“We should have eaten outside...”

We had just hiked from Monterosso to Vernazza and we were hot, thirsty, and hungry. I wanted to just buy some take away pizza and eat near the harbor but my husband wanted to cool off indoors and have access to a bathroom. We didn't realize that Baia Saracena had a lovely terrace with umbrelllas to shield you from the sun when we went inside. Service was poor as we were unsure if we should seat ourselves or order at the counter. Eventually we were seated and we ordered a pizza and grabbed some cold drinks for ourselves. Pizza was decent but atmosphere and service were definitely lacking. Pizza was 9 euros but the bill was 18 with cover charges, a small water, and a can of iced tea. If we had sat outside at least we could have enjoyed their ideal location.

Slow night, only customer. Best pesto we ever had. Don't let the paper napkins fool you. The house red was nice too.

The only thing that works for this place is the location. It can't get much better than this. Ideally placed to watch the sunset and sip a glass of cheap wine. That's where the issue starts. They could so much more to this place but it looks like a lazy attempt since they're guaranteed for a constant flow of foot fall. Their salad is half hearted and their wine tastes like cold expired grape juice.

We had the best pizzas of our trip at Baia Saracena, crisp base and good taste. The setting overlooking the harbour is beautiful as the sun was setting. It was such a relaxing enjoyable evening. The waiters were friendly and even if you have to wait a bit i think this is normal in Italy and I would prefer it to being rushed. The house carafe of red wine was lovely and the bill was very reasonable.

If you crave a pizza and a beer/ wine this is place to go . Nothing fancy and wine is so so but the location is excellent just by the ferry looking over the bay. I had the full works capriciossa ( artichokes, ham etc) wife had pesto pizza. We loved the food .
Give it a try
