Group of 10 - dinner in Cinque Terre

Hello!

Our family is traveling to Italy this August and I am responsible for planning Cinque Terre. I am looking for restaurants that take reservations and having a difficult time. We are a party of 10, aged 12-80 - under normal circumstances, I wouldn't feel the need for a reservation but because there are so many of us there is a concern we won't get seated, especially in the high season.

I'm looking for decent (good - we love good food!) restaurants that will take a reservation for our large group - even if we are seated at multiple tables at the same time - in Monterosso and Manarola.

Thanks for any suggestions!

RS does a group dinner in Monterosso where they seat 26. The food was good, but I didn’t pay enough attention to the name(sorry). Perhaps call RS tours and ask for name if restaurant they use?

We ate at Billy's in Manarola. It is fantastic. It's a small place, but maybe if you reserve now you can get the tables you need. trattoriabilly.com. We were there just before COVID, but at that time there were not any other restaurants in Manarola that were good. Our innkeeper also said as much.

Billy’s is indeed very good—at least it was 10 years ago when we were there. It is quite small, so you will definitely need to reserve a large table well in advance.
