I migliori ristoranti in Genova

20/10/2025: I used to go there a few years ago, even though it was already quite expensive, it was worth it because the products were good. Last night I went back by chance and it was a unique disappointment. In the internal kiosk, the neon lights shine directly into your eyes, dazzling you and already making you want to leave. I bought two cutting boards and two non-alcoholic aperitifs, two slices of ham and 4 or 5 rosticini. I asked them if they could put an arancini on the cutting board. They used to do that, but they replied that if anything, it had to be purchased separately (the cutting board so meager cost us €15 each). They brought us a small appetizer fork. When I asked for a knife, they gave me the plastic cutlery in a bag that you find in supermarket salad bars. I felt ashamed for them. The place would have enormous potential if it were managed with passion, because the Sicilian specialties they produce are truly Sicilian, but I think Mr. Paolo's desire for commitment has now faded. I definitely won't be going back. At most, I'll buy the products to consume at home!!

18/10/2025: I'm returning to Don Paolo after two years, because he's the only one in Genoa who makes a more than decent Sicilian granita with brioche. I should note that in two years the price has increased by 20%, but not only that... unfortunately, the quantity of granita has decreased by another 20%... now served in a glass of water. As for the quality, however, there's nothing to complain about. Always good. Dear Don Paolo... you've built a reputation in Genoa... but be careful not to ruin it with these little things. The price increase is fine, but make sure you fix the quantity: you need a glass at least 50% larger than the one you get now. Don't be a slouch, and above all, don't ruin the image of Sicily and its oriental granita. A native of Catania, that's my word.

21/11/2025: The food is very good and the lady with the blue eyes is very nice 👍

23/09/2025: Good food at a very reasonable price, excellent service, and a beautiful location. We'll be back

20/07/2025: Great welcome, beautiful pub, excellent beers

20/07/2025: Excellent management, friendly staff, fantastic value for money

18/10/2025: We were very satisfied with the pizza and the service. Even without a reservation, we were given an extra table despite the restaurant being very busy, and our food arrived quickly. The prices are fair and the food is delicious; we would come back :)

05/10/2025: The Recco-style focaccia is good

14/12/2025: Average trattoria, excellent socializing through karaoke for lovers. A noisy and noisy atmosphere, where sometimes tone-deaf people can spoil the enjoyment of the food. Difficulty finding parking as it is on a medium-traffic road. What can I say? A classic trattoria with reasonable prices of 20 euros a dish.

07/12/2025: The food is really very good, the only flaw is that they are really very slow, last night 55 minutes of waiting for pizzas and almost 2 hours for the dishes from the kitchen... It's not a problem with whoever serves the table but probably with the management in the kitchen / pizza chef, because during the long wait I was able to observe that instead of "fulfilling" the orders of one table, they were served a part of one table, a part of another, it makes no sense, you make pizzas for one table and then that of another, same thing for the kitchen... While waiting we were served some French fries that we thought were brought to us to apologize for the wait (7 portions) but instead we were then charged for them... It's a shame because with a little more organization it wouldn't be a bad place since the food is excellent, I understand that last night was Saturday and there were a few customers, but a 10 year old child can't wait 2 hours for a plate of pasta.......

10/03/2025: purtroppo avrei voluto fare una bella recensione, ma x la seconda volta ad un’ora decente (19.15 l’8 marzo scorso una volta e 12 la precedente qualche settimana fa) abbiamo chiamato x prenotare ma… “eh mi dispiace ma stiamo chiudendo… (??) “ e “ no siamo pieni” allora mi affretto a dire… siamo solo due e ci basta un insalata…. e la risposta … da ligure … come solo io che sono ligure capisco… no mi spiace …e niente ….non RIUSCIAMO. mah ok .. ho capito !!siamo alle solite! accoglienza genovese… peccato. credo che non proveremo piu … ho abitato a pra quando prima del porto c’era il mare … quello bello!! ci ho imparato a nuotare … lì davanti…volevo tornarci… anche solo x un pasto veloce. ma credo che non chiameremo più! in bocca al lupo di passaggio!!! 😃🥹

01/03/2025: Home cooking. Overall, the food is good. We're not in the center of Genoa, but if you're nearby (Genova Pra'), it's worth stopping for lunch.

