I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina ligure in Genova

06/08/2025: This evening we dined at the Trattoria Maria in Genoa's harbor, near the pirate ship. The restaurant is busy and has a traditional feel with a good atmosphere. The service is very attentive, I must say, and very friendly too! The food... where should I start? Pizza... wow, one of the best we've ever eaten. I had the Pizza Pulpo, with octopus, and my wife had the Pizza Tonno. My son was addicted to the ravioli, as you can see from the picture... and before that, we had a mixed fish platter that was worth every cent. The taste is top-notch! I give this restaurant 5 stars, and if it were possible, it would give it 6!

28/07/2025: Everything is delicious and at a great price.

19/06/2025: Abbiamo scoperto questo ristorante a Natale per un pranzo in compagnia con gli amici della squadra di vela. Ne eravamo rimasti entusiasti ed abbiamo voluto provare a venire in coppia questo weekend. La sensazione é invariata. Il locale é rustico e semplice, in posizione tranquilla poco distante dalla S.P. che collega Genova a Carasco. Il menù é l'espressione della tradizione ligure con i ravioli (presentati anche con diversi sughi, oltre al "tuccu"), le lasagna e le tagliatelle. Secondi a base di carne dall'arrosto alla cima passando dal Coniggiu alla ligure. Le materie prime si sente che sono "a Km 0". Possibile anche l'antipasto con panissa, affettati ed insalata russa. Dolce fatto in casa. Rapporto qualità prezzo davvero ottimo. Consiglio di provarlo se amate la cucina ligure e volete mangiare bene spendendo il giusto.

09/06/2025: Su consiglio degli amici siamo venuti qui in questo posticino in mezzo al verde ed è stata un’ottima esperienza in quanto come primi piatti darei subito un 10 per i ravioli ai “tuccu …” fantastici ! Poi a seguire l’agnello e la cima con un favoloso dolce o frutta fresca con gelato, e per concludere caffè e ammazza caffè. Quindi che dire andateci di corsa …! 😂👍😜

28/07/2025: Very beautiful landscape. The food is ok and the staff is very kind

22/07/2025: A lovely, quaint restaurant, simple and tasteful. The food is good and varied, with some typical local recipes. Good value. Worth a try.

14/08/2025: Lunch in August. The food was okay, but nothing special, and the portions were too small compared to other places in the area that offer similar services, even though the prices are the same. A good eater won't be satisfied with a full menu.

12/08/2025: What a great restaurant: food, service, atmosphere - we enjoyed it all! We had dinner here twice on our vacation in SML, great choices for everyone and perfect opportunity to try some traditional Ligurian dishes. We received very helpful recommendations from our server Igor who is knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and patient (some of us have a hard time making decisions). The menu of the day is always a great choice, and everything we tried was top notch.

02/04/2025: Agriturismo Chiara ..via Arzeno 41 ..Arzeno province of Genoa. We are located on the hilly area between Chiavari and Lavagna...in a very welcoming place...with friendly staff who are always available for any eventuality. Here at the table you will see very abundant and excellent quality dishes arrive, the menu is always varied and very tasty, accompanied by good wines and excellent desserts... at the end. I would say that at the end of lunch or dinner you are left fully satisfied... and all you have to do is give some well-deserved compliments to the owner. I must say the price is all too honest... it ranges from 20 to 30 euros... more than that what could you wish for. I recommend it to all groups who come to Liguria for a change of scenery and to eat well in complete tranquility. And to families with children because this farmhouse is truly worth it also for the great view of the mountains and the sea.

30/03/2025: Locale carino , personale gentilissimo. Rapporto qualità/ prezzo ottimo . Consiglio dall’antipasto al dolce 25 euro, compreso grappa o limoncello. Ravioli fatti in casa al sugo di funghi , veramente consigliati . Da provare .

21/07/2025: Beautiful place in the cool of the Rapallo hinterland. Only now I'm making a comment... eh eh I went there one evening in July 2017. There were four of us. It was packed [it was a Saturday]. A bit of a wait, but the food is always respectable and high-quality. Pansoti with walnut sauce, trenette with pesto, lasagna. I'll gladly return.

