On Riomagiore's main street, in Cinque Terre, as you walk down, on the left side is Il Pescato Cucinato. This is a tiny shop that serves lightly fried seafood in a paper cone that is great. Skip the expensive restaurants near the water and try this place. We had a mixed seafood cone, with crab claws, scallops, calamari, sardines and other seafood that was lightly fried to perfection. It costs about 10 Euros. We walked across the street and sat on the Church steps and ate. We liked it so much, we ordered a second cone. If you are still hungry, get a slice of pizza or focaccia for a few Euros. To top it off, take a seat at an outside table and have a liter of the local wine and watch the people walk by. To us, this was a perfect lunch hour, much better than spending 50 Euros at a seaside restaurant serving average food to tourists.

Fried seafood was delicious. My husband thought it was a little too salty for his taste but me and my sister LOVED it! Nice little snack.

A cone of freshly fried seafood? It's the perfect snack to walk around with while you're exploring Riomaggiore. They have a couple of options but I went with the mixed. This comes with shrimp, calamari and anchovies - but I would say it was probably 75% anchovies.

Don't leave this village without trying it!

We stopped here on our first day in Riomaggiore. JACKPOT!! We went back 2 more times throughout the week for the fresh seafood mix (shrimp and calamari). It is the best, fresh seafood with a squeeze of lemon. Simply perfecto!!

Nice new experience! I am a sea-food lover and this concept was a fresh idea! You get to choose a cone size and they fill it with different little sea creatures. I enjoyed my meal very much sitting on the port's rocks in the sunset.
