Da Paulin In Genova

Excellent cuisine and hospitality, highly recommended

This is my third time here, and I honestly don't understand how anyone could give this place a bad review. You pay for quality...no complaints. Great place, great food, and very friendly owner and wait staff.

We visited this restaurant and were absolutely thrilled. Here are the dishes that won us over: • House appetizer: Truly delicious, a mix of authentic flavors that perfectly prepares the palate for the rest of the dinner. • Meat ravioli with tomato sauce: Simply spectacular. Perfect fresh pasta and a flavorful sauce reminiscent of the flavors of yesteryear. • Desserts: The grand finale left us speechless. Both the tiramisu and the pistachio and raspberry tart were spectacular, a truly perfect balance of sweetness and contrast. In short: excellent quality and carefully prepared dishes. We'll definitely be back!

Went for lunch with colleagues while we were on a business trip in the area. Recommended by a client. Nice place with a family atmosphere. Typical local cuisine. Excellent food at great prices.

Nice, welcoming place, excellent food, ample parking.

Excellent and plentiful food, very friendly staff

I like it. I often go there for lunch, with the set menu for workers. Excellent food and generous portions.

A quiet, family-run restaurant serving traditional Ligurian food, located in a quaint village.

Trattoria in name, but NOT in fact. Like every year before Christmas, we go to a different trattoria with friends, but this year we were very disappointed. The first wine they brought us tasted like stale wine, and it was truly disgusting. Thankfully, the second course was good. The appetizers were fairly unremarkable, except for the carpaccio, which was very respectable. The ravioli were good, but topped with a completely unremarkable tomato sauce, which made the whole thing truly mediocre. The lasagna, on the other hand, was very good. The lamb was okay, but the Italian-style fried food... raw vegetables stuck to bland, rubbery batter, truly disappointing. The desserts were okay, but nothing special. Another negative is the quantity of food: I go to a trattoria to fill up, not to starve. But here, despite having a few courses, we still woke up hungry. Just to give you an idea, we ordered some ravioli and some lasagna to share, so that each person had a generous half portion of ravioli and half of lasagna. Seven ravioli and a handful of lasagna. These quantities don't exist in a real trattoria, I'm afraid. And to make matters worse: the exorbitant price of €50 per person, truly insane and outrageous compared to other places. The staff, on the other hand, is exceptionally friendly and warm. I don't recommend going there, especially since the hills around Genoa are chock-full of a thousand, a thousand times better, alternatives.

Typical Ligurian lunch menu, excellent pansoti with walnut sauce
