Zeffirino In Genova

This place was absolutely exceptional, the food was amazing and the staff were extraordinary. The first impressions were fine dining but we were not dressed for the occasion. The staff made us feel very at ease and gave us great recommendations! We wanted pesto pasta from the region and we ordered off menu as they said they could accommodate at the time. This little touch and detail was something that usually doesn’t happen in restaurants, the food was absolutely sublime and the wine was very tasty. They pride themselves in creating a relaxed dining environment, they come to the table and finish serving the dish in front of your table. This was very impressive to watch and also some dishes came with their own twist. The owner/manager came around to ask how we found the service and also where we were from. This was very friendly and made us feel like we were welcomed as a customer! Great experience and we will be back! :) P.S lemon and Basil sorbet was incredible

After seeing the incredibly good reviews, my husband and I were excited to dine here. Unfortunately, my positive mood was dampened. We came without a reservation and got a table straight away, the service was also friendly. We sat down and were given a welcome drink, but no history of the restaurant. It seemed as if there was no interest in contacting us at all. While we were looking at the menu, the waiter came to us impatiently and wanted to take the order as quickly as possible, time pressure was inevitable. We ended up ordering wine and a main course each since we weren't that hungry. There was spaghetti with seafood and actually a lasagna with pesto. Instead of lasagna, simple pasta with pesto was served, which was delicious. The spaghetti, however, was barely salted and the seafood didn't seem fresh (perhaps from the freezer?). It was quite good, but definitely not worth €28 per dish. We actually wanted to end our evening on a nice note, but instead we just wanted to leave, without dessert, without anything. The restaurant is more of an illusion than a reality.

In Genoa for work, I discovered this restaurant while passing by. I didn't know him and as soon as I sat inside, I was told the story of this family of restaurateurs. Warm environment, efficient and courteous staff, and above all flavors of the highest level that make you want to order the whole menu!!!!!

A unique family experience, it will always remain a magnificent memory. From attention to detail to flavors of the past but treated with great elegance.

Historic restaurant famous throughout the world for its famous pesto and more, it is really worth trying. Open kitchen, very refined environment, adequate prices and the owner Marco, very kind. I recommend the desserts are top.

This restaurant, in the heart of Genoa, offers very refined and tasty dishes where Pesto becomes the true protagonist The instant preparation of the dishes is very impressive Advised

Excellent food. I recommend the trio of first courses with pesto. Efficient and friendly service

A beautiful restaurant with a lot of history, we ate wonderfully and the service was extraordinary, in fact we will return tomorrow!!! Today we had spaghetti a la marinera and another was a fresh pasta with Lobster both were EXQUISITE, and the millefeuille dessert DELICIOUS, good wine both white and red and a variety of very delicious breads accompanied by very delicious olive oil!!
