I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Genova

18/05/2025: This is an excellent place if you just want to come to enjoy the setting. The music is very soft, and it’s a perfect place to read a book on your own if you are a solo diner. It’s mainly a Pizzeria but also serve some steak as a side option do not under any circumstance or their own Amaro.Its called Basanotto. It’s basically mix between Limoncello washing up liquid and chemical basil. Absolutely revolting.

14/04/2025: Neapolitan pizza with a high (and chewy) crust and a very thin center. Not my favorite type of pizza. Excellent ingredients. Average to high prices. Long wait times.

10/11/2025: I returned to this restaurant for dinner last night, as always, when I treat myself to excellent fresh fish at reasonable prices; and as always, I was not disappointed. Each time I choose different dishes, so I can try them all. This time, my friends and I had as appetizers: The very fresh and tender octopus with potatoes, and a mixed seafood antipasto (a fascinating dish from this restaurant that I highly recommend), followed by spaghetti alla brezza marinara for the first course, stuffed squid for the second course, and finally, chocolate soufflé for dessert. Everything was truly delicious!

08/11/2025: We went for lunch today and were amazed by the excellent food. We'll be back tomorrow.

29/08/2025: We went here with the family for pizza, and all the pizzas were incredibly delicious and large. We finished with a small Nutella pizza – which was a real highlight for the kids. Perfect for delivery or takeout :)

01/06/2025: Very good and well cooked pizza, friendly staff and clean place.

16/09/2025: The food and sweets are decent We picked few pizzas and sweets a few times from There. The taste is nice, and the prices are decent. However, you can’t eat at the tables outside. Def recommend and be back if around

16/08/2025: The “lady” at the counter skipped us 2 times serving Italian people first while my 5 year old daughter was thirsty and we wanted to buy the water in 35 degrees heat. This is Rapallo…

20/10/2025: Beautiful location, very fresh fish and cooked in a divine way

16/10/2025: Our experience at this charming restaurant was exceptional from start to finish. Our table was ready and waiting, and the staff’s warm, attentive service made us feel immediately welcome. The waiter presented the whole fish for our approval before cooking, a thoughtful touch that reflected their commitment to freshness. The lobster and roasted fish was outstanding—perfectly cooked and full of flavor—and every dish we tried was impeccable. A true hidden gem that delivers both remarkable seafood and genuine hospitality.

11/10/2025: The saddest service you can imagine!

11/10/2025: Terrible service, expensive and no atmosphere.

06/10/2025: I don't want to be too harsh. Let's just say you shouldn't eat there on purpose. But if you're in the area, after a nice hike up Monte Maggio, a great vantage point, you can stop for a bite to eat at this "restaurant" (wouldn't it have been better to call it a trattoria or an osteria?) where the atmosphere takes you back to the 1960s, the food is very cheap, but it tastes like a canteen. It's a shame, because it wouldn't take much to improve enough to make it acceptable, perhaps by raising the prices by a few euros. On the other hand, the lady is very kind and quick. Of course, they don't have a POS.

14/07/2025: Good food and very kind and friendly lady

28/08/2025: Nice atmosphere. Really unpopular service. Unpopular. Rather limited menu selection. Inedible meat. Good tuna tartare. Fair prices.

21/08/2025: Elegant atmosphere and courteous, prompt staff. We discovered the Universale restaurant by chance but were pleasantly surprised. The dishes are well-prepared: beautiful to look at and delicious to eat! The black lasagna and the amberjack steak are highly recommended.

31/08/2025: While passing by on our motorcycle, we stopped for a burger. Although the ingredients weren't fresh—"frozen bread and meat"—the result was still good, as was the service. However, in my opinion, for a place to be considered a "burger joint," it would have been a good idea to have a menu with various options for ordering and fresh ingredients. The price, however, is in line with the service.

05/07/2025: A roadside oasis, found by chance. It was too late to eat anywhere, but the girls welcomed us with such kindness and hospitality, and they made us some heavenly burgers. It's a bit far from home, but we'd definitely go back.

29/10/2025: A bar with excellent food and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

05/10/2025: Excellent lunch break. A sure thing.

23/09/2025: 💲 Visa accepted. 💗 I love the pistachio and raspberry flavors. They're quite rich and fresh, and the moment you take a sip, you know it's genuine, natural gelato, not artificially colored. 💁‍♀️The staff, though elderly, are incredibly energetic and provide excellent service. Watching them fill the ice cream is a real treat.

12/09/2025: Very tasty, especially the Ferrero and strawberries👍

30/09/2025: It was our second time in Genoa, and we decided to return to this restaurant, which we had fond memories of. We were surprised by the negative reviews, but the truth is, they're not wrong. It's centrally located and has a blackboard with the daily specials in English on the door. However, if you go inside and go up to the first floor, there's no way the waitress can explain the dishes available in any language other than Italian; they don't even have a translated paper menu. I remembered the food better, as did the bathroom, which urgently needs maintenance.

27/09/2025: 17 euros for an aperitif is fine... but paying 17 euros for a Coke for a 5 year old girl who obviously hasn't eaten anything seems excessive to me... especially since the week before I spent 10 euros for the same Coke with an aperitif.

08/10/2025: We had lunch as a worker, seeing as other restaurants in the area were closed for vacation. The first course was acceptable, trofie with pesto, but the breaded chicken was embarrassing: it stank, inedible, obviously spoiled. Kudos to the chef with no sense of smell... Shame. NEVER again.

08/09/2025: Excellent place, seafood dishes at reasonable prices. It's definitely not the typical "tourist-spoiling" restaurant we're used to on the Riviera. Excellent service, probably young women fresh out of hotel school, very knowledgeable and diligent. The kitchen staff is also very young but precise and knowledgeable. The place is clean and tidy.

11/09/2025: Stepping inside, you enter an incredible world, filled with rooms from different eras and even a bank vault. But it also opens up a culinary experience, with pizzas and other dishes all made with excellent, quality ingredients. The staff is extremely kind, attentive, and meticulous. Calling it a pizzeria is an understatement!

22/08/2025: We wanted to have coffee and dessert at 9pm and were very rudely sent away because they only give the tables to dine-in guests... there were 4 empty tables... well, need I say more?!
