Fuori Rotta

Riomaggiore


Set on a hillside lane, the friendly Fuori Rotta makes a fine escape from the busier spots by the harbour. Here you can sit at outdoor tables overlooking the rooftops of Riomaggiore while enjoying refreshing spritzes and tasty snacks and sharing platters (full meals also available). In the morning, this is an unbeatable spot for a cappuccino and a pastry.
