20/01/2025: Two very strong sisters who run a very successful family inn. The style is that of a country house with a wood stove and the place is small and welcoming. You enter through a few steps into a large room with a counter on the right and a coffee machine and the tables are arranged so as not to bother anyone. It is certainly not an intimate place, because it fills up easily, so you necessarily have to book. But moving on to the best part: so much blessed food. With the fixed menu formula you can taste different traditional Genoese courses and if there is the possibility you can request an encore. It's home cooking like the one that the grandmother of any Genoese native might serve, so I won't dwell on it, but I must say that I personally have never eaten such a good minestrone and I've eaten many minestrone. Here the harmony between consistencies was perfect: a pureed part and a non-puréed part, which I think were the potatoes, but I'm not sure, a pasta shape that couldn't fit better and finally the scents that come from the soup: the scent of the pesto than with vegetables. If you have never come here, you have to go back and come back for the minestrone without a shadow of a doubt, for the girls who are excellent hosts and for the location of the Capannetta, which is a magical place on the immediate heights of Genoa, which during the day will offer priceless views. Finally, I also loved the Easter cake made by them, the roast and I find the cinnamon sorbet brilliant, as well as very good. There isn't much to recommend about the wines: it's not the classic wine list place, but you can still drink good table wine: in our case a Bonarda. All in all I was really thrilled with it. For those who have never been there, you cannot get by car in front of the entrance door: you need to walk at least ten minutes uphill or downhill depending on where you come from, also because the particularity of the Capannetta de Cianderlin is that all roads in San Fruttuoso lead here!
22/12/2024: Lovely place to get away from the frenzy of the city. Fixed menu consisting of cold cuts, cuculli, vegetable pies, the now legendary Genoese minestrone and ravioli with meat sauce, the second courses are roasts and Genoese top. The desserts deserve a special mention, in particular I had the pleasure of tasting the cinnamon sorbet, amazing! The portions are generous and the management is welcoming, friendly and accommodating.
