Il Gabbiano - Monterosso Al Mare

It is an idyllic place. The possibility of dining with those views of the sea was wonderful. The waiters were very nice, but the food was even better. If we return we will repeat without a doubt Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We had the pasta scampi and grilled beef. Loved the flavour of the scampi pasta and the sweet pickled onions went beautifully with the beef and potatoes. We also had a mixed salad. Waitress was welcoming friendly and efficient. Decor is homely and casual. There's a few more dishes on the menu that I think we'll be back to try. Update on second visit. On our last night in Monterosso we decided to have dinner here again. This time we had prosciutto with melon, the fried mixed sea food and pasta with pesto potatoes and beans. The crispy prawns, calamari and octopus dish of seafood was particularly delish. The pesto pasta was also delightful. And what impressed me was my teacup came heated and the pot was a generous size. And yes staff remembered us. I've just bumped up the Star rating. Kid-friendliness: Child friendly. I also spotted a high chair in the corner.

Food is mediocre at best. Nothing special. Waitress was welcoming. But since im chef and know how good restaurants works its not that. Its tourist restaurant. Allways will come new tourists and they dont care and dont need to be bether. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €10–20 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2

Service was nice, but nothing out of the ordinary. Food was lacking one ingredient, flavor. Typical European nickel and diming you for everything. Charged us for olive oil charged for balsamic. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €20–30 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

This was the Italian pasta we were searching for our whole trip! WOWOW. The flavoring on both pastas was incredible, we ate a lot of pasta in Italy but this was by far our favorite! And paring that with the view that we had, it couldn't get any better. We will be coming back, highly highly recommended! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