18/07/2025: Perfect in every way with a very high quality-price ratio

22/08/2025: A truly beautiful restaurant. I dined outside in a peaceful, carefully curated setting, with lots of plants and fairy lights. The staff were very friendly, the owner was original and charming, and the dishes featured traditional Ligurian and other dishes, including many vegetarian options and a wide selection of wines. I tried a little bit of everything, and it was all delicious! Definitely worth a try!

19/08/2025: Very welcoming staff and dishes prepared to perfection. Nothing compromises on quality. The salad features wild herbs picked that morning by the owner. The menu includes vegetarian and gluten-free options, clearly marked to avoid embarrassment. See you soon, keep it up!

20/08/2025: Excellent restaurant with a wide selection. The only downside is that there are no vegetarian appetizers or main courses; at least one or two dishes are worth adding. I'd recommend a few more desserts: panna cotta, crème brulee, cheesecake, meringue pie...

18/08/2025: Generous portions. I recommend the tartare, good with both mushrooms and truffles. We would have liked to have a first or second course, but we probably would have been luckier instead. We opted for the fried foods, which I don't recommend... generous but unfortunately poor quality. The ambiance itself is not bad, except for the very uncomfortable chairs. The waiters were kind but perhaps a little unknowledgeable about the wines. Our 30 euro entrée was served very warm. So, a fine trattoria with good food, but not up to the excessive price for a two-course dinner for two.

27/05/2025: Typical place, kind and knowledgeable staff, excellent food. Good and well cooked meat. I also tried the pasta with pesto, fabulous. A truly noteworthy pesto! I also recommend the cutlet for lovers of the genre because it is worth it. The desserts are delicious, especially the chocolate mousse!😻

16/04/2025: Excellent place, clean, always tidy and amazing food, excellent whatever dish you choose. I recommend it loudly. Don't miss it!!!!

05/08/2025: Another great discovery, everything good, friendly staff, prices ok 👍

13/07/2025: As always, top notch, good food, especially plentiful...

08/08/2025: We're on vacation in Rapallo, touring Liguria. Genoa was one of our stops, and after asking around, they recommended this place. They make fresh pasta, not industrial-style, and they cook it right in front of you. Takeout is available. We ordered a classic Genoese dish: Trofie al pesto, with green beans and potatoes. Everything was authentic, including the light pesto and the artisanal trofie. Each dish was 5.50, a fair price. I recommend it if you're passing through.

06/08/2025: Vera cucina genovese, the best... I can't wait to be back!

07/08/2025: We were in Genoa in August 2025 and discovered this small, unassuming restaurant by chance. The atmosphere was pleasantly relaxed, and the service was exceptionally friendly and attentive. The food was fresh, lovingly prepared, and simply delicious—by far the best we had during our stay in Genoa. A definite recommendation for anyone who appreciates authentic food and warm service.

07/08/2025: A wonderful little restaurant in Genoa. The staff is very friendly and attentive; they even set up an extra table for us because the terrace was already full. The food was excellent – the best and most authentic we've had in Genoa. I would go back anytime! A real insider tip that many tourists seem to have yet to discover.

23/06/2025: Ancient trattoria in the city centre, basic but courteous service, good food, modest price, I will return

20/06/2025: Fantastic farinata, good meat, excellent prices.

06/08/2025: Breve soggiorno nella bella Lavagna e...tappa d'obbligo da U Brunzin. Questa volta abbiamo gustato tagliolini al sugo di cicale (non facile da trovare) veramente...intriganti, a seguire salmone fresco al forno con contorno e ricciola alla ligure molto buoni. Leggera carenza nel servizio...ma ci può stare. Ci tornerei sempre comunque (specialmente quando fanno la farinata!)

06/08/2025: Cibo normale, la ragazza che serve al tavolo molto premurosa e gentile, purtroppo quando stavamo finendo la caraffa di vino è arrivato uno dei ragazzi, ha chiesto a chi versare il fondo perché aveva bisogno la caraffa?? MA SIAMO FUORI DAL MONDO? Se hai un ristorante compra una caraffa per tavolo? Peraltro non abbiamo consumato altro vino considerato che non hanno contenitori, o potevamo esercitare diritto di prelazione?

12/08/2025: After several years, we returned to this restaurant. It's been taken over by her daughters, and their mother is still in the kitchen. Everything is excellent.

31/07/2025: A very pleasant surprise. Excellent dishes. Superlative pesto. Nearby parking. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
