Cruda e Cotta by Il Trofiaio In Genova

Yesterday morning my current carer bought a jar of seafood ragù and a jar of pesto alla genovese from the legendary Trofiaio in Piazza Colombo 10 and 12 reds (watch out for the pen!): one better than the other, despite what some say on this website who vehemently maintain that the pesto from Trofiaio is prepared with parsley instead of basil, as required by the specifications for pesto alla genovese DOP.

I discovered this shop a year ago and I'm very happy with it, lots of choice, everything fresh and of good quality at an unbeatable price.

A small shop and lunch spot, all home-made, of course! Fresh pasta and pesto, sauces, and much more.

Economic, delicious, real Italian food 😋

A high-quality pasta shop where you can also sit down and enjoy their specialties. I recommend trying the trofie with their homemade pesto and the pansoti with walnut sauce. Fair prices and friendly staff.

Central location Helpful staff and friendly, clean place Recommended to tourists for traditional Genoese cuisine Long live Genoa, it works!

We stop by every year on our way back from vacation. A stop at Trofiaio is a must. Affordable prices, top-quality fresh pasta, and delicious pesto. Highly recommended.

Pasta factory that makes various types of pasta and sauces and also operates as a restaurant. Excellent. 7 euros a plate.

A very affectionate customer since 2019. I was buying their products for home, having lunch there (6€ for a huge delicious plate of pasta) and now I live abroad and I took with my kgs of pesto every time I come back. TROFIAIO IS A MUST IN GENOVA! Make yourself a gift and go!

Line up, pick your pasta, get fed, and be happy. Delicious flavors, big portions, reasonable prices, and true local vibes.
