I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Genova

26/09/2025: A simple, typically Italian trattoria where the local craftsmen take a long lunch break at lunchtime. It's simple, it's loud, and you're right in the middle of it all! The food is excellent (spaghetti aglio & olio and spaghetti vongole), prepared promptly by two people, which is also a good thing. The house wine is excellent; this is a place for simple, delicious food and drink.

21/09/2025: A panoramic restaurant in Sant'Andrea di Rovereto, between Chiavari and Rapallo. It boasts a panoramic view of the Tigullio Bay. Excellent fresh grilled fish, plentiful and promptly served. The meat was also tasty and tender. We dined in the front garden, and the owner was very kind and helpful!

17/08/2025: Nice place by the sea, beautiful view, good service, and good food. What's not so great is that they don't apply the Fork discount transparently, excluding it (why?) from drinks and calculating the total without revealing it.

10/08/2025: We've been guests at this bistro on the Chiavari promenade several times, and have always left satisfied. It offers a good variety of burgers with top-quality meats and several vegetarian options. The dessert selection is also interesting, with an honorable mention for the vegan mousse. The beer selection is very tempting. Dogs are welcome, and water bowls are available.

19/10/2025: Discovered by chance today. Authentic Genoese dishes, delicious and light! I hadn't had such pesto mandilli in years, not to mention the Ligurian-style rabbit! The view is magnificent and the attentive staff treated us like family... What can I say, we'll definitely be back!

08/09/2025: Excellent venue with a fabulous location. We attended a wedding there and had a wonderful time. The dishes are excellent and elaborate.

23/09/2025: I was passing through Busalla with friends, and after searching on Google, we found the osteria and decided to go. The smell outside was already very inviting. We went in and were immediately greeted by Michela, who smiled and seated us and brought us drinks. Within five minutes, she showed us the menu and we ordered. The first and second courses were excellent, with generous portions and all of them top-quality. She was a wonderful and very kind person. We weren't eating in a restaurant; it felt like we were staying with friends. It was a truly beautiful place, very welcoming, and with excellent food. If I were to ever be in the area again, I know where to go. Dear Michela, greetings from the Sardinian people. Keep up the good work, you're amazing.

29/07/2025: The food was good, but the prices were perhaps a little above average. The service was friendly and helpful.

11/11/2025: Excellent focaccia and low prices

03/11/2025: We happened upon the area during a family vacation... and were pleasantly surprised! The pizza by the slice is excellent (the pesto one is truly delicious), but the shortcrust pastry desserts also won us over.

06/12/2025: Skip this restaurant, it's an experience you'll never forget. Genoa is large and full of much better restaurants. I paid too much for very low-quality food after waiting two hours.

06/12/2025: The wait is too long, and the food isn't worth the wait. The service definitely needs improvement, especially the girls' manners: if you're going to work with the public, it's best to learn good manners first; every time I come here, I only get rude responses. Furthermore, before opening a restaurant, it's advisable to first see if you're capable of managing it. I say this because of the slow service, which for a single pizza and drink can take up to two hours at a time, likely caused by the limited staff. The prices are too high; a pizza like this isn't even worth €5.

30/11/2025: Modern, welcoming place with very helpful table service.

25/09/2025: When I come to Genoa, in fact, as soon as I disembark, I can't help but go to 3 Corone. Every time I go, I find it divine. The coffee is excellent, the staff exceptional and fast... then we want to talk about the freshly baked focaccia, and the sandwiches, at least before I leave, I'll go at least a couple of times.... congratulations to all of you.

20/09/2025: Spartan atmosphere, friendly staff, good mixed fried food, unfortunately the sliced ​​steak was overcooked, standard price

18/09/2025: Honest cooking. The house wine isn't great...

26/10/2025: 8 to 10 euros for a glass of wine... Simply robbery.

03/10/2025: A truly special welcome! Maninvino is a place where you immediately feel at home. Authentic wine served with care and passion.

12/12/2025: We were passing through Rome and found ourselves immersed in the experience of this truly special bar. The food was superb, and Cristian was truly welcoming! Great place.

05/10/2025: Trustworthy bar. Top location, fair prices, and excellent quality. And above all, kindness and friendliness ♥️

17/11/2025: Looking for something a little different for lunch, I tried this place, located in the heart of Genoa's historic center on Via San Lorenzo, just past the cathedral, heading toward the Porto Antico. The idea of ​​offering a "diet" or at least a balanced menu, catering to fitness or health needs, is original and interesting. The place has modern decor with indoor seating; you can choose between poke bowls and pre-measured hot dishes with calculated calories, where you can select your favorite vegetables. For my first time, I ordered pesto gnocchi with a side of peppers and chicken skewers. I found the latter to be really good due to the unique sauce, but the rest was average. For my first time, I was generally satisfied, although I found the price a bit high for the quantity and the simplicity of the menu, which is unfussy. However, the lack of a restroom and the presence of a hole in the wall for the only garbage can on the same shelf where some people were eating are unacceptable. It might be worth another try

22/11/2025: I ordered the anchovy appetizer, 16 euros for a can of anchovies!!! I took some Maalox to help with digestion!!! Beautiful place, but that's all.

11/11/2025: I had a "Portofino" pizza without prosciutto, and it was really good, no complaints there. The place is very cute and reflects the atmosphere of the port, and the staff is very kind and helpful. I liked the fact that the pizza menu also offers the option to create your own pizza with your favorite ingredients. It's original and useful! I'll definitely be back; I had a great meal.

14/10/2025: A very bad experience. We were seated at the very back of the terrace, at a rickety table, under broken decorations that were in danger of falling. The welcome was cold, almost contemptuous, and we can't help but think that this treatment was linked to our appearance. This feeling of exclusion and discrimination is unacceptable, especially in a place that is supposed to welcome everyone. Avoid.

08/10/2025: Fantastic, without a doubt the best restaurant in Portofino

06/12/2025: Tried it for lunch. The prices were reasonable, and the dishes were simple but tasty and well-prepared. Perfect for a business lunch break at a reasonable price while still being satisfied with the quality of the food. We'll definitely be back.

20/10/2025: Business lunch, very good food, super friendly staff, ok price

05/12/2025: The experience was beyond description: sloppy service, to say the least. I ordered two first courses and two second courses, and only one first course and one second course arrived. After pointing out that one first course was missing, they told me they had run out of what I wanted. If I wanted to order something else, I settled for the cheese focaccia. After a 45-minute wait, neither the second course nor the cheese focaccia arrived. Obviously, we left, paying for what we had consumed and with half-empty bellies.

13/11/2025: We enter, say hello, no one notices us, so we head towards the inner room, when a very annoyed female voice with the tone of a SS general tells us, "ONLY the tables in the entrance hall and ONLY what's in the display case!" without a hello, good morning, or ciao, before turning away and not paying us any attention again. Maybe it's because I've lived in Spain for years, and I'm no longer accustomed to the typical Ligurian welcome, but we took it and "laughing" we left, remembering the pirates of the alleys, and went to a restaurant in a nearby alley, where we were welcomed kindly, as a public place should normally be! It's a shame because I remember the food was very good, but not good enough to justify the rudeness.
