In the heart of Cinque Terre, in Monterosso al Mare, Tosca Bistrot offers authentic Italian cuisine inspired by traditional Ligurian flavors and prepared with fresh, local, high-quality ingredients. All our dishes are homemade with passion, from hand-made fresh pasta to artisanal desserts.
Alongside our à la carte menu, each morning we select the best ingredients available to create daily specials that celebrate the flavors of the sea and the surrounding land, displayed outside the restaurant.
Our wine list is centered on Cinque Terre labels and enriched by wines from small family-run wineries in nearby Italian regions, chosen to reflect the true character and traditions of each territory.
