I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Genova

31/10/2025: I was passing by for a business lunch. I looked at the menu and chose gnocchi with pesto. I asked the waiter if the pesto was made locally, and he said absolutely yes... "I'll start by saying, being Genoese, I know the product and its ingredients very well." For the main course, a stewed stockfish with potatoes. I noticed a cheap, industrial pesto with a lot of non-EVOO, so I asked the waiter again if he was sure it was their own, and he confirmed his previous answer (by the way, I found a plastic filament in the sauce and mentioned it). The stewed stockfish arrived... (a simple dish to prepare) no comment!!!! The dish was equally poorly prepared. A place where attention to cleanliness leaves much to be desired. Expensive given the poor quality of the ingredients. I wouldn't recommend it even to those who are passing by. Better to have a toasted sandwich or a sandwich!!!

13/09/2025: Rustica Trattoria never disappoints, truly excellent cuisine, fixed price at €12. Freshly caught sea bream, Ligurian style.

05/09/2025: 30 minutes before closing they don't answer the phone a genius who pays them then Friday evening a disgrace butile asks is open then if they advertise home delivery not the first time

21/07/2025: To whoever took the order today, July 21, 2025, at approximately 1:10 PM, I would advise them to change jobs so as not to let the Hamburger Restaurant go bankrupt. We ordered two burgers, specifically asking for them to be rare, as overcooked meat is inedible. Bear in mind that there were only four people in the restaurant at the time, so it was empty. The kitchen certainly wasn't working hard. Well, the first one arrived after 5 minutes (an acceptable amount of time), and the second after over 10 minutes, but BOTH OVERCOOKED!!!! I wanted to be very calm and polite, because workers can make mistakes, and point out to the person who took the order that the burgers were overcooked, almost stringy. The response?: I'M SORRY, THE KITCHEN FORGOT THEM ON THE GRILL... shrugging and asking the next customer for their order!!!!!!!! We've been eating there for years with colleagues and friends, but I'll do everything I can to persuade anyone to come and eat there. I've read some reviews, and based on their approach, what happened to me today isn't an isolated incident!

20/10/2025: We went to the bar in October and drank a café latte and ate tiramisu. The coffee wasn't really hot, but the tiramisu was okay. When I wanted to use the restroom, I accidentally used the one reserved for staff. The notice was on the sliding door, but I couldn't see it because the sliding door was open, obscuring the sign. An older gentleman, presumably the owner, saw this and yelled at me in Italian. Not particularly customer-friendly, as was the case in the café in general.

18/10/2025: Pizza was very good and inexpensive!

03/11/2025: Burnt pizzas, a broken POS, and terrible service. I won't say anything else. Never again.

01/10/2025: An old trattoria in Cornigliano. Good and fast service. I ordered spaghetti with clams (good quantity and excellent quality). The pasta was delicious, crispy, and the dough was very easy to digest. Fair prices.

03/10/2025: Simple, good, and not at all expensive. Thank you.

31/08/2025: It needs more cleaning, the food is excellent quality/price.

08/09/2025: The bathrooms are nice, but the service is poor. If you're looking for a mid- to high-priced option, it's fine, but adjust accordingly.

30/08/2025: Don't be fooled by the big crocodile!!!…believe me!…Goodbye!!!

28/10/2025: I went with my wife for empanadas and other things (the dough was good, but the filling leaves a lot to be desired since at the first bite there was a nice piece of garlic) it was 5.30pm and we asked for drinks or something hot but we were told that it was not yet enabled (which was a big lie because at the other tables there were cups of coffee).

20/06/2025: First oven in Genoa without focaccia

19/10/2025: Unfortunately we had a negative experience, despite the beauty of the place the service was really poor. The staff was undemanding and very hostile. The outside environment was very dirty.

18/10/2025: Anyone who remembers Klainguti's Zena cake before the change of ownership should avoid trying the one made now by the same pastry shop: it would be a huge disappointment because, while it has retained the name, it is now completely different and noticeably worse. It's a shame, a piece of Genoa gone.

