Why go

For a quick savory bite, look for focaccia or farinata. A fish meal offers a chance to try dry Cinque Terre white wine; save Sciacchetrà for cheese or dessert. Grappa and lemon liqueur are separate after-meal choices, and Corniglia honey gelato offers another named local flavor.

What to look for

  • Dry Cinque Terre white wine is a traditional match for local seafood.
  • Sweet Sciacchetrà is commonly paired with cheese or dessert.
  • Grappa is distilled from the grape pomace left after winemaking.

Useful to know

  • Ask for a dry Cinque Terre white with fish and a small serving of Sciacchetrà with cheese or dessert.
  • If you want a non-wine local drink, distinguish lemon liqueur from grape-based grappa.
