I totally didnt expect to stumble upon an Eastern cuisine restaurant in the middle of Genoa. We immediately decided to have dinner here and it was a great choice. The restaurant offers a wide selection of meals typical of Poland, Ukraine and Hungary. We enjoyed borshch, dumplings, and sernik. All was amazing. The interior is quite funky, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Kowalski Restaurant is a great place for lovers of Eastern European cuisine. It has a pleasant, homey atmosphere, and the service is exceptional. 😊
The food definitely deserves praise – especially the delicious vegetable salad, which tastes just like Grandma's. The pierogi are fantastic, fresh, and well-seasoned, and the pea soup is a real hit – aromatic and filling. The buckwheat apple pie is delicious. 🤍
This is a place you'll want to come back to if you're looking for hearty, tasty food. I definitely recommend it! 😘

Last night was my first time; I fell in love with the place, the dishes, everything!
The herring and Russian salad appetizer absolutely won me over! The selection is vast, and they pay great attention to everyone's needs (vegans, omnivores, basically, everyone can eat well here!). The portions are huge; I recommend choosing a few at a time to appreciate your selection even more. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try the vodkas because I'm pregnant, but I'll definitely be back as soon as I can because I'm really curious.
If you've never been, give it a try! You'll leave satisfied and with a whole new level of culinary knowledge!
Kudos also to the staff for their helpfulness and customer service.
See you soon 🤟🏻💖

Kowalski is the perfect place to enjoy traditional Eastern European cuisine. I recommend the pierogi (traditional Polish potato-filled ravioli) accompanied by Barszcz (beetroot broth), and then I recommend trying their goulash. They also have a wide selection of vodka-based and flavored vodka cocktails. The atmosphere is charming and the staff are friendly.

This was my first time eating at this restaurant, and I was very pleased. The place is beautiful and quaint. The dishes are absolutely delicious. Generous portions, well-seasoned, and of excellent quality. The meat deserves special mention, as it was very tender and flavorful. Before bringing our orders, they welcomed us with a complimentary meat pie. The young woman who served us was very kind and professional, asking us, after we'd ordered our dishes, if we had any allergies or intolerances to inform the kitchen (few do this). I also noticed this thoughtfulness in the thoughtfulness of repeatedly bringing us bread without us asking. Highly recommended!

What can I say? The perfect place. The owner is wonderful. The food is incredibly plentiful and truly delicious. A welcoming, clean, and original place. Perfect for winter evenings, ending with a shot of vodka.
