Zeffirino In Genova

Top Notch service, amazing food and great atmosphere. Check out this hidden gem.

The best pesto I've ever had, 10/10 and I recommend the cappressa salad 👍

Magnificent place with decor that conveys the history of the place, delicious dishes and a beautiful wine list. The staff is attentive and multilingual. Just perfect!

I had the extraordinary experience of a dinner at Zeffirino, a historic and renowned restaurant in the center of Genoa. The restaurant is elegant, welcoming and the staff makes the service nothing short of perfect. As appetizers we tasted the mixture of raw seafood, the prawn tartare and the tuna tartare. The preparation of tartare at the table is fascinating, I had never tried it. For the first course, the spaghetti with seafood was excellent, while for the second course I let myself be seduced by a pan-fried dish as per tradition. Desserts worth trying are the millefeuille and the decomposed tiramisu. The sorbet must also be very good. It's a place for special occasions, everything is excellent!

Great restaurant, luxurious, delicious, even inexpensive. Italian class.

One of the most memorable lunches we’ve had. Nothing was too much trouble. My wife asked about 2 different vegetarian dishes she was contemplating and the waiter kindly offered to make half & half so she could experience both! That is not something that happens typically. The owner Marco and his family run an incredible operation and worth a visit next time you are in Genova ❤️🇮🇹

This place was absolutely exceptional, the food was amazing and the staff were extraordinary. The first impressions were fine dining but we were not dressed for the occasion. The staff made us feel very at ease and gave us great recommendations! We wanted pesto pasta from the region and we ordered off menu as they said they could accommodate at the time. This little touch and detail was something that usually doesn’t happen in restaurants, the food was absolutely sublime and the wine was very tasty. They pride themselves in creating a relaxed dining environment, they come to the table and finish serving the dish in front of your table. This was very impressive to watch and also some dishes came with their own twist. The owner/manager came around to ask how we found the service and also where we were from. This was very friendly and made us feel like we were welcomed as a customer! Great experience and we will be back! :) P.S lemon and Basil sorbet was incredible

After seeing the incredibly good reviews, my husband and I were excited to dine here. Unfortunately, my positive mood was dampened. We came without a reservation and got a table straight away, the service was also friendly. We sat down and were given a welcome drink, but no history of the restaurant. It seemed as if there was no interest in contacting us at all. While we were looking at the menu, the waiter came to us impatiently and wanted to take the order as quickly as possible, time pressure was inevitable. We ended up ordering wine and a main course each since we weren't that hungry. There was spaghetti with seafood and actually a lasagna with pesto. Instead of lasagna, simple pasta with pesto was served, which was delicious. The spaghetti, however, was barely salted and the seafood didn't seem fresh (perhaps from the freezer?). It was quite good, but definitely not worth €28 per dish. We actually wanted to end our evening on a nice note, but instead we just wanted to leave, without dessert, without anything. The restaurant is more of an illusion than a reality.

Consigliato dall'hotel dove alloggiamo, per una improvvisata vacanza genovese, ristorante scoperto per caso e senza parcheggio.... ma locale tip, cucina top, servizio top... un riassunto di Genova. Apparentemente scomoda ma poi affascinate e squisita... 10+

Comida perfeita em um ambiente repleto de história e beleza. A comida além de maravilhosa é servida com todo o carinho. Quem nos atendeu foi a Jennifer, uma baiana de Itacaré, que além de ser uma simpatia é a esposa do dono. Noite repleta de surpresas e encontros.
