I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Genova

07/10/2025: Kind and professional, the cake I had made was delicious, as were the fresh and dried pastries.

08/08/2025: Everything was excellent, focaccia, bread, etc.

06/10/2025: Top aperitif, very kind staff, and above all, "appetizers" that are also great for dinner.

23/09/2025: The aperitifs here are truly spectacular! 🥂 The generous portions they bring with your drinks are so generous they practically replace dinner. The cocktails are delicious, carefully prepared, and always perfect. A special thanks goes to Michelle, the kindest and most charming waitress we've ever met: always smiling, attentive, and helpful... she'd almost become one of our family. 💛 Highly recommended, especially if you want to spend a pleasant evening with great food, drinks, and good company!

16/10/2025: EXCELLENT pizza!!!!! My son always wants to sit under the sign!!!!

04/10/2025: Everything is delicious and fresh, but the portions are very small.

17/08/2025: Quality products, I've tried better value for money... no. The most important thing for a customer is a smile and a good morning, which everyone appreciates, but the owner lacks this, I honestly prefer a smile and less aloofness. On the contrary, the sales assistant was kind, in a less than relaxed environment, that was my perception.

12/08/2025: I've had the pleasure of tasting the delicious cakes prepared by this historic pastry shop in Sestri on several occasions, and I immediately fell in love. The fresh pastries are equally excellent and high-quality. You absolutely must try the Mojito cake (or a single portion), which is probably only made in the summer. It's exceptional, perfect, and you can taste the flavors of all the ingredients, perfectly balanced. I love it!!! The owners and staff are always welcoming, friendly, and kind; you can see the passion they put into their work. Undoubtedly my favorite pastry shop in all of Genoa.

08/07/2025: Everything was great in Draft Pub ! It checks all the boxes. We were welcomed with a big smile, seated right away … the waiter took our order and the food arrived very quickly and well hot ! Maaaaaan the food was amaaaazing … I took Fish and Chips and my wife gnocchi pesto. It was so good that I took another plate, that arrived as quickly as the first ! Thanks to everyone in the Pub we had a great moment and for sure I’ll come back 🙏

11/07/2025: Located in the heart of the working-class neighborhood, this restaurant offers hearty cuisine and friendly service. We loved the trofie with pesto (made in-house!) and the trio of smoked raw fish.

04/07/2025: Delicious food!! And very friendly!! Highly recommend the restaurant!

12/10/2025: A historic Genoese restaurant, the owner Viviana is extremely kind and professional, always smiling, which is truly rare in Genoa. P.S. The aperitif was made to order with simple but quality appetizers.

05/10/2025: Nooo where has the previous management gone because you feel abandoned, they tell you they'll bring you two chips for the ape and nothing.... The service is terrible, what a shame after the aperitif it was my habit to literally eat the world. It was my favorite place.

09/11/2025: Very good! Excellent pasta dishes. Appetizers (fried food or ham) are perfect to start the meal. A friendly and helpful team. A great place to enjoy delicious local specialties.

26/10/2025: Are you in Rapallo and want some fish? DO NOT go to Papisca Mare! Mediocre food (and that's a compliment), very polite waiters, and an arrogant and rude owner. Not to mention the atmosphere: the tables on the street are like those at the bar next to the train station. An experience not to be repeated!

07/11/2025: Small but welcoming place, we booked with the fork, we ate quite well but not very good, the service is okay, the waiters are helpful and they even accommodated us with a dish off the menu

19/10/2025: The food was very tasty but the portion could be bigger, but I only ordered the main course so it was OK. The waiter was unfriendly and didn't thank me or even say goodbye.

23/09/2025: The structure is simple but clean and welcoming. The owners, a niece and aunt, are lovely, very helpful, and kind. You can have breakfast or lunch/dinner in the restaurant below the inn, and I recommend it for both the quality, the price, and the ambiance—it's also very beautiful!

22/08/2025: Friendly staff and spotlessly clean facility. Excellent value for money. Breakfast could be improved.

17/06/2025: I have never been to this place, a place to spend time with friends, the welcome was warm Professional staff I couldn't enjoy the food on the house The drinks are excellent, so much so that I left staggering Ah, make sure to take the step, I fell a couple of times 🍸 Try it to believe it

21/09/2025: Excellent Genoese cuisine. Simple, unpretentious place, very friendly owners, amazing zabaglione dessert!

19/09/2025: Great experience, absolutely delicious homemade Italian food. Thank you mama! I wish we could stay longer in the area.

02/11/2025: A place for young and old. The food and service are fast, always friendly, and helpful.

