Ristorante La Torre

This place was recommended by our Airbnb host, and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed a beautiful sunset on our walk to the restaurant and caught the last of it right from our table. I had the Trofie al Pesto con Patate e Fagiolini, which was bursting with flavor, while my boyfriend had one of their fish pastas in marinara sauce, good, though it felt like it was missing a little something. The oysters here were our absolute favorite out of all the places we’ve tried! Must try the cinque terre white wine that's in my pictures! Best white wine I've had! Do note that the climb to the restaurant is quite steep and not accessible for those in wheelchairs, as there are many stairs leading up. The walk up might make you sweat a little, but the views, food, and atmosphere make it totally worth it. Highly recommend checking this spot out!

We had a fantastic evening together! We started by sharing a mixed seafood antipasto, which was delicious. I then had the lobster pasta – the flavor was absolutely amazing! – while my husband chose the grilled octopus. The only small remark is that the portions were so tasty we wished there had been just a little more (his octopus came with only three legs; with it being a secondi, four or five would have been perfect). Still, everything was cooked beautifully, and the view over Vernazza was simply breathtaking. Definitely worth a visit, even with the short hike up!

We visited Restaurant La Torre twice during our 2-night stay in Vernazza, and it was fantastic both times. The food was excellent—we tried different main courses and desserts, and everything was delicious. The location is stunning, perched on a hill with panoramic views of the town and sea. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommended, and we’d love to return someday!

Went after hiking from Corniglia This restaurant had Beautiful views and great food But the service was Not Friendly at all. They were not busy maybe only 5-6 tables full and you couldn’t get anyone to help you or wait on you once you were seated. Octopus was perfectly done, nice job to the chef! Fried seafood mix was also delicious!

This is an amazing place. It’s a hidden gym. You find it when you start hiking from Vernazza towards Corneglia. The atmosphere is amazing with beautiful view to the sunset. The staff is very friendly and the service is excellent. Food tastes excellent. I think they deserve a Michelin star.

Worth the climb! It's a difficult walk and the signs in town are a lie it's more then 6 minutes of hiking but otherwise amazing. Beautiful location especially at sunset with a view of vernezza. Delicious food and wonderful wait staff. The cheeses are excellent and everything is handmade and delicious. Highly recommend

I’ll definitely come back here again! I can’t forget the food, the vibe, the breeze—everything.👍 I tried the “Polpo,” and I still can’t forget the taste. The octopus was tender, and I think the sauce was made with lemon. It was amazing—I almost licked the plate clean 😍 The staff was also great. They worked quickly, so I didn’t have to wait long, which is rare in Italy where waiting at restaurants is usually unavoidable.😂

This place was pretty cool. It was a neat hike up the mountain, not too terribly hard but will make you a little out of breath. Only like 10 minutes uphill and lots of steps. Gave a good view point though. The restaurant has great view of the ocean and if you’re lucky over the town as well. This was a small complaint of ours though as there were open tables with really great views they didn’t seat the whole time we were there even with our reservation. These saw the town and ocean while we couldn’t see the town where we were. Still beautiful though. We ordered the baked fish and the lobster pasta. Both were good but not amazing. The baked fish was flounder and the waitress deboned it table side which was cool. It was very tender and great but lacked flavor. After deboning it was just unseasoned fillets of flounder. The lobster pasta was good but most of the lobster shells were heads or empty so it ended up not being too much meat. For dessert the cornucopia and it was one of the best desserts we had in Italy. So good. Again these were good but not overly great. No reservation is needed when we went in end of May. Quite a few open tables. Overall a good experience with the location.
