What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ristorante Pizzeria Da Ely is praised for its traditional Ligurian dishes, delicious pizzas, and fresh seafood, with many highlighting the spaghetti ai frutti di mare and fritto misto. The homemade desserts and attentive service also receive accolades. However, some diners have experienced long wait times due to the no-reservation policy and occasional issues with food arriving at different times.
"We were here on a Friday night and sat outside. The service was very very good, and even surprised us at dessert because we are here for our honeymoon.
The food was extremely great. We had the swordfish carpaccio, the trofie pesto, and a daily special with porchino mushrooms. Everything tasted amazing. The desserts were even better: tiramisu and panna cotta. We found out that they were made by the pastry chef of the house.
If we're ever here again we surely will eat here."
Anjali Sing
"We got here just as they opened and it was lucky we did! They filled up straight away, so get in early if you don’t want to wait for a table. The food was incredible. I highly recommend the spaghetti ai frutti di mare! The pizza was really good too and big enough that we have enough for lunch the next day. Would definitely come back."
Casey Clubley
"We had the classic Margherita and a white-base buffalo mozzarella pizza—both were delicious! Thin crust, quality cheese, and neither greasy nor overly salty, unlike what some reviews mentioned. But of course, everyone has different tastes when it comes to food. As for the wait staff, they were wonderful. This is a spot we’ll definitely return to before leaving Monterosso."
