A well-maintained restaurant, excellent dishes with a nice wine list. The service is always attentive and helpful.
I recommend booking because the restaurant is small and always busy.
I will definitely be back.

A lovely, characteristic trattoria in the heart of Genoa's old Sampierdarena district, run by a young and attentive management team. Excellent dishes and a well-balanced, unique Ligurian-style fish menu. The wait staff is brilliant, friendly, and quick, and personable. One criticism concerns the table setting, which could definitely be improved (tablecloths and napkins are needed), given the medium-high quality of the cuisine and the refined atmosphere. Furthermore, if a large group is dining in a room, the table for two should be placed in a quieter area to protect the poor ears, conversation, and privacy of the diners. Always considering the high quality of this establishment, which is not a pizzeria...
As an architect, I can't comment on the bathroom because I haven't been there, and I can confirm that it's easily accessible for everyone, with just one step from street level. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes, paired with the excellent wine list! Enjoy your meal at Zia Maria's!

The menu features some very special dishes, true to the Genoese tradition. Everything is very well prepared.
The young waiters are able to recommend the most special dishes if you're a foreigner.

A quaint trattoria in the port area with traditional dishes cooked to perfection using high-quality ingredients. The pansotti are especially noteworthy. It's hard to find such good and balanced dishes, and the cod and rabbit are also very good. The desserts are excellent. These days, it's hard to find quality dishes cooked simply and respecting tradition.
Returned today, June 18, 2026, and the authenticity of the dishes is confirmed once again: fabulous and very generous seafood spaghetti, excellent grilled fish, and absolutely fabulous desserts, a zuppa inglese (trifle) to be commended.
