Vegia Òstàia Da o Pöulu In Genova

Last Wednesday, we dined at this charming trattoria, located directly across from the Genova Costa train station in Sestri Ponente. It was featured in the latest edition of Alessandro Borghese's Quattro Ristoranti, a special dedicated to the best restaurants with fresh pasta workshops. The location is simple, but with a beautiful summer terrace surrounded by greenery. It offers simple cuisine, but with an excellent selection of ingredients. The wine list is very interesting, with excellent value, including an excellent Grillo Vigne di Mandrianova 2022 from the Alessandro di Camporeale winery in Camporeale (PA), which paired perfectly with the dishes. We first shared the mixed antipasto, including freshly made farinata, sardenaira, brandacujuïn, and marinated anchovies. We then continued, each choosing the tagliatelle verde al ragù bianco (onion, carrot, and meat) as our first course, which was truly excellent. For main courses, we had Ligurian-style rabbit and braised beef in Nizza, served with baked potatoes. Both dishes were delicious! Finally, the desserts, both homemade and incredibly simple, included a panna cotta with rose syrup and a light lemon cake. A glass of water and two coffees rounded out a truly delicious dinner, bringing the bill to €95 for two, which is extremely reasonable considering the quality of the dishes we enjoyed. It goes without saying that this place is highly recommended; we can't wait to return! Bravo!

Excellent food and friendly, prompt service. Beautiful location with a large outdoor area where kids can play without any worries!

Classic dishes made very well, fair prices, highly recommended

Located behind the railway and the buildings, in a green, almost agricultural setting, with the beautiful hills of Sestri Ponente in the background, it has a lovely outdoor lawn and even a glimpse of the sea in the distance. The staff is very kind and friendly, and the traditional Ligurian dishes (farinata, stockfish, brandacujun, rabbit, sardenaira, etc.) are carefully prepared. Definitely recommended for enjoying typical Ligurian cuisine in a classic osteria setting. Reservations are recommended, as seating is generally limited.

"We had a wonderful experience at this little osteria on the hills above Sestri! The food is so fresh and delicious, from appetizers to dessert. Parking is available right outside and the staff is extremely friendly. We highly recommend booking in advance, as the place is small and fills up quickly. The only small downside was the slightly high price, but we still had an unforgettable evening, spending about €85 per couple."

The excellent dishes are accompanied by a relaxing atmosphere both for the location and for the affability of the staff. Recommended!

A few meters from the train station (stop) called GENOVA COSTA DI SESTRI PONENTE. Unfortunately, due to the construction of this railway system, the level crossing has been eliminated and therefore it is necessary to make an permitted detour to reach the tavern

Excellent food but poor service

Excellent cuisine, friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent food and wine...we'll see you again very soon...

Si mangia molto bene. La sera in cui siamo stati i piatti erano prevalentemente di pesce. Ravioli au tuccu, stoccafisso e tiramisù eccelsi. Nel giardino abbiamo trovato delle meravigliose lucciole e accanto un bellissimo asino. Personale gentile
