BAR Centrale di Barberotti Alberto e Ronchieri

An inexpensive meal for two. We had the penne with tuna, the spaghetti with mussels, and the scallopini with lemon! The penne was our favorite; a nice touch of pepperoncini oil! The veal was also very tender and came with a side salad. The mussels were okay; but I could’ve made them at home. Wifi here is very good (compared to the rest if Cinque Terre) so charge up!

The staff was very friendly, and the food was very good. They serve things ranging from crepes to pasta and more, and it all comes out pretty fast. It was yummy and it’s open all day and most of the night. Just wished they took credit cards. When we needed an extra plate, the chef noticed and brought one without our asking. Finally, they have good, free WiFi for customers!

Great place! Went here by chance and if I am in riomaggiore, la guirea, Italy again, this is my first stop!

3* Bar Centrale
Via Colombo 144
Riomaggiore
Assortment of flavors; a little on the sweet side, but good

A small basic bar with a small selection of bottled beer. Had an easy drinking Forst premium and some free snacks to munch on.
I had heard that this bar was the hub of Riomaggiore. This might be the case in the summer when they have a large and pleasant sheltered external area. In colder weather they could only handle a quarter of the customers and the interior is not really the most attractive place to hang out. There is a small TV but there is no toilet seat. And the Wi-​fi didn’t work as also noted by a previous reviewer.

Arrived late for Anna Michielini (across the street), and Ivo assured me he would stay open long enough for us to get something to eat. There were a couple of other patrons in there, who also lingered a bit.
The pasta di pesto was a welcome dish after a long day of traveling up from Rome to include a 1.5 hour delay on the autostrada, a side trip to Pisa and a little bit of a struggle to get to the American base, Camp Darby. Spouse had the cannelloni and thought it good as well.
I greatly appreciated his hospitality!
The next morning, we had a cappuccino and caffe latte plus a pastry. The covered patio on the street was a nice place to relax with a morning caffe.
It advertises WiFi, but it seemed to be down for the couple of days we were there.

One of the FUNNEST times I’ve ever had! Ivo and his family run business are awesome! Pls drop my a line next time you come to San Francisco! XOXOXO
