Trattoria La Grotta in Riomaggiore – #GivingAFaceToCinqueTerre
⌛️ Trattoria La Grotta is a place in Riomaggiore that smells of history, family, and deep roots.
Right in the heart of the village, La Grotta has been open as a dining spot since 1873 and has been managed by the same family for over 50 years. Once the village doctor’s pantry, today it’s Trattoria La Grotta, a small corner of authenticity nestled among the alleys of the Cinque Terre. This space, even portrayed in the paintings of Telemaco Signorini, holds an ancient soul made of warmth and passion.
Vanessa is the one who keeps it alive with dedication. She is the guardian of a food tradition that doesn’t just repeat the past but reinterprets it with taste and care. The cuisine of Trattoria La Grotta is simple and honest. It draws inspiration from Ligurian recipes while always remaining open to the needs of curious travelers.
🍋 Local ingredients, nostalgic dishes, the scent of lemons and fresh pesto.
🍷 A wine selection that embraces the hills of the Cinque Terre and the best of the Mediterranean.
