Bar Il Gabbiano

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.

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.

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!

Amazing views and the drinks! The fresh juice (lemon and orange mix) is amazing as well as their Aperol Paradise cocktail! So refreshing and delicious! To savour best with the views like these inside!

Great drinks with a great view! Would definitely recommend sitting here to relax during the walk. It’s half way, so a perfect moment.

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!

I was there early morning when the place was closed, the view was gorgeous, and the atmosphere in the evening should be super cozy as well. I was even considering climbing here one more in the evening (just kidding, after Cinque Terre I hate steep climbs 😂)
