I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Genova

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…

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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?!

14/09/2025: I highly recommend everything is excellent 😊

28/08/2025: This place has such a special charm! Eat the vongole, highly recommended!

24/08/2025: The place is truly beautiful and charming. The view is fabulous. The food is good, good quality. Friendly service. The prices are also fair.

02/07/2025: A superb address! Top-notch, fast service, exceptional product quality, and delicious, freshly prepared dishes. A very successful experience; I'll be back!

30/08/2025: With a reservation for seven people, I find two round tables, a carefully crafted silver table setting, excellent bread accompanied by a small plate of mountain butter, and a wine list that reads like a dictionary, and unfortunately, the wine we chose is sold out. This is where the small inconveniences begin. My appetizer, brandacujun stockfish, was excellent, hot, with excellent olives. The same cannot be said for my friends' breaded Monterosso anchovies, which had a slightly worn flavor. Meanwhile, the 10-year-old girl awaits her dish without the slightest attention. The first course: tagliatelle with small-sized scampi in a smoky-flavored bisque, cold and overcooked. The spaghetti with clams was borderline acceptable. Ravioli were served in a used gravy boat, like a carafe, without a spoon or a saucer. Obviously, since I couldn't eat, they asked me, and I replied that I didn't like it. Then the chef showed up, hatless, from the kitchen where another person in civilian clothes was milling around, and insistently demanded explanations, which I promptly provided. He insisted that everything was fresh and the other table had already eaten... We got up and got discounted on the two first courses. Very intimate place, some suggestions: Reduce the wine list Fewer well-made dishes Lower the prices Less French, more Ligurian
