I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina ligure in Genova

17/05/2026: I had lunch at Lo Stella restaurant in Portofino and was truly thrilled. The dishes were incredibly fresh, with authentic flavors and a quality that shone through in every course. I ate wonderfully: everything was carefully crafted, from the fish to the presentation. The service was also impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, perfect for enjoying a special lunch in Portofino. Highly recommended, I'll gladly return!

17/05/2026: Very disappointed with this restaurant. The prices are very high for the tiny portions. The service is adequate, but the value for money is simply not there. It has a lovely location in Portofino, but that's not enough to justify the bill. I don't recommend it. It's clearly a tourist trap.

28/03/2026: Very good restaurant, both for the cuisine and the cellar

09/03/2026: A warm welcome, a traditional atmosphere with a roaring fireplace, excellent food, and a fair price. In short, highly recommended! Livio. M.

29/04/2026: We came last night and it was a pleasant surprise! Fresh fish and everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly. Excellent value for money.

10/05/2026: A totally out of this world bill. For goodness sake, €86.00 for two for: 2 appetizers 1 first course 1 second course 2 desserts 2 coffees 1/2 liter of horrible red wine. It seems a bit excessive. Maybe I'm wrong.

10/04/2026: Excellent cuisine and hospitality, highly recommended

07/04/2026: Friendly, professional, exceptional view of Santa, truly pleasant atmosphere. The scampi alla Batti are always top notch. Even though it's changed its name, it's still a guarantee.

06/04/2026: We went for lunch on Easter Monday, the food wasn't bad, but it was really slow, I probably wouldn't go back.

24/12/2025: We ordered both a first course and some focaccia and farinata. The service was really friendly and fast. The food was amazing, very cheesy, and the portions were just right. We celebrated Ama Jo's birthday beautifully.

02/12/2025: Intimate and discreet restaurant with traditional and original quality dishes.

02/05/2026: Enchanting location, nestled in the peaceful woods. Super helpful and friendly staff, excellent food. Recommended!

04/04/2026: Everything was delicious, excellent service, wonderful location and atmosphere!

21/05/2026: Absolutely terrible. The food is not even close to worth the price. On top of that as I was eating, a young pregnant woman came in to use the bathroom clearly a emergency situation. And the owner followed her into the bathroom and bang on the bathroom door until she opened it and scolded her, yelling at her in front of everyone "how dare you" for using the bathroom before becoming a customer. And continued to yell and berate her. The girl left in tears. Absolutely disgusting. Everywhere I've seen in Italy seems to be the most baby friendly country in Europe. The owner here is absolutely disgusting. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS

20/05/2026: Save your money and time. You’re welcome

22/03/2026: Welcoming atmosphere and exquisite dishes Very friendly staff Highly recommended

09/02/2026: Excellent food, carefully prepared and truly excellent. Interesting dishes and generous portions. Fairly priced. The place is a bit dated, but welcoming.

18/04/2026: If you're looking for the true soul of Liguria, this trattoria in San Desiderio is a must-see. As soon as you step inside, you're enveloped in a magical, bygone atmosphere: the place is beautiful and meticulously crafted. It's a small museum of memories: the beautiful tube radios that decorate the rooms, the old birdcages, and the many antiques that tell the story of our region are all beautiful. It's more than just a restaurant; it's a place that warms the heart. The food is a triumph of traditional Genoese cuisine: authentic dishes, expertly prepared with the finest ingredients. The service was impeccable: the staff were kind, attentive, and highly knowledgeable. A gem on the hills above Genoa that I highly recommend to anyone who loves quality and tradition. I'll definitely be back!

03/04/2026: We had lunch at this typical Genoese restaurant to celebrate my dad's birthday. We ate well, I can't say otherwise, but there were some areas where it could be improved. For appetizers, we chose panissette and cuculli, a dry and crispy fried dish, but a bit bland. The best choice was the minced raw meat, served with several side dishes. The first courses were excellent; we tried pansoti with walnut sauce, pesto lasagna (not the smoothest, but a bit grainy, just the way I like it), and tagliolini with mushrooms and tuna, a truly beautiful dish. For the second course, we sampled a generous and delicious fried calamari and artichokes, while the Italian-style fritto misto, which we had high hopes for, was a disappointment: for €22, it consisted almost entirely of vegetables; the only piece of meat was a 4x4 cm steak, along with a small piece of ham and cheese. Dessert was brought to us at the end of the meal, after the birthday cake: not exactly a good choice, given that one of the dish's strengths is the combination of flavors. Overall, it was a good lunch, although quite pricey: €50 per person, but not everyone chose three courses, and we brought our own dessert. The fried appetizer, in particular, at €8, is excessive; after all, we're talking about flour and water. The atmosphere is welcoming and familiar, and the staff was very courteous; perhaps the younger waiters need a little more experience. There's a small parking lot at the entrance, so I suggest grouping diners in as few cars as possible.
