Well, that wasn't enough. There were 5 of us, and that food is simply too good to stop there. So what did we do? Immediately went back about 10 minutes later, of course! This time, plain focaccia, an apple tart and some more walnut tart. We were starting to become pretty friends with the people there at this point.
For lunch, had some of the well known pasta in the region, called trofie, at Al Carugio (Via San Pietro, 9), with tomato sauce and scampi. The pasta was fresh and chewy.
Stomachs full, we headed out into the rain and hopped on a boat to see Cinqueterre from the sea. The sky started opening up and within no time it was sunny again. We went back to Riomaggiore, and then to Vernazza for dinner (the photos on yesterday's post are from Vernazza). We ate at Gambero Rosso (Piazza Marconi, 7). The warm atmosphere and super friendly young waiter set the atmosphere for a perfect dinner. They brought us some fried bacala (salt cod) on the house to start! Light, crispy and salty.
For our meal, I had mixed grilled seafood, including fish, squid, and scampi. With just a little lemon - what could be better?
For dessert, some cake soaked in liquor with all the toppings. Yum!