13/11/2025: Having seen Joe Bastianich's show, we were curious to check out this little restaurant, which came in second place for best Genoese pesto. Rather than a restaurant, I prefer to call it a trattoria, also because it's split between two locations across the street from each other in the historic center. Both locations are small but welcoming and personalized, with that "rustic" touch that never hurts. The staff were extremely kind and courteous; they welcomed us like they were at home and then moved our table without a hitch. We ordered and shared two different first courses, wanting to try the famous "Mandilli al pesto" (Pesto Mandilli), featured in the TV competition, plus the "Ravioli al sugo" (Ravioli with tomato sauce), and we were satisfied. The desserts were amazing, and the oil used, which we tried raw on the bread, was truly excellent. The prices and cuisine go hand in hand, and we paid a fair price for what we consumed. I recommend it without hesitation.

06/11/2025: Also recommended for a simple lunch break: excellent food and courteous service.

23/11/2025: We discovered this place thanks to a friend's recommendation. This is the second year we've been here for the delicious Piedmontese bagna cauda, ​​perfectly prepared. The place is welcoming, and the owner's kindness and friendliness won us over.

08/10/2025: A very pleasant stopover after leaving the motorway to then continue our journey towards the south of Italy.

01/10/2025: We were totally disappointed. We drank two Campari Spritzes (€10 each) and didn't get the aperitivo platter (snacks) as is common in Liguria. Better to go to another bar. Elsewhere, you can get a Campari Spritz for €7 and free snacks. This is a rip-off!

20/09/2025: Really nice athmosphere! The aperol spritz’es were delish! And the bruscetta with salmon really lovely!

05/08/2025: Immangiabile.....non si riesce nemmeno a tagliare. Buttato 20€ nella spazzatura. Ogni boccone devi bere xchè ti strozza

05/08/2025: Inedible...you can't even cut it.

17/06/2025: The best pizza by the slice in the known universe

05/03/2025: Real pizza, and more, right on your doorstep

09/12/2025: We went yesterday by chance and we ate really well 😊

08/12/2025: The meat was cold this time. Rossana, the girl who served us, was excellent, 10/10. Helpful, attentive, and always smiling.

27/11/2025: I've ordered poke and dumplings several times through Just Eat and picked it up in person once. I've always had a good experience: the food was excellent and exactly as ordered, although the wait was always too long. The second-to-last time I ordered it, my boyfriend wasn't as satisfied as the other times: he had more rice than anything else. The last time, however, was when we were both dissatisfied. He was missing one of the two proteins included in the medium poke, salmon, and they replaced my vegetable tempura with bean sprouts. Now, in this specific case, I can say that, fortunately, I like bean sprouts, but what if they replaced the requested ingredient with another that the person who ordered is allergic to?! That's a very serious omission. Furthermore, my poke also had a strange, vinegary taste. I hate having to write this review, but unfortunately, that's how it went, and I won't be ordering from them again.

10/11/2025: So, I've always been there and always had a great experience, BUT this time there was something wrong with the rice, and I felt sick with diarrhea and fever. What can I say about all the times I've had a great experience? I don't know if this one is enough, but trust me, getting poisoned isn't the best thing.

02/07/2025: Perfect place for a business lunch or a beer with an aperitif at the end of the day. Very kind and friendly owner (football faith aside) Highly recommended!

07/12/2025: I've tried farinata in various ways. It's delicious. It arrives piping hot, and the service is very fast. Everyone is very kind, thank you!

10/11/2025: Everything very good and just a stone's throw from the stadium
