24/11/2025: Unparalleled kindness....large dishes and good quality...the right place to relax and feel protected from the world......I come back every time to feel at home in complete relaxation.
01/11/2025: An excellent experience, authentic Genoese cuisine, uncomplicated and practical, because when you serve so many people you have to be quick and still offer quality dishes. Here, you can breathe in tradition, you can feel the antiquity of the place but... without dust on the bottles.
Tradition and simplicity reign here: ravioli al tuccü with a filling that is an explosion of flavors, the pesto is truly delicious, lasagna is a classic, but also excellent cod fritters, a traditional charcuterie board, a shank that seemed to come from the Flintstones movie but well-cooked and plentiful, a braised meat that melted in your mouth, impeccable service, a perfect host, kind but not intrusive, knowledgeable and firm in his gastronomic choices, who don't see forced innovation, but rather stick to tradition without inventing strange things!
Humility, simplicity, an excellent staff, and a host who understands that ancient, traditional flavors don't necessarily need change, from edible flowers to drops of parsley concentrate.
Then I add the artisanal panettone, the tiramisu, the focaccia, and the homemade tart.
Good, simple, honest wines.
I give Daniele and his staff a 10!
Perhaps Bastianich was badly advised on his two visits to Genoa; he should have stopped by the Santuario della Guardia and eaten here to discover those flavors that linger in your memory.
Congratulations, and thank you for giving us an unforgettable lunch.
