Il Genovese In Genova

ll Genovese is a culinary gem in the heart of Genoa, offering an authentic taste of Ligurian cuisine at its finest. Known for its exquisite pesto alla Genovese, the restaurant elevates traditional dishes with fresh, high-quality ingredients and masterful preparation. From tender trofie pasta to rich seafood options, every dish bursts with vibrant flavors. I went for the traditional pesto linguini with beans and potatoes, and the lightly fried tripe to start off with. The cozy, welcoming ambiance and attentive service make for a truly memorable dining experience. For anyone seeking the true flavors of Genoa, Il Genovese is an absolute must-visit; you will not taste better pesto anywhere else in the world!

Excellent typical trattoria... recommended by a Genoese. We were happy with the advice! Had a great meal. Well done. The place is small but with the right patience we succeeded.

Excellent place to eat really good local dishes with the right attention to intolerances. Tasty, varied dishes and the very kind waitress who served us today (on the 1st floor). Advised. It is useful to book in advance.

This was the best of the most “traditional” restaurants we went to in Genova. The pesto was the tastiest we tried, and the pasta was also great and interesting. The fritto misto was very very good too. Given the overall price, an absolute bargain.

Excellent typical Genoese trattoria, delicious food and "warm" environment

Sublime experience, a must for anyone visiting Genoa. Very friendly staff, clean room. To be recommended.

Satisfied. Very good food, young and fast staff.

If you haven't been there yet, go, if you've already been there, I imagine you can't wait to go back like me. I went there last night for the first time, on the occasion of a friend's birthday and I was won over! Meanwhile, I would like to congratulate all the staff who prepared and served each course quickly and at the same time to a table of 36 people. The waiters are really smart: they handled our large (and noisy) group perfectly, always with grace and a smile. As for the dishes, all EXQUISITE. As an appetizer I took the lean cappon (which I would define as a second course rather than an appetizer), as a first course the ravioli with foie gras, as a second course the Ligurian rabbit and for dessert the chinotto sorbet. They also served us some pesto as an accompaniment which was the best I've eaten outside of home. All at a truly honest price. I will definitely be back!

Этот ресторанчик нам посоветовали в отеле, как наиболее полно соответствующий понятию "Лигурийская кухня". Пришли вечером, заведение битком. Оказалось, что столик надо бронировать заранее. Но нас пустили с условием, что мы освободим столик до 21-00, и это нас вполне устроило. Заказывали исключительно лигурийские блюда. Не сказал бы, что это какой-то особый кулинарный изыск, но зато аутентично. Повеселил десерт Тирамису. Оказалось что-то вроде конструктора "Сделай сам", т.е. все ингредиенты по отдельности.