24/05/2025: Questo è un posto di casa, ci veniamo spesso con gli amici. Fanno da bere,da mangiare sono simpatici meglio del gallina non ce n'è

02/11/2025: Nightmare hotel so we don't even go to the restaurant because maybe they are the same owners dirty animals everything broken

25/08/2025: Dining at this restaurant was truly a pleasant surprise. The service was perfect: the owner was extremely kind and professional. The traditional Genoese dishes were well-prepared. Highly recommended.

14/07/2025: Situato in una stradina parallela al budello principale di Cogoleto questo ristorante, dall’esterno, non vi colpirà particolarmente con insegne luminescenti o cartelli pubblicitari ma, appena entrati, vi sentirete un po’ come a casa vostra. Non posso non partire dalla signora Ada, la vera storia di questo locale. Ci accoglie come fossimo degli abituè, amici di famiglia, vicini di casa. Ed è proprio così che ci si sente dopo qualche minuto passato insieme. La spiegazione dettagliata del menù non è la solita tiritera di piatti, ingredienti o elenco di materie prime … ogni piatto ci viene descritto insieme alla sua storia, i suoi aneddoti, la ricetta, il modo di come la signora Ada (o semplicemente Ada come lei vuole essere chiamata) lo cucina a casa sua. Questa accoglienza, così diversa da qualsiasi posto che ho frequentato in tutti questi anni, mi ha fatto innamorare di questo posto prima ancora di assaggiare una qualsiasi pietanza e ho già, sorprendentemente, l’acquolina in bocca. Siamo in quattro e ognuno di noi prende uno starter diverso. Il guazzetto di muscoli (cozze per i non Liguri), il Cenonno composto da una serie di piattini con assaggi mare e monti, caldi o freddi, polpo e patate, mentre io scelgo il piatto che avevo già visto sul loro sito web: code di gamberi avvolti nel lardo d’Arnad con stracciatella di burrata, semplicemente spaziali, cotti alla perfezione, con materie prime di altissima qualità, sono entrati di prepotenza nella mia personalissima top 10 di piatti più buoni mangiati nella mia vita ! Qui Ada, ci grazia della ricetta “casalinga” di questo piatto, semplicissima, rapidissima ma con ingredienti che devono essere necessariamente di ottima qualità ! Proseguiamo questa esperienza culinaria eccezionale, con i ravioli di burrata con pomodorini, basilico e acciughe di Cetara, delicatissimi, preparati alla perfezione e cotti al dente come piacciono a me. Finiamo con la “Tavolozza di dolci” tutti provenienti dalla Campania e Sicilia, uno più buono dell’altro. Io però ho scelto la delizia al limone tutta per me e ho fatto bene in quanto era veramente troppo golosa per condividerla con qualcuno. Di una cosa sono convinto adesso, il ristorante Nonno Cuoco è sicuramente la mia prima scelta a Cogoleto.

13/07/2025: Located on a narrow street parallel to the main street of Cogoleto, this restaurant may not particularly impress you from the outside with its neon signs or advertising, but as soon as you enter, you'll feel a little at home. I can't help but start with Signora Ada, the true story of this place. She welcomes us as if we were regulars, family friends, neighbors. And that's exactly how you feel after spending a few minutes together. The detailed explanation of the menu isn't the usual rigmarole of dishes, ingredients, or a list of raw materials... each dish is described to us along with its history, its anecdotes, the recipe, and the way Signora Ada (or simply Ada, as she prefers to be called) cooks it at home. This welcome, so different from any other place I've frequented in all these years, made me fall in love with this place before even tasting a single dish, and my mouth is already, surprisingly, watering. There are four of us, and we each choose a different starter. The mussel stew (mussels for non-Ligurians), the Cenonno, a series of small plates with hot and cold seafood and mountain appetizers, octopus, and potatoes, while I chose the dish I'd already seen on their website: shrimp tails wrapped in Arnad lard with burrata stracciatella. Simply out of this world, cooked to perfection, with the highest-quality ingredients, it's now firmly in my personal top 10 of the best dishes I've ever eaten! Ada, please share the "homemade" recipe for this dish—very simple, very quick, but with ingredients that must be top-quality! We continue this exceptional culinary experience with burrata ravioli with cherry tomatoes, basil, and Cetara anchovies—delicate, perfectly prepared, and cooked al dente, just the way I like them. We finish with the "Palette of Desserts," all sourced from Campania and Sicily, each one better than the last. I, however, chose the lemon delight all for myself, and I was right to do so, as it was truly too delicious to share. One thing I'm now convinced of: Nonno Cuoco is definitely my first choice in Cogoleto.
