This restaurant deserves a positive review beyond measure. I recommend making a reservation not because there aren't many seats, but because it is very crowded. We were welcomed with a reservation at 7.00 pm by what I believe are the owners who, with paper in hand, were calling up those "booked" (reservations recommended, but not mandatory). An international audience, there were also some Japanese. They accommodated us in the upstairs room and didn't cause any problems for the dog, who although very good is a golden retriever, so not very small. We ordered and already from reading the menu, very varied but above all composed of typical dishes, I noticed the low prices. Four of us ordered different dishes so I could taste the true and typical Genoese cuisine. Top food, but what surprised me was the fish starter which arrived in enormous quantities and which we rigorously and equally shared. First course of spaghetti with seafood and tasting of trofie. The others had the grill and a typical Genoese dish with an unpronounceable name for me. We ordered half a liter of sparkling white wine and since it was a pleasure to drink and didn't bother us, another half liter arrived. In short, at the end we were full but above all very satisfied. I rediscovered the flavors of tradition. I went to pay (about €80 for four people) and since the lady at the checkout spoke fluent English, I continued until I burst out laughing and continued in Italian. Very well received. We will return, but I sincerely hope that this review of mine does not change the prices and the excellent atmosphere. I didn't think typical and original places still existed. I'm not from Genoa, I'm not a friend of the restaurateurs to whom I repeat: keep as you are, don't change anything. If you don't like luxury places where you have to be dressed in a certain way, but you love simple taste....go there.

I had dinner here with my wife. We had an appetizer, a first course, a second course, a dessert each, water and wine. In terms of prices, Cavour21 has very few rivals, the efficiency of the waiters is excellent as is their kindness. It is almost obligatory to book unless you want to queue. Highly recommended and those who live in Genoa know that this place does not need presentations.

Incomparable value for money. A little noisy but excellent!!! This restaurant was recommended to us by the young woman who works at the B&B where we are staying, thanks to her!
Antipasti, primo and secondo + water for 30 euros per person (and again we did not take the cheapest dishes) and yet not very far from the center. Reservation via message or you queue a little bit (but frankly we didn't wait long).

Brilliant! We had to wait in a long line and the waiter gave us wine to liven up the wait. The service was fantastic and the food was incredible.
I definitely recommend the rabbit a la pontina. Exquisite 🤤
Super cheap for the quality they serve

Characteristic place, very homemade, but which gives even more flavor to the superb world champion pesto that we have tasted in multiple ways: Genoese focaccia with pesto, trofie with pesto, potatoes and green beans and lasagnetta with pesto. Courtesy of high level staff. There is the possibility of purchasing their products on site. Really worth going back!!!

i expected food to be delicious because of other review, it was okay but nothing special. but i have a stomach ache now. the service had trouble speaking english and one of the waiters was unkind to me and my friend. we waited for a really long time for a table because they have a strange system of service and there’s no information about that. on the other hand the view of the city from our table was really beautiful.

Da provare, veloci simpatici professionali e a prezzi davvero modici con prodotti di qualità, ci siamo messi in coda per un pranzo di domenica e con attesa di 30 min circa ci siamo seduti ordinando 3 primi : lasagne al pesto e 2 trofie con pesto patate e fagiolini, porzioni abbondanti e con pesto di qualità, per secondo 3 fritture e 1/2 litro di rosato, con acqua e coperti 65 € totale. Consigliatissimo.

Consigliato da un amico, consigliatissimo a tutti.
Prenotate per tempo e gustatevi un menù contenuto ma sincero.
Ottimo il pesto come pure i piati di pesce…
