A must-try when visiting Genoa. Pasta and pesto are FRESH and, as per tradition, all homemade. The focaccia with stracchino and gorgonzola is a must-try!

Highly recommended. What's better than homemade pasta al presto? Fresh pasta and even better pesto. The best pesto pasta you'll find in the area, and don't forget to try the focaccia with stracchino and Zola cheese, truly incredible 😍

A quick bite to eat, the place is located in a fairly old red brick building—not particularly comfortable, but still welcoming. The cheese focaccia or the delicious pesto pasta are a must-try.

The dishes are not very abundant, but otherwise I would say the quality is there.

Came here for cooking class with Gian and Mimmo - excellent hosts and excellent food! Best focaccia in Genoa!

We stumbled upon this place completely by chance, and it was simply perfect! Homemade pasta and focaccia, simply delicious. Thank you!

Cena del 23/04/2025 Dal punto di vista logistico, la posizione è abbastanza centrale, a due passi dalla casa di Cristoforo Colombo, e l’ambiente molto piacevole, con mattoni e travi a vista a creare una bella atmosfera; non molto comodi, seppur esteticamente piacevoli, i tavoli (ricavati da botti), un po’ troppo alti e con le sedie che costringono ad una postura un po’ innaturale, almeno per chi, come me, ha un giro vita “importante “. La cucina, tipica locale, ci è piaciuta. Abbiamo ordinato: tagliatelle fatte in casa al pesto, appena carenti di sale, ben condite e al dente, focaccia di Recco gustosa e generosamente farcita, pansoti con salsa di noci e un buon piatto di brandacujun. Pasta e pane fatti in casa. Servizio cortese e rapido. Conto adeguato. Unico appunto: la presenza di depositi di polvere sui cavi che sovrastano il bancone, a rischio caduta sulle preparazioni da forno. Voto: 8
