13/09/2025: Fantastic. I've been there for lunch and am returning for dinner...in October. Chef-prepared Ligurian cuisine. The owner, Marco, is a delightful, friendly person, a friend who makes you feel at ease, as well as being an excellent chef. His brother is also delightful. Like family. See you soon.

22/09/2025: A peculiar place. Numerous stalls with different cuisines. Italian, Japanese, burgers, Peruvian, etc. A lot of noise at peak times. They don't serve at tables. You order and pay, and when they call you, you pick it up.

19/09/2025: A must-see in Genoa. A market hall like something out of a movie.

23/09/2025: I was craving pasta carbonara and found this restaurant on Google. The pasta was good, although it could be better. The African waitress was very attentive. The other waitress (I think her name was Julia) kept yelling at her colleague and seemed stressed, then took it out on the customers. I find it incredible that they charge you 2 euros for filtered water, and then 1 euro for a cover. However, the price of the pasta and beer seemed reasonable (11 euros and 5 euros respectively). In short, the food was okay, but the service could be improved.

23/09/2025: A restaurant with quality dishes in the Genoa of yesteryear.

05/10/2025: Truly excellent mushroom-themed lunch, with the option of a special first course, an excellent mushroom risotto, upon our request. Perfect welcome. Absolutely recommended!

04/10/2025: My husband, my 13-year-old son, and I went to this restaurant. We each had an appetizer and a first course, mostly mushrooms. We had a wonderful time: excellent service, sublime food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We even met the chef, who came over to say hello and ask how things were going—a wonderful person. Excellent value. P.S. Even though my son has particular tastes, he found everything excellent, in his own words.

05/10/2025: The pastry shop's display is very attractive, with a wide selection. I'm not a big fan of sweets, but everything I've tasted so far has been delicious and beautiful. Congratulations!

02/09/2025: Try the savory turmeric brioche and you will find yourself in heaven.

17/09/2025: If you're looking for a simple place to dine, Rostio is for you. We're regulars now, and over time we've thoroughly savoured the quality of this place. The menu offers both restaurant and pizzeria options. The dishes are simple and traditional, but of excellent quality, flavourful and tasty, with excellent seafood options. The selection isn't huge, but each dish is expertly crafted and the portions are generous. The stuffed calamari is an offering I absolutely recommend! I find the fried seafood to be good, but it has deteriorated slightly over time, especially compared to the variety of fish, which is much less than it was a few years ago. For example, they no longer serve whole fish (I think they were red mullet, but they were excellent anyway). The bread is excellent. Unfortunately, the bruschetta is no longer served, but I hope it'll be reintroduced, perhaps on the discretionary menu, because I found it delicious, the best ever. The pizzeria is also very respectable, with crispy and tasty dough, good toppings, and the option to make some changes upon request. They recently introduced pinza, which has become quite trendy lately. The desserts are less exciting than the rest, but that doesn't mean they're bad quality: they're effortless to eat, I'd say. The atmosphere is sunny and rustic, with various indoor dining rooms, a veranda overlooking the countryside, and, in the summer when the weather permits, an outdoor terrace. The spaciousness of the space also makes it suitable for parties and large groups; I find it perfect for birthdays and get-togethers with friends.

15/09/2025: Great experience! The pizza is delicious, the staff is very friendly. The price is also 5-star. We'll definitely be back!

02/10/2025: A Chiavari institution. Food, wine, and service are guaranteed.

06/09/2025: Run by young people, very attentive to the customer, we had a very good time, both the food and the wine were good, friendly staff, very satisfied

09/08/2025: The atmosphere is very nice and clean, and the staff is very friendly. I tried the brioche and the raspberry flake. The pastry was very good, crispy, and buttery just right, made with good-quality ingredients.

08/08/2025: The best cake we've ever eaten! Also the pansuise for breakfast, the brioche with cream, everything very good! Congratulations!!!! We'll be back!

30/09/2025: Wonderful drinks and an amazing owner's dog keeping company to the guests outside

03/09/2025: I was there the day before yesterday night waiting for my train at 4 am so I went to the bar the guy working there was very kind and the service was great

22/07/2025: We ate everything fish-based, with numerous hot and cold seafood appetizers that were truly delicious, not to mention the first courses and the grilled meat. A few days later, my son's birthday was celebrated with twenty of us, all super happy and treated wonderfully! Marco, July 20, 2025.

23/08/2025: Very talented Peruvian chef, mixed Peruvian/Italian cuisine. Very, very high quality. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very cute place inside with excellent jazz music in the background. Definitely worth returning.

12/09/2025: 13:20 on Friday, with almost 70% free table "we are closed" while people were eating..

11/09/2025: The food was excellent, you can feel the quality and expertise of a family restaurant. The decor is warm and welcoming, you immediately feel at home. Special mention for the seafood pasta 🦞, absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place!
