Miky

There’s no reason this place shouldn’t have at least one Michelin star. They’re already on the Michelin guide and they certainly deserve it. Gorgeous plating, innovative and fresh ingredients sourced locally, attentive service, beautiful locale. We left absolutely stuffed after several delicious courses of local fish from the anchovies to the sea bass to the tuna. We loved everything!

Monterosso al Mare is one of the most picturesque towns in all of Italy and remains one of my favourite destinations in the entire world. Blog extract: “This “Italian Rivieria” is a must for all romantics and any individual that has an appreciation for the art of simplicity, with a touch of style, that oozes character and unrivalled wonder.”

Miky is a must restaurant when you are next in Monterosso Al Mare. The food is divine, the staff are brilliant and the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed meal with great company and beautiful views.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Miky restaurant in Monterosso, Italy and it was an experience that I will never forget. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the incredible location. Overlooking the ocean, the views were absolutely stunning and provided the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable dining experience.

The staff at Miky were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I walked in the door. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable.

But the real star of the show was the food. The sardine dishes were out of this world - perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. It was clear that the chefs at Miky take great pride in their work and are passionate about creating delicious dishes using the freshest ingredients.

Overall, I cannot recommend Miky restaurant highly enough. It truly is a five-star dining experience, with incredible food, friendly staff and a location that will take your breath away. If you find yourself in Montarossa, be sure to make a reservation - you won't regret it!

Exquisitely executed dishes. Highly recommend one of the chef’s tasting menus. You will not be disappointed. We left absolutely stuffed with an incredible array of foods. Each one had wonderful flavor and presentation. The staff was brilliant and very attentive attentive, thoroughly explaining each culinary stop. A world class experience all in all. One of the best meals we’ve ever had. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the outstanding wine list as well. We had some locally made red wine and it was a treat. This may be the best restaurant in Cinque Terre - I think that it is. Kudos all around.

If you are staying in Monterosso, you really should treat yourself to dinner here. Service, food, ambience are all top notch. A little more pricey than other spots, but well worth it for a special evening. We lingered over a truly wonderful dining experience. Servers are friendly and helpful. Make reservations as it fills up! I especially liked the fact that they had an Amaro named after me. :-)

Had a nice, long and delicious lunch here. Great food, service, outdoor people watching and view of the water. Reasonably priced for a great experience.

Had a great dinner here, food was really great and I was surprise how easy it was to make a reservation through email and had a nice view of the water (would recommend asking for seating outside). The quality of the food was exceptional - we tried their pesto pasta and fried fish, including the anchovies and they were amazing.

Such great food & service that went above and beyond
Please please do ignore the one previous review from the American family
They were completely rude, made a very loud scene in front of everyone, tried to get a free meal and were super misogynistic towards the owner(?). Literally every single person was talking about how rude they were after they left.
The staff were so kind to go table to table and apologize.
Besides the scene, we had a great evening with good well prepared food and treats, I highly recommend

Note to non Europeans: Italians are super serious about the food they make, it’s no joke. The waiters are too. These are not some student jobs to pass the time. They take it seriously. Be respectful.

We visited Miky's on the suggestion of our driver who is a frequent visitor himself to Monterosso. We were not disappointed. We did not have reservations, but they were able to fit our party of two in on a Sunday evening. They were turning larger groups away. Reservations are a must, especially for parties larger than two. We started with a few hors d'oeuvres, which were served on hot rocks, we then shared the anchovy sampler that consisted of local anchovies prepared 5 different ways. (the anchovies in Monterosso are much better than those that come out of a can at home) For our next course. my girlfriend had the Turbo Fish with Trumbell zucchini, toasted almonds and courgetti flower. I had the deep fried combination of baby squid, red mullet, anchovies, pink prawns, and vegetables breaded in Simola. We loved everything.

It's probably the best restaurant in Cinque Terre I've been to. Pasta with anchovies was spectacular! It's a must for fish pasta lovers! Octopus was great too. Ravioli with ricotta was just good. What I loved was small dishes served before first dish, main dish and dessert. To finish, they've bringed home made limoncello 👌 the only thing I would do differently is tiramisu - I like it more alcohol flavoured and more wet insite. However it's a matter of taste. Well done!✔

The best dinner we had in Cinque Terre and one of the best we had for a long time. The place is very beautiful, service is great and food is delicious and very creative.

Highly recommend getting a reservation here and dining. I probably had the best pesto pasta of my life here, no exaggerations. Everything was fresh and flavourful cooked to perfection, from entrée to pasta to desserts. 10/10 for food & hospitality.

We happened across Miky late this afternoon. What a treat. Fine dining lunch extraordinaire! Had the anchovies, fish of the day and tuna. Desert to die for. Very very nice.

Everything was great! The staff are all very friendly and the food was delicious. Unique flavours and interesting dishes. We had the gluten free pasta with pesto and the beef cheek which was outstanding. My only feedback would be to add more gluten free desserts to the menu, that would make it even better!

This restaurant was amazing!! I had the best duck breast in my life at this place. The wine is also very good. The waiter was great and spoke very good English. It is a little pricey but it’s well worth it. I would recommend to anyone that is in the area. My wife and I will be coming back.

Great service. Great food. One of the dishes was a seafood platter, which in itself does not sound exciting but they had added acidic and sweet flavours to accompany the fish which made it interesting. A fine dining alternative to their Cantina. The tuna dish was a tad bit salty for my palate. Maybe it is how its cooked here. They allowed us to share the starter (ravioli) and served it on two plates which we thought was very considerate!

Best meal we had in Monterosso. Great food and very attentive wait staff. 😀

A highlight of our trip, from Ruggero our waiter to the owners’ greeting. The salt encrusted whole fish of the day was the best we’ve ever had, the wine choice lovely and topped off with an amazing dessert sampler.

We really appreciated how this restaurant has taken local Ligurian dishes and tried to elevate them to fine dining. We tried the 'Innovation Tasting Menu' which was certainly modern and mostly delicious. Even when we didn't love a dish we certainly appreciated what they were trying to do with it.

For any foody passing through Monterosso, I would say this is a mandatory stop.

The best restaurant in Italy! We were in Rome, Florence and some little resorts always looking for special Italian cuisine. And we found everything in Miky restaurant! Exceptional food, beautiful presentation, when we tried one of the specialities for the first time ( don’t remember the name but I’ll add a picture) it’s like you can’t believe that food can taste like this. In addition to the amazing food the restaurant had a beautiful interior and pleasant service. We went back two times! They presented delicious tiramisu for my boyfriend’s birthday and make our evening really special, singing songs with us, so we feel like we are among our family.
It was an unforgettable experience. I absolutely recommend this place!
