We got the grilled seafood plate and the squids. It was really good and filling. The shrimps were amazing as well as the fish. The French fries were also great and it was a big portion. I would recommend this place.

Spent 2 days in this beautiful city and had walked past this place a few times. It always seemed like a “touristy” spot. Our last night here we decided to try it even though the past reviews were “bad”. The fried anchovies were absolutely delicious! Not too fishy, not too salty- a splash of lemon and the entire fish (minus tail of course) was perfect. We split the Mushroom Risotto (2 of us) as it’s recommended for 2+ people. We had MORE than enough and we ate ourselves into a coma. It was by the far the best risotto I’ve had in my life. The consistency, sauce, mushroom consistency and flavor- it was perfect. I do not know why this place has lower stars but it deserves a chance. Also, 1L of White House wine (tastes very good) was 15 Euro. Loved it!!!

A very nice restaurant in a great location. I've never had cod prepared this way, breaded with lemon. Very tender and juicy. The dumplings were also very tasty, although I would serve them sweet and retain their character, as it's an interesting menu item. I'd love to try other dishes from the menu someday.

A cosy atmosphere in the very heart of the town with an absolutely exquisite Sardine dish, marinated in what I can only assume is locally sourced lemons. I highly recommend the octopus as well.

I just had an incredible meal at Moretto. The fish ravioli with limoncello cream was absolutely amazing—a perfect blend of fresh flavors. It was flawlessly paired with a local Cinque Terre white wine. A must-try!

Wonderful lunch! We ordered seafood spaghetti and mixed grilled seafood (with fish). The charring smell of seafood tastes so Good! The charred squid and shrimp is definitely the Michelin 3 star quality, the charring smell with the fresh seafood taste and the perfect texture, all “bombs” in the mouth! Perfect cook! The spaghetti tastes so good, full of seafood taste, the dish tends to more savoury & little spicy, if add little more sour flavour from tomato, definitely perfect!

Great place, we had both lunch and dinner here. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. We had the most famous octopus potato salad and lemon cake among other tasty dishes. The staff was very helpful and provided me with a bag of ice for my damaged hand. Extremely grateful for that. We can highly recommend this restaurant if you want to have tasty dinner in a cozy environment.

I had the salmon pasta as what I initially wanted to order wasn’t available. We also had the pesto triofe which was probably the superior of the two pastas dishes. I thought it was a little strange it was an additional cost when I asked for some olive oil for the bread but perhaps because they also offer olive oil tastings and it was lost in translation
