I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Genova

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!

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.

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.

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!!!

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: delicious gelato - The chocolate flavours are amazing. Hidden gem 💕

15/08/2025: Best gelato we had in our trip.

28/09/2025: Found it by chance...but it was truly a dream! We had lunch in a family atmosphere and enjoyed excellent food...from appetizer to dessert, everything was delicious and authentic...what can I say...we'll be back soon!

07/08/2025: Very nice place. Good value for money. The owner is very kind and friendly. The dishes prepared by his wife are delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

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.

03/10/2025: Signora Gianna cooks fabulously. We arrived late but were greeted like royalty. The menu is all homemade, all local, by the lovely Gianna (90 years old!!). US Cigolese will definitely be back: if you're passing through, come here. Even if you're not passing through. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back; the specialties she cooks are truly inviting.

05/07/2025: Good seafront restaurant with friendly staff, great for a quick lunch

29/06/2025: I went there twice with my husband and I had a great time, good food, fresh, welcoming environment, the guy who served us professional and kind. Highly recommended place!

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???!?!?!.

24/07/2025: Apericena ottimo con parecchio cibo e servizio adeguato. Unica possibile pecca sono i drink un po’ piccoli ma per il prezzo è accettabile.

28/06/2025: Pizza eccezionale come sempre ...è anche I dolci...bravo lo staff , servizio veloce e cordiale . Una garanzia di serietà

10/08/2025: A beautiful place, but unfortunately, given the "standing" it aims to maintain, it falls short in some respects, specifically in the following areas: - Tables in the gazebos with rust spots - Side curtains on the gazebo partially missing. - Dirty/stained sun lounger mattress (we asked for it to be replaced, and it was promptly replaced with apologies for the inconvenience). - Bathroom hygiene needs updating (lack of toilet paper in the women's bathroom and cleanliness needs improving). In my opinion, the price paid doesn't match what's offered. Considering that the price for 5 hours (from 2 pm to 7 pm) is €137, I would have expected greater quality and attention to service. It wouldn't take much, especially considering the number of gazebos (28), to make this beach truly the "gem" and most exclusive beach in Santa Margherita, as advertised. I'd also like to point out that we purchased a thermal water bottle. It's very nice looking, with the bathroom logo on it, but it doesn't keep the water cold at all, even though it was guaranteed to work properly at the time of purchase. (Please avoid making any comments without first having verified your claims, to avoid disappointment.) Regarding the restaurant, since we didn't eat there, I can't express any opinion, but having read the dishes offered and given the location, I feel compelled to give a positive assessment. Another positive note was the receptionist, who demonstrated courtesy and professionalism. P.S.: I've changed my rating from 3 to 1 star because I'd like to point out that after just 7 days, the thermal water bottle has rust spots on both the cap and the inside (as shown in the photo). This is absurd; it's unsafe to use, as you risk drinking rust. Any feedback is appreciated.

01/08/2025: This year, like last year, we chose this beach resort for its proximity to home and the gazebos, but we discovered at the start of the season that the management had changed. We immediately had problems with bookings: we therefore decided to start with a week, from Monday, June 30th to Sunday, and this already created problems because the weekly stay, for which we had been asked to pay €1,250 in advance, could not be made due to the different rates between the months of June and July. Therefore, we immediately paid €1,400 for the Monday of June and the week from Tuesday to the following Monday (July). Unfortunately, due to force majeure (bad weather), we lost three days of the booked period, so my husband asked the manager if we could make up the days on other days. He was told that we could only make up two, and although we didn't fully agree, we accepted (at €200 per day). When we rebooked for the two-day make-up session, we were told we were only booking one day, not two. At that point, we replied that we wouldn't be willing to negotiate like in a Marrakech souk, and that in a €200-a-day establishment, customers deserve a service that's proportionate and worthy of the price they pay. Bottom line: three paid days wasted and service subpar due to incompetence and a lack of professionalism, but above all, lost customers.
