I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina ligure in Genova

30/10/2025: We went for lunch. The place is nice, but it's a swanky farmhouse restaurant and it's too expensive for being served with plastic plates and cutlery. Gourmet cuisine in a farmhouse restaurant is ridiculous. €80 per person for "tastes"??? But the most ridiculous thing is that if you want to reserve a table on the veranda, you have to send a deposit, and if you cancel, you lose it. It's not like Cracco was the chef. I'd say this is a place to avoid. Instead, go to Cavi di lavagna al melograno and you'll eat amazing food.

29/10/2025: After hearing so much about this agri-restaurant, I decided to try it, taking advantage of a truffle-themed evening. The location is truly beautiful, the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, I'll stop here, as we had several issues with the service: dirty cutlery; being the first to arrive at the event, we had to wait for the other guests to arrive, after which we were served last only after we pointed out they'd forgotten about us. After the first course, we waited 50 minutes for the first course and another 20 for the second course. For dessert, a fior di latte gelato, unfortunately with ice in it, was brought to us only one, and again, the second course was brought to us only after we requested it. The menu presented is unusual, but adding a few truffle shavings isn't enough to make a dish exceptional. I also shared my point through the feedback requested at the end of the dinner. So, considering the journey to get here and the cost of the meal, it's not worth the effort. I'm truly sorry!

22/10/2025: A great find! During our Ligurian weekends, we loved it the first time, so we wanted to return. Located in the historic center, this restaurant offers traditional local cuisine, flavorful dishes, and generous portions. I loved the fritto misto and the cod fritters. It's a very popular, welcoming place, with very efficient and friendly staff. When you sit down, a basket of delicious focaccia is immediately waiting for you. The desserts are also very good. Pizza is also available. Excellent value. I definitely recommend it.

19/10/2025: We had dinner with ravioli with amberjack (fantastic!), spaghetti with seafood (fantastic), mixed fried fish and tender and sweet grilled calamari, all cooked to perfection! Highly recommended.

17/10/2025: Had dinner on Thursday 16/10 and luckily found a place... Ligurian-style octopus, black and white gnocchi with fish ragù and... stuffed anchovies... top, very fair price and very attentive and courteous staff.

17/10/2025: Ugo is always a guarantee. When our Tuscan friends come to visit, we always go here because it's a great place and the food is divine. Last week was no exception. Fettuccine with pesto, amazing stuffed anchovies, excellent fried fish. Sacripantina and Camatti to top off a fantastic dinner. Fair prices!

05/11/2025: Fantastic pizza and location!! I don't like shift service; I want to be free to leave whenever I want when I go out to eat.

31/10/2025: Excellent lunch with typical Genoese first courses (but don't forget the pansoti). A charming location next to the funicular terminus. Excellent service and very fair prices, especially considering the location.

08/11/2025: Informal atmosphere, attentive and kind staff, typical Ligurian cuisine, top pansoti and trofie..., I recommend

02/11/2025: Well, there's not much to add to the 5-star rating: excellent, homemade cuisine, exquisite and friendly service, and a unique seaside setting!! Highly recommended; not going would be a waste.

30/10/2025: Terrible experience. I was there one evening this summer. We arrived just before 9 PM, having booked a quarter of an hour in advance. We literally waited an hour for some trofie. The waiters, innocently I imagine, tried to curb the pain by apologizing, but we weren't told either on the phone when we booked or when we ordered that there would be a wait. Finally, at the cash register, the owner (I presume) didn't even look at us or apologize, and we weren't even offered a liqueur or a small discount (say).

13/10/2025: Trattoria Paladini in Santa Margherita Ligure is a true gem of Ligurian cuisine. The atmosphere is authentic and welcoming, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the dishes showcase local tradition with simplicity and flavor. The fish is always fresh, the portions generous, and the quality is consistent. A must-visit for those seeking a genuine gastronomic experience, accompanied by impeccable service and excellent value. Highly recommended.

21/10/2025: The food is friendly, delicious, and the seafood is fresh. It pairs well with white wine.

18/10/2025: Friendly, clean place, I ate excellent cod, good raw materials, the place is very welcoming there is also a terrace...romantic

27/10/2025: We stumbled upon it by chance after a visit. Welcoming atmosphere, very kind and helpful staff. Excellent food.

24/10/2025: A beautiful restaurant with traditional Ligurian cuisine. Highly recommended to eat here.

26/10/2025: We come back as often as we can. The best cheese focaccia and farinata in Genoa. The staff are exquisite.

23/10/2025: One of the best cheese focaccias in the city. I've tried several dishes over the years, and what can I say, they're always delicious. Quick service and friendly staff. The almond and salted caramel pudding is my new favorite dessert.

19/09/2025: Really delicious. Home cooking with a restaurant twist.

05/09/2025: My colleagues and I had dinner at this restaurant and had a great time! The green pizza with delicious mushrooms and the homemade desserts were delicious :) Highly recommended!

09/10/2025: Fair prices, very good food, atmosphere could be improved.

29/09/2025: Relax and good traditional food, excellent prices

22/10/2025: Home cooking...excellent dishes

17/10/2025: A classic 1960s restaurant typical of the Ligurian hinterland, with extremely efficient and prompt service and a typically Ligurian welcome. The cuisine is medium-low, for those who are happy and on a budget. It's like eating at home, but grandma did her shopping at a discount store. No prices displayed. If you happen to pass by and forget to bring your own sandwich, it's fine.

03/11/2025: The freshest seafood I have had in a long time! We had mussels, pasta vongole and fritto misto. Everything was simply prepared but with such fresh ingredients, that is exactly what is needed. A lovely waitress somehow managed to run the whole lunch service by herself, everything being served fast, without mistakes to a room full of what looked like happy regular customers. Perfect lunch! Thank you!

10/10/2025: Very tasty, authentic fish cuisine. They have very fine fish dishes. The service is attentive and the atmosphere is authentic. It filled up quickly; we were lucky to get a table; I think a reservation is worthwhile.

14/10/2025: Everything was delicious. The wait was quite long.

01/10/2025: Probably one of the worst veal tonnato dishes. The steak was ordered rare, but it arrived on the grill well done. The bill was €55 for an appetizer, steak, side dish, and coffee, which was definitely overpriced given the quality of the food.

15/10/2025: If you want to eat real Ligurian cuisine

28/09/2025: Beppa is always Beppa and never disappoints. Not a place for snobs, but for those who love simple, traditional Ligurian cuisine. Very fair prices. Fast, friendly service. Do I have to say I'll be back again and again? Yes, I will.
