Cinque Terre Restaurants
 

I have done a search and can find where to stay, but no restaurant recommendations. Anyone have a "musn't miss" list.

You MUST eat at Gambero Rosso in Vernazza and we also really liked Alta Marea in Monterosso.

try Il Grotto in Riomaggiore

In Vernazza, there is wonderful restaurant right on the harbor-El Capitano, I believe. The right side as you walk down toward the harbor. Get the fish stew-best meal of the trip.

Gambero Rosso was nice-Mom and I had a wonderful time. The owner/head waiter liked to dote on my mother.

We ate at the restaurant next to Gambero Rosso (if you're standing on the beach looking at the square, GR is at about 3:30 and the one we went to is at 1:30 or so), and had the best mussels I've ever tasted.

Keep them coming! I need them too! Portofino too!
