Monterosso Al Mare Restaurant.

Try to decide on two different restaurants for our anniversary dinner in September. L’Ancora Della Tortuga or Torre Aurora. Anyone here been to either of them? Why you like them.

My husband and I, along with my brother-in-law and his wife, had dinner last October at L'Ancora Della Tortuga. We requested a table outside overlooking the cliffs, castle and the sea. The view was very beautiful. We all four enjoyed our meal very much and found the prices to be reasonable, considering the view. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant because it was a very memorable night. We called from the US to make a reservation prior to the start of our trip. We did not go to Torre Aurora but from reading their website, it seems to be a cocktail bar. For an anniversary dinner, the L'Ancore Della Tortuga seems more appropriate.

Thx Terry you have reaffirmed what I also seemed like the better of the two. Will make a reservation for sure.

Second vote for L'Ancora Della Tortuga. We loved it! We sat outside overlooking the cliffs and sea also, and the food was fantastic. Make sure to CALL and get reservation (may not be simple- I had to try calling a few times during their business hours (time difference) until I finally reached someone.

There were several couples waiting for table without reservation and they were turned away (this was in mid September of last year), so I highly advise chasing down the reservation.

I should mention that we have not tried "Torre Aurora".
Enjoy! with the view and the food, it's a memorable treat!
