Trattoria Giovanelli In Genova

Characteristic place, worth returning to, good focaccia and pesto

The cheese focaccia is excellent

Lunch break for work. It's not the first time I've come here for lunch, and the food is always excellent. Plus, today they were very busy, but the service is always excellent. They found us seats, brought our dishes very quickly, and the quality of the food is superb.

In the 1950s and 1960s, family and friends often went to eat at Giovannelli. Besides, there was dancing—there was an outdoor dance floor—and a friend of mine sang. This friend's name was Neviada, her real name was Anna Maria Bianchi. Who remembers? My father gorged himself on snails!!!!

An excellent experience at Trattoria Giovanelli. The food was truly top-quality: the artichoke stew was tender and flavorful, while the Genoese minestrone was authentic and rich, just as tradition demands. Impeccable service, with friendly and attentive staff, without being intrusive. The atmosphere is simple yet welcoming, ideal for those seeking authentic cuisine without frills. A place where you can eat well and experience the true atmosphere of a Ligurian trattoria. Recommended.

A friendly, welcoming, old-fashioned trattoria. Excellent appetizers and homemade ravioli. Served with an excellent ragù.

Lunch with former co-workers, entirely seafood-based. A family-friendly place, like the relationship with the waiters, always friendly and helpful...

A trattoria like few others around: it serves typical Genoese cuisine: pesto, ragù, ravioli, tagliolini—basically, all homemade, just like it used to be. The pesto is very good, but the other sauces are equally as good. I'm disappointed by the 4 or 5 main courses, including side dishes. I've returned after years, and I must say it always lives up to expectations. The place is a bit retro, but clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The service is friendly, courteous, and you almost never have to wait. The portions are generous. There's a small private parking lot near the trattoria, but it can fit 5 or 6 cars; otherwise, there are plenty of them on the street outside. During the week, they offer a fixed-price menu for workers, and on weekends, you spend a little more, but you get much more. I was there again at Easter, and I must say I ate well. The place was packed. I recommend booking.

Trattoria Giovannelli ..via Trasta 40 ...it is an old trattoria located after a small bridge that separates it from the road..here the atmosphere is informal and they serve Ligurian cuisine at truly honest prices..here the atmosphere is almost family and you are served with such kindness, the dishes are truly authentic and the service is fast and perfect with generous portions. They are perfect for those who want to eat differently from the usual while enjoying a truly tasty meal. Recommended here are the snails which must be ordered..but there are also delicious ravioli,..the cima alla genovese,..the stokke,..and many other delicious dishes. At the end of the meal comes...the tart,..or the cake with cream and fruit....or the fruit salad and finally the coffee..
