There's also outdoor seating. We arrived right at 7 p.m. and were able to snag a spot, but it got very crowded after that :)
The appetizers were good, but we would have preferred another main course. We only had the primo—spaghetti with seafood was on the daily special and very tasty. We also had the Aperol Spritz alternative :)

We stopped at Il Genovese during a short stop in Genoa and couldn't have chosen a better place!
We discovered it online and were thrilled: a warm welcome, kind and helpful staff, and an authentic atmosphere that immediately immerses you in Ligurian cuisine.
We wanted to try something traditional, and this restaurant exceeded all expectations: everything was delicious, carefully prepared, and truly authentic.
We absolutely recommend it to anyone seeking true tradition and quality.

Perhaps, given all the awards hanging on the door, our expectations were too high, but we found the fried food very greasy and the trofie overcooked... what a shame!

We dined at this restaurant, run by a renowned chef. The pesto is excellent, as is the pasta. I imagine the other dishes are too!
We also celebrated my wife's birthday there, and the staff was very kind to keep the tart as a surprise and helped me serve it :)
However, we were surprised to be charged for the water and the small pesto dishes offered directly upon our arrival: €12, the equivalent of a dish. We weren't even aware that it was a charge; no one told us, and it was delivered directly to our table.
I also didn't appreciate the rush and the general pace; we felt they were a bit rushed.

The Oscar for typical Genoa restaurants. Best trofie al pesto.

Restaurant located near the shopping street. Friendly service and good food. In Italy, they usually charge a cover per person, which brings the bill to between €3 and €6 per person.

Recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing dinner with a wide selection of high-quality traditional dishes that reflect Genoese/Ligurian cuisine (and I say this as a local). Kudos to the waiter, who not only served us, but also made us feel welcome and entertained us with jokes and laughter between courses.

Con un amico toscano ho prenotato in questo locale una settimana prima in quanto avevo provato altre volte all’ora di pranzo e non avevo trovato posto ( salvo avere la pazienza di aspettare davanti alla porta). Trofie al pesto eccellenti così come lo stoccafisso accomodato . Cordialità e servizio celere sono un altro punto a favore di chi gestisce il locale. Da provare assolutamente anche per saggiare altre pietanze viste passare e servite ad altri tavoli.
