C'era una volta In Genova

Friendly, quick service, beautiful place. Well done! I'll be back!

returned yesterday after a very long time, the atmosphere, food and service are always excellent. warm stockfish salad with potatoes, cherry tomatoes and taggiasca olives, an excellent dish to not feel heavy with the current temperatures, but I still couldn't resist a first course that I hadn't eaten in a long time: pansoti with spectacular walnut sauce, with crumbled walnuts not only to garnish the dish but to enhance its flavour. the dessert was a more than pleasant surprise: first time I tasted the basil cheesecake with chocolate flakes, very fresh and very well balanced. I hope it won't be too long before I can return again, because 'C'era Una Volta - Trattoria Artigianale' for me is now a fixed point for the discovery or re-discovery of the flavours of Genoese cuisine.

Typical Genoese cuisine, good food and excellent service :)

Restaurant I used to frequent during my university years. After years, the good impression I had at the time has remained: friendly service, very good raw materials used to prepare the dishes, warm and colorful environment, correct quality/price ratio also in comparison to the portions served.

The welcoming environment, very kind! The excellent food! The prosecco... excellent!!! The fritto misto a spectacle! 5 stars overall!

We were in this restaurant for my birthday on 4/05 well I have to say it was a fantastic evening. To start with the service was spectacular... The girls who served us were nice and good and the owner made us feel at home. The food was really good, 100% Genoese especially the pansoti, really special. The guys from Verona especially appreciated the basil liqueur and the wine and if we return to Genoa it will definitely be a must.

Nous sommes arrivés un peu par hasard dans ce restaurant et nous ne l'avons pas regretté. Les assiettes sont copieuses et tout est fait maison. Nous étions probablement les seuls touristes, le reste de la clientèle était composée de locaux et d'habitués. L'accueil est bon enfant et le service rapide.La décoration est faussement désordonnée dans un style disons, vintage. Nous avons commandé des trofiete al pesto et des spaghetti al frutte di mar dont je conserve un souvenir ému ! Ce serait dommage de venir à Gênes sans passer se régaler dans ce petit endroit charmant.

Always coming back!!!! Highly recommended.... EXCELLENT food, wonderful staff, very welcoming atmosphere....excellent prices!!!

Given the positive reviews and the inviting word of mouth, we tried this place for a weekday dinner. The three stars for me were earned mainly by the kindness of the waiting staff, the first course (excellent) and the desserts. Everything else was nothing exciting. We had a problem with the appetizer (the Russian salad was sour and stinging, it was taken away immediately as soon as we pointed it out, with obvious apologies) and as for the overall dinner it did not reflect the positive comments that had attracted us. A slightly bad evening can happen to anyone, maybe we ended up in one of those... beautiful location and convenient position right in the center.

Cucina tipica genovese in ambiente semplice e caratteristico. Osteria stile familiare, servizio rapido e cortese. Prezzi nella media. Qualita eccellente. Abbastanza abbondanti le porzioni. Dolci artigianali eccellenti.
