It's like stepping into authentic old Genoa.
High-quality ingredients, a wonderful atmosphere, and a warm welcome. One of those historic osterias worth protecting.

A truly positive experience. A lovely place, well-decorated and with well-spaced tables, in a central area of Genoa yet secluded enough to enjoy a quiet setting. Easily accessible by public transport and on foot. The ingredients are certainly of high quality, and you can taste it. We enjoyed fried anchovies and lean capon, both expertly cooked. Then the stewed cuttlefish and spaghetti with fish sauce were truly delicious. The service was impeccable, with its friendliness, helpfulness, and attentive service. The wine selection was good. We were a bit rushed due to our theater appointment, but we'll be back to enjoy other dishes at our leisure. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended!

Ostaia a Ribotta is an exceptional osteria. The food and drink were excellent. Excellent quality and service. Clean and friendly.
I'll know where to return next time I'm in Genoa.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I ate at Ostaia a Ribotta in Genoa on October 29th with my wife, and the experience was truly enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious dishes, especially the trenette al pesto and the mandilli al pesto, which were authentic and rich in flavor. Among the daily specials, we chose an excellent cod, cooked with great care.
To conclude, dessert: a delicate rhubarb jelly accompanied by a sautéed fresh strawberry, a combination that won us over. The courtesy of the owner and all the staff was remarkable; they made us feel truly welcomed and cared for with kindness.
We will definitely return on our next visit to Genoa: a must-see for anyone who loves traditional Ligurian cuisine.

Beautiful location in a very characteristic area of Genoa. Fresh fish, but the pairings aren't always successful. Excellent wine selection, with friendly (but not predictable) staff.
