I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina ligure in Genova

11/05/2026: Very friendly owner and knowledgeable staff Quality and niche dishes

03/05/2026: A charming restaurant. Aside from us, there were only locals. No one spoke English, which added to the atmosphere. The menu was written on a chalkboard. There were several vegetarian options. The food, coffee, and desserts were amazing. Delicious! The prices are the same as everywhere else.

30/11/2025: Super digestible pizza and excellent food quality...super fast home delivery. I absolutely recommend it 🙂

20/10/2025: It's become my new favorite pizzeria! The pizzas are really good; I've never felt heavy or thirsty overnight. They have a variety of flavors, many of which are truly unique. I've been ordering here for a few years now, and the quality of the pizzas hasn't changed. The pizza ordering service is also truly excellent; they're always friendly, and the pizzas always arrive on time (sometimes even early), and compared to many other pizzerias, the wait times are truly minimal. I now recommend them to everyone. My compliments!

12/04/2026: Today I went to Jolanda's for the second time, fresh off the excellent debut the previous time, and I started with high expectations. But the "don't order the same dishes" rule unfortunately took hold here too! Since we both ordered pesto lasagna (there were two of us), we found ourselves with a smaller portion than the previous time, when there was only one order of the same dish! Even worse was the Italian-style fried food, which I initially ordered for one person, but I added the second course after finishing the first course. Result: one portion arrived, and a little bit of it, which they passed off as two! A few moments later, a double fried food arrived at the next table. If I had already noticed, comparing it with the other people's dishes confirmed every faint doubt I had... they weren't two portions!!! That said, both courses were good, the pesto was excellent, but they still left a bitter taste in my mouth. Grand finale: when the waitress asked if everything was okay, I stated no, that the food was excellent, but the portions weren't as good as the previous time. Hearing this, the waitress told me she was going to pass on my criticism. I went to pay and it was the same waitress listing the dishes I'd ordered to the owner of the place. I thought to myself...now he'll give me a little discount, or better yet, let the owner know about my criticism...not at all...she simply listed what we'd ordered: two starters (poor), two main courses that were one and a little piece, and a bottle of water, no wine, no dessert, no coffee! At this point, the owner looked at us and told us 58 euros, and when I was about to pay, he told me 57!!!! Sometimes it takes very little to avoid a situation, but many times you don't get there!

05/04/2026: Well, the mandilli are truly top-notch, but the Ligurian-style rabbit really moved me. It's a trattoria, but in the best possible way. Few dishes, but well-structured and with satisfying portions. Recommended for understanding the qualities of a trattoria that captures the history of the Ligurian Apennines.

11/04/2026: There is no menu with prices in this restaurant

04/04/2026: Stunning and welcoming historic venue

06/05/2026: Excellent restaurant. Family-run, extremely professional. But above all, Pansoti ravioli and homemade pasta, #1 in the city in our opinion.

03/05/2026: After ordering at 9:30 PM, we waited an hour and a half and received nothing. Out of politeness, we weren't even offered an appetizer while we waited, and the bread basket arrived empty, with only packaged breadsticks. We left the table at 11:00 PM without having eaten anything and left. A terrible experience, not recommended.

04/04/2026: Nice place right in the city center. They serve excellent quality dishes for lunch.

24/02/2026: Comfortable atmosphere, friendly, polite, and very helpful staff. Lunches are always delicious; I especially like breakfast with their sandwiches.

29/04/2026: Recommended by the hotel, but the calamari wasn’t fresh and the service was hostile. plenty of better options nearby

28/04/2026: The staff was very unfriendly, the food wasn’t that good. Overall not a nice experience at all, I don’t recommend it.

21/03/2026: Great food , this place works when all other places are closed.

17/02/2026: The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Even though we showed up at 3 PM, they were willing to prepare the dishes we requested and that were on the menu. The place is divided into two shops, one serving as a deli and one serving as a restaurant, making it very convenient for a quick but tasty lunch. We were very satisfied. We will definitely be back!

20/03/2026: Excellent family restaurant where I go very often. The fried meat and seafood is always excellent and dry, the first courses are excellent, ravioli and pansoti are top notch, the fish always good. It's certainly not a place for a master chef, but if I go out to eat and find a clean, tidy, welcoming place with excellent value, I'll go back. Reading many reviews, I'm amazed. If you want a chic, modern place and want to spend 100 euros, go elsewhere. If you want to eat well in a setting that may be a bit retro but is clean and well-kept, this is the place for you. Kudos also to all the staff for their helpfulness and friendliness. If you sometimes have to wait a bit, be patient. They don't have a fast food sign outside.

