/orange juice and fresh fruit. Drinks were made from fresh-squeezed fruit. These were so incredibly tasty!!! They truly hit the spot on a hot day after an uphill climb. Also a must have is the watermelon pieces with mint and lemon juice. The view? Well - the photos will show it's completely breathtaking!

Gorgeous view the loveliest staff and fresh squeezed lemon and orange slushy with dress watermelon. Greatly appreciated tasted amazing

Great place to have a break half way through the trail, the terrace has wonderful views of the ocean and surrounding cliffs. The lemon granita and the lemon and orange granita were both delicious. The drinks are a little pricey given their small size but I guess that’s that cost of the incredible location.

We had slushy and a smoothie. Both were nice and very refreshing mid-hike. We really appreciate the effort of getting all the ingredients to this wonderful location! Most beautiful place to have a rest and enjoy the view!

If you’re hiking between the C5 towns and are heading to Vernazza from the east, this is the BEST place to stop for a refreshment. Because of the location, the only way to access is on foot, including for those bringing produce in and out, which we thought was amazing. The views are exquisite, and the lemon/orange slush granita is delicious. They have several options including alcohol additions which would be very fun near the end of the hike!

An absolute GEM! 💎 A great pitstop for hikers, serving slushies, smoothies, aperitif and food. Sit on the terrace to get the best views of the coast. We hiked from Corniglia to Vernazza, and this place is about 1/2 way between them both. This is one of the rare places where you see only hikers and no joe-public - thus pretty quiet! Order the Orange and local Lemon slushie (available with or without alcohol) for a refreshing treat.
