Sa Pesta In Genova

Typical Genoese trattoria. Hospitable environment. Advised

We got tipped by some locals to eat over there. We came in and were warm welcomed (also in English) the waitress didn't really speak English but that was not a problem at all. She let us try many things to really get the taste! So lovely!! The food was amazing and we had a great night enjoying the Italian warmth and deliciousness! Definitely go there!!

Old-fashioned environment that reflects old Genoa. Excellent food and generous portions. Quick service and friendly staff. Mrs. Francesca is very very nice. We have booked for another time where we will introduce the place to a couple from Puglia. (We hope that Mrs. Francesca will be on duty that evening with her her bracelets!!)

I worked in Genoa for 15 years, now I've been away for a year and a half, and this is always one of my go-to places so returning to Genoa for a friend's birthday was a must. But unfortunately the dinner on January 10th at Sa Pesta was a disappointment. First of all, the service: we order a bottle of white wine and we are told that the cellar is turned off, a house wine that we don't like is offered, we have to insist on putting the bottle in the freezer and the bottle is then served to us upon our request, at already brought to the table, without even a bucket of ice. I then order a house starter and stuffed anchovies and everything is brought to me together with the result that I ate the last few things cold. Instead, we had to ask for the stuffed vegetables that my friend ordered after the farinata twice because they never arrived. The food was very anonymous, stuffed with vegetables with little vegetable and an immense potato-based filling, the same that I will find in stuffed anchovies, it should be noted that I was served 4 fillings with a mountain of potato and placed on top of a single skimpy fillet, not even the classic stuffing between the two anchovy fillets, whose flavor was therefore non-existent. All of this, with two desserts which were perhaps the best dish, for 40 euros each, not even a slight discount for the hot wine. In short, on the next trip to my beloved Genoa, I don't think I'll stop off at Sa Pesta.

Very good farinata, like the waitress.

For service, dishes and atmosphere, all were so wonderful 👍 Because I was alone, I asked them if I could have half of the dish, they are so kind to offer me this service! I want to taste different traditional foods and all of them were so delicious! I could see the clients enjoy so much for the dish and for atmosphere too 😄 it's ok for dogs too! By the way, because the dishes were so good so I want to try their desserts, and I took out, the Sacripantina cake, sponge cake with two types of cream inside and some alcohol, so tasty! I recommend it!

Farinata delicious like all the other dishes I recommend it

What can I say, I really liked everything, very good local food, excellent service, rustic restaurant-type environment as I like honest prices, plus I thank you again, super kind, they offered me a plate of plain pasta for the child, which has never happened to me in any restaurant!!!!

Proviamo questo ristorante per cena , La location mi piace molto perché davvero caratteristica e tipica , La farinata buonissima davvero Le altre torte meno piacevoli Seppie davvero saporite e appaganti Il resto nella media . Pane forse non proprio fresco ma focaccia buona . Camerieri gentili ma troppo frettolosi e ansiosi . Per me resta un grande "no" per i dolci che ho trovato un po' dozzinali . Alla fine nei miei giorni a Genova ho mangiato meglio in altri locali ma in generale non è affatto un locale da bocciare.

Farinata TOP ..non è la prima volta ma ogni volta una conferma!!! Minestrone squisito !!le ragazze ai tavoli simpatiche e alla mano ..prenotare con anticipo ..NE VALE LA PENA
