Pestobene In Genova

17/05/2026: We recently had dinner at La Cantina Clandestina and overall it was a really memorable experience. The atmosphere was one of the highlights of the evening — warm, lively, and cozy without feeling crowded. It has that authentic Genovese charm that makes you want to stay for hours enjoying good food and wine with friends. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the meal, always happy to offer recommendations and make sure everything was going well without being intrusive. The food was excellent from start to finish, especially the seafood dishes, which tasted incredibly fresh and well prepared. The wine selection also deserves special mention, with plenty of great options that paired perfectly with the meal. The only downside during the evening was the noticeable number of fruit flies around the table, which became a bit distracting at times while eating. It didn’t ruin the experience, but it was definitely something we noticed throughout dinner. Hopefully it’s an issue the restaurant can improve, because aside from that small inconvenience, everything else was fantastic. Overall, I’d still happily recommend La Cantina Clandestina to anyone looking for excellent seafood, and a welcoming atmosphere in Genova.
