Great
Italian Food in Monterosso Italy
Monterosso al Mare...is one of 5 villages located in the Northern Cinque Terre region known as the Italian version
of the French Riviera.
Miky's is located in the northern part of Monterosso on Via Fegina overlooking the Ligurian Sea...just 100 meters
from the local train station located across from the beach area. The place is always packed with well-tailored
locals and visitors who are always looking for great food in a classy environment for affordable prices. There is
an excellent wine list with over 250 selections to choose from.
The Defina family runs the restaurant. Chef Miky, along with his wife Simonetta and daughter Sara devote themselves
to creating a superb dining experience. Sara is also an excellent pastry chef.
The staff always includes a professional group of personnel who can speak English, French and German and are great
at making their guests feel comfortable and at home in this exciting Italian eatery. This is a very popular
destination for German tourist who like to hike the trails in Cinque Terre.
Entering the charming trattoria, you are greeted with the aromas of the local specialties cooking in wood-fire
ovens. At Miky's you can try a wide variety of appetizers...homemade pasta, fish, lobsters, fresh shellfish...all
prepared in traditional Ligurian style, in wood-burning ovens.
Miky's is famous for their unique local specialties: risotto with prawns or linguine with lobster...Cooked in
earthen pots, covered with a thin layer of pasta and put into the big oven in the main room where it is cooked. In
the same wood-burning oven, Miky cooks another unique favorite...the "shell" with trenette alla pescatrice...made
of pizza like dough and cooked separately. This is a delightful experience as you break the crust and discover a
true Ligurian delight.
You must finish a perfect meal with an original traditional dessert "the Sciacchetra cake"...a mousse with lemon
and zeppole. You can also try their mixed sampler plate "dolce mista".
It is wise to have reservations during the high tourist season (May through September). Miky's is located at Via
Fegina 104, telephone 0187-817-608.
