WHERE TO EAT The best Linguine allo scoglio in the world (according to food experts)

"This tiny trattoria has built its reputation on delicious homemade pasta and seafood. To taste both at once, try the fettuccine allo scoglio (pasta ribbons with mixed seafood)."

"Instead, we meandered through town and had the most amazing lunch and the best pasta we ever ate at Trattoria Bar Il Porticciolo."

"Served in a large platter to share, just like your Nonna would make if you had one, the oily black curls of pasta are dotted with seafood. There are scampi, prawns, clams, mussels and a local specialty which was almost like a mussel but housed in a long, thin shell and is found on the rocks in Manarola according to the waiter."

"The calamarata was a highlight for me because of the perfectly al dente pasta in this delicious creamy light sauce toppled with fresh seafood."

"My daughter ordered the scampi pasta in tomato sauce. and they really do their tomato sauce pastas very well."
