Mentelocale Bar Bistrot In Genova

22/01/2025: Very kind staff and truly delicious and balanced dishes, abundant quantity. Really congratulations! I will definitely return and it will become a point of reference for dinners with relatives and friends

11/11/2024: First info: there are two entrances. We were waiting for friends who in turn were waiting for us, but we were from two different entrances, so if you are in a group, know this. With hindsight I would probably have chosen the €25 menu where there was also a first course and focaccia di Recco as a second course. Instead we made some focaccia di Recco to share, but given the same price and portions it's not worth it, if I could go back, as I said, I'd take the menu. Nice atmosphere, there is a large space even if you have a table. Focaccia with cheese and pizza very good, with pesto good, but the first two are better (then these flavours!). The thing that disappointed me a little was the dessert, from the photo I don't know if it makes sense, but the portion was small and the taste wasn't that great either (I had taken a piece of pistachio cake, but it didn't taste like pistachio). Furthermore, the desserts were only of three types (semifreddo or cake/tart) because I didn't understand what had been there the night before, so not much variety, at least in quantity... We'll see if going there in the future a second time will actually be different . Very kind waitress, she also apologized for the delay in the arrival of the focaccias. Other practical info: there is a car park right nearby and this is not bad for being in Recco. Furthermore, it is in a position that, if you want, once you leave, you can easily take a walk along the nearby seafront.
