Zeffirino In Genova

A wonderful experience, a historic Genoa restaurant, an elegant location with meticulous attention to detail. Kudos to the staff for the service, truly kind and professional, yet unobtrusive. A friend of mine tried the Zeffirino cheese focaccia with pesto and was amazed, so he complimented the kitchen. A few minutes passed, and Marco Zeffirino showed up at our table and sat down with us for a chat. He then brought us another portion of pesto, so I could try it with another friend. It was delicious, all accompanied by bread and focaccia. The evening continued beautifully. We enjoyed the appetizer, then moved on to the first courses. I had the tagliolini with lobster, and for the second course, the Ligurian-style catch of the day. We finished dinner with a delicious tiramisu made fresh in front of me, coffee, and Irish whiskey, in honor of the Peaky Blinders. Special thanks to Marco Zeffirino for his availability, a truly excellent host, we will definitely see you again.

Best pesto in Genoa (and anyone who says otherwise is dishonest), friendly service, quality products, and kudos to the chef because he reminded me of the ragù my grandmother used to make ❤️

Amazing food, spectacular staff. Highly recommended for anyone who’s visiting Genova ❤️ Thank you guys for a beautiful evening yesterday - cannot wait to come back.

Upon arriving at ZEFFERINO, guests immediately sense the soul of the place through the echoing sounds that reveal the joy this establishment has brought its patrons since its opening in 1939! The staff seems to have been there since the beginning; they carry the flame! The dishes are sublime, some prepared right before your eyes. The service is impeccable. The owner keeps a watchful eye and greets you before you leave! A must-visit in Genoa.

It was a magical night with high quality food and service, nice and friendly personnels. Highly recommended!

Definitely a beautiful restaurant, with excellent service, both in terms of the wine list and cuisine. The pesto mandilli were beautifully presented, but the taste was below average compared to other restaurants I've tried. The crudités were very fresh, but in small quantities. The desserts were excellent. The price was high, I think only because of the location.

A truly outstanding restaurant! We attended a pesto-making class followed by a meal. The staff and the owner were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent, and the location was truly unique and authentic! Highly recommended!

Exceptional welcome, service and quality. A very high-level establishment that I highly recommend.

I don't know if it's valid, but I've been to this restaurant several years ago but haven't reviewed it. Today, seeing a post from a friend of mine, I decided to review it. What can I say? The name speaks for itself. I had a great time, the food was excellent, and the service was perfect. It's an absolute must-visit for anyone passing through Genoa. Congratulations

A historic restaurant in the center of Genoa, you can feel the owner's love and passion as soon as you enter. The open kitchen is always a treat, but even more so are their dishes, meticulously prepared and exquisite. The tableside preparation of some dishes is enchanting, and the staff is highly qualified and well-trained, but above all, attentive to the customer's needs. The quality of the ingredients used is excellent. I think I've tasted the best pesto I've ever tasted. All the dishes were a delight. The prices are slightly above average, but the quality and service make up for it. I absolutely recommend trying it; we'll definitely be back. Congratulations on everything.
