Il Mortaio In Genova

We had lunch at this trattoria on Christmas Day, and honestly, we're not sure which restaurant the negative review we read refers to! Everything was excellent: the food was excellent and plentiful, the service attentive and well-organized, even with all the dishes on the menu. A special day made even more enjoyable by a truly impeccable experience.

Excellent New Year's Eve dinner, even the service and bottle of sparkling wine for the toast. Overall, everything was excellent as always, thank you so much. Highly recommended.

You eat well and spend the right amount

Excellent Genoese cuisine. Simple, unpretentious place, very friendly owners, amazing zabaglione dessert!

Great experience, absolutely delicious homemade Italian food. Thank you mama! I wish we could stay longer in the area.

For a family run restaurant, this takes some beating. Charming staff, great cooking and fantastic pesto. Full of locals for our visit, a good sign, as is the short menu. Mama does the cooking and the sons do front of house. V reasonable price. Will visit again when in Genoa.🤩

I've been hearing about it for a while, the reviews were excellent, and I wanted to try it. Nice, informal atmosphere, fast, friendly staff, but the real highlight is the flavor! Ligurian dishes cooked with excellent ingredients, everything homemade, even the fresh pasta and pesto... everything was absolutely excellent! I ate very well, even though I'm not one to settle, especially when it comes to Ligurian cuisine! The portions were even too generous! I'm bursting but I'm extremely satisfied! Absolutely worth trying! See you soon!

The dishes are small but taste great! However, we waited over two hours for an appetizer and a main course.