14/10/2025: Terrible service. The lady treats you very poorly, shouting and giving you defiant looks if she doesn't like something. Instead of sharing the information, she assumes you have to know everything she thinks, such as the fact that we can drink on the terrace and that you shouldn't even think about going into the bathroom. Disgusting bathroom.

11/10/2025: Amazing sandwiches. You have to try them.

13/08/2025: A beautiful, well-organized venue. A historic venue, great evenings of entertainment.

24/06/2025: Very bad club. The bouncer was rude and mean. Average age was over 50. There was no official dresscode but many people got denied for "their outfits". Would not recommend (especially not for tourists).

17/10/2025: Terrible experience, everything looks great in the photos but the reality is different.

12/10/2025: Applause for Francesco, the chef, as well as owner who with the help of his mother creates delicious dishes, the Pasta e Fagioli was world-class Fra🤩🤩🤩And what's more, he told us that, if we call first, he can remake it whenever we want..... what more do you want???!?!?!.

08/09/2025: The bread, focaccia, and pastries are good, but the "CSI-style" barrier of chairs and tape to keep people away from the counter is TERRIBLE! Not even in the time of COVID. And if they mock us for our "typical Ligurian hospitality," let's not complain...

31/08/2025: Illegal Focaccia is so good! Even reheated the next day. Delicious bread. Excellent pastries: I love the Hollandaise pastries.

11/05/2025: Vorrei iniziare la mia recensione dicendo (come ho letto in un altro commento) di diffidare delle recensioni negative! Sono ESAGERATE!!! Abbiamo scoperto Il Ciliegio alla Fattoria San Desiderio quasi per caso… e ce ne siamo davvero innamorati. La location ha un altissimo potenziale: immersa nel verde, con un’atmosfera rilassata e perfetta per le famiglie. La presenza degli animali è un valore aggiunto, anche se — va detto — le stalle potrebbero essere mantenute con maggiore cura e pulizia. Abbiamo visto , asini, mucche, capre, un cinghiale e un maiale…e un gufo reale è stata una sorpresa meravigliosa! Aggiungo che con un euro compri carote da dare agli animali… E un parco avventura molto bello per i bambini più grandi! Il cibo è semplice ma genuino e servito con cortesia. Si percepisce la passione di chi lavora con impegno ogni giorno. Il menù fisso comprende due primi, un secondo con contorno, antipasto, dolce, bevande e vino: 30 euro per gli adulti, 15 i bambini, un prezzo onestissimo per quanto offerto e per la qualità. L’unica nota un po’ meno convincente è stata la carne, che comunque resta mangiabile. Il servizio è lento ma ti puoi godere la giornata e i bambini possono spezzare il momento del pasto con qualche pausa, secondo me iniziando all’una abbiamo finito alle 15/15.30 ma comprensibilmente: il personale è ridotto e fa davvero del suo meglio. Ultima osservazione secondo me potreste investire nell’acquisto di seggioloni Ikea a poco prezzo25 euro circa o usati ne vendono tantissimi… (Gli e***ril per esempio che sicuramente non è un locale per bambini ne avrà più di 20🤣🤣🤣 .. ) Noi sapevamo che non c’erano e quindi lo abbiamo portato… non costa niente perché la strada è veramente cinque minuti a piedi! Ma mi sentivo di dirvelo… In conclusione, Il Ciliegio non merita affatto certe critiche severe. Anzi: torneremo sicuramente!

11/05/2025: We came for Women's Day. We've been here several times and the welcome is truly family-like. The staff is kind and helpful. The wait is reasonable and understandable. The food is good and simple. Perfect place to relax, whether you're with your family or not. Ideal for children. Gorgeous animals!!!

23/09/2025: Before boarding the ferry, we decided to stop by for something to eat. The place is small but well-stocked and open 24 hours a day (even on Sundays). We ordered several types of pizza and focaccia. Admittedly, as others have written, it wasn't the best, but it wasn't inedible either. The girl who served us was friendly.

16/09/2025: This focacceria has a wide selection of focaccias and more, and there's no shortage of opportunities to stop by after disembarking from the ferry to stock up and take these delicacies home. Fresh, just-made, to delight the family.
