Focacceria Fossatello In Genova

26/01/2026: A hidden gem where the mandilli pesto is incredible, the breaded anchovies are perfect, and the wine is just right. I have to go back!

07/01/2026: High and disappointed expectations. A restaurant with an interesting menu (it changes depending on the availability of ingredients), but the dishes are poorly cooked and not up to par with the prices. You could tell from the fried appetizers, anchovies and zucchini, that the food was going to be bad: full of oil and soggy, probably fried in oil at the wrong temperature or in too little quantity. Second course: fish with couscous: ridiculous portion. The rest was normal but overpriced. €50 per person. In Genoa's historic center, you can eat much better for less. A restaurant with such a beautiful wine bar should offer more, especially if they want to keep prices at those levels. I don't know if the idea is to rip off tourists, but a Genoese certainly wouldn't choose it twice.
