About
Il Frantoio, hidden from the hustle, serves up the true essence of focaccia, including the must-try tomato pesto variety, and Monterosso's beloved pan fritto.
Focacceria Il Frantoio is a culinary hideaway just steps from Monterosso's main thoroughfare, where the star of the show is undoubtedly focaccia, not to be mistaken for its cousin pizza. Here, the secret lies in the leavening, creating a soft, thick dough that becomes the canvas for their signature tomato pesto focaccia. For a local twist, the pan fritto—fried dough bursting with cheese—is a favorite. Whether you opt for a whole pizza or a simple slice, each piece is sold by weight, ensuring a budget-friendly delight. Under 5 euros buys you a quality snack perfect for savoring the sights of Monterosso.