18/02/2026: What a shame, really. An excellent culinary offering, featuring all the signature dishes of Ligurian cuisine, was literally thrown away due to the disorganization in the dining room and the resulting biblical waits before being served. I've been to this restaurant several times in the same week because I was staying in Chiavari for personal reasons. Whether it was a busy weekend or a quiet weekday, the common denominator has always been the slow service: a plate of ravioli, a veal cutlet with chips, and a dessert served in an average of an hour and a half. It's a shame, because the price is also highly competitive. The waiter is also smart and fast, but the problem clearly lies between him and the kitchen. I can't explain it any other way. Anyway, I repeat, in case you haven't figured it out, the food is very good.

13/04/2026: Despite its name, this traditional Ligurian trattoria is worth a visit. Authentic cuisine, typical dishes, and a healthy, down-to-earth atmosphere. The quality and price are balanced and affordable, and the welcome is friendly and approachable. Fast service.

07/04/2026: Easter lunch to forget. 13 people, including 5 children. Hunger-inducing portions; for example, the ravioli didn't cover the bottom of the plate, and the mixed fried food consisted of 1 stick, 1 semolina, and 1 vegetable. The lucky ones even got an apple. Half a roast beef, I mean, half a slice. Sitting piled high, my daughter had to get up every time someone besides her was served. I had a serious complaint about the bill because the calculations were wrong. The lady smokes while people sitting next to her are eating. Never again!

04/02/2026: Enjoyable lunch featuring traditional Ligurian dishes in a homey, comfortable atmosphere. Good value. Recommended!

07/01/2026: The focaccias were good, as always. I had the mixed Italian-style fried food. A tiny slice of chicken that I didn't try (I thought there was no meat, but my brother took it without realizing there was nothing else), and raw, very hard vegetables. It's a shame because a month earlier, at my son's birthday, everything went smoothly. The ravioli were good, but overcooked.

06/04/2026: I recently discovered La Mandragola and I must say it was a very pleasant surprise. Even though we hadn't booked in advance, the staff really went out of their way to find us a table, demonstrating great attention and helpfulness to their customers. A detail that truly makes all the difference today. The restaurant is very characteristic, with a typical Genoese atmosphere that you can feel as soon as you enter. It's well-kept, welcoming, and has an original touch: there's even a piano inside, which adds to the atmosphere. The dining experience was also excellent: we were given excellent advice on the wine selection, which perfectly matched our tastes, a sign of expertise and attention. The appetizers and main courses fully met our expectations, both in terms of quality and flavor. All this was accompanied by an absolutely fair price, considering the level of experience. It's definitely a place to return to and one I would recommend without hesitation.

05/04/2026: Lovely little restaurant in the small streets of Genoa. Staff are very friendly, very good service and great value for money, we had 3 courses each, with 2 alcoholic drinks and it came to 67€. Would definitely return! We were given free shots after our meal too.

14/12/2025: Terrible. We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation and were told to wait 10-15 minutes. After at least 20 minutes, what appeared to be the manager came out and told us it would be a bit longer because he didn't have any tables, and offered to sit at two different tables, one for six and one for three. (I'm going out with friends and family so we can sit at different tables, after all.) Naturally, we said yes and that we'd wait. (I also pointed out that I had two little girls, a 5-year-old and an 8-month-old, and that he'd been told the first time we'd had to go to work.) Having said that, he came out for the umpteenth time and almost blamed us for the fact that we'd been accepted for the reservation we'd made the day before for nine people at 1:30 PM. Crazy. I repeat. I've never seen anything like this, and I'll start by saying that I'm not one to write reviews, but I felt truly mocked for the simple fact that he never apologized, not even once. A special mention goes to one or two of the girls who work for him, who are definitely wasted. Thank you so much.

30/11/2025: Very good pizza! Small but very cute and well-kept place! Good value for money! Recommended!!

26/01/2026: Da Angelo is certainly no longer what I knew. The dishes served don't rise above mediocrity. Perhaps it was a quiet night, but the menu was rather limited. The service is inattentive, and the atmosphere is decidedly tired.

09/11/2025: Tourist restaurant where your taste buds will leave in bad shape.

07/10/2025: I was with my wife We ordered fish in wine, olive oil, olives and herbs My wife ordered. Curry and shrimp risotto Both dishes were excellent Very good service, highly recommend
