Maniman In Genova

Second time at this Osteria. Unfortunately, some factors detracted from the evening. The heat, first and foremost, even though we were inside, the thermostat read between 29 and 29.1 degrees Celsius. The dishes are very elaborate and certainly have enormous potential, but on this evening the flavors were overpowered by the excessive use of garlic. Speaking from someone who enjoys it, but too much risks ruining the dish.

We hadn't been there for many years. The new ownership has kept many of the "historic" dishes but lacks the courage to push them to the limit. The curry and mango risotto didn't feature the latter. The blueberry stew only featured two. The fish ravioli were good, but unfortunately they arrived cold, and I would have liked two more. The mixed fried fish was truly excellent. Île flottante, a French dessert, was good but nothing like the original. The service was quick and courteous. Very good food, prices in line with the quality. Be more daring. We'll be back and recommend. June 22, 2026 We've been back several times; last night everything was excellent. The fried tuna meatballs were good. The house "plin" ravioli with gurnard and porcini mushrooms, topped with ricotta and buffalo mozzarella, are highly recommended. The warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream and the fruit basket with puff pastry and Chantilly cream are fabulous. I added a star to my first review. Unfortunately, the mango curry rice isn't as good as the original from years ago, but we'll be back when we can.

I can't understand why it doesn't have many good reviews. Our food was delivered right away, hot, and delicious. The location is beautiful, and the food is also good value for money.

A welcoming place, especially in the summer because of the beautiful outdoor space. Beautifully presented, high-quality dishes, both seafood and meat. The mixed fried fish and pork cheek with mashed potatoes are delicious. We'll be back.

The outdoor table setting is very pleasant, but the quality of the dishes is disappointing, especially considering the bill (starter + fish main course, 1/2 portion of dessert, and house wine).

Lunch with friends on the beautiful terrace. Excellent fish, truly superb capon magro.

Five of us had lunch outside in the garden. The service, the food, everything was perfect! Congratulations. We'll be back. Recommended!

We ate very well in a wonderful location.

Interesting menu with creative dishes expertly cooked (I recommend the anchovy delicacies), very pleasant outdoor setting, some oversights in the service (dishes not always presented together (4 diners), cutlery given late), reasonable price.

Lovely place with a sea view. Food was served quickly and was very tasty. Will gladly return here.
