Focacceria Mario In Genova

26/11/2024: Antipasto Master and Spaghetti Master: two certainties! I always happily come back for an aperitif or dinner. For the aperitif, the fragolino is highly recommended and typical

06/11/2024: I was amazed, I knew this place as an aperitif bar and instead I ate excellent fish for lunch on Sunday. So I also came back for dinner. Wide choice of first and second courses including meat. For me, sautéed octopus on potato cream with Taggiasca olives and cherry tomatoes (the cooking of the octopus was phenomenal and the balance of flavor between olives and potatoes was excellent!) tuna & strawberry tataki (a beautiful dish, both spectacular and tasty, I appreciated the combination with the teriyaki sauce). The Master tagliolini with fish ragù and the potato, prawn and curry gnocchi are also excellent. I also returned for the Halloween dinner with a menu consisting of: Pumpkin flan with taleggio cream and crispy bacon, Burrata and basil ravioli with cherry tomatoes and salted ricotta, Scaloppine with porcini mushrooms (which I replaced with octopus on potato cream with Taggiasca olives) and caramel panna cotta. Everything was excellent, delicate flavours, beautiful presentations. Fast service. With water and coffee included we spent €35 per person. Fair price even for the à la carte menu given the quality and I remind you that we are in Santa Margherita. Nice location. Advised.
