I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Genova

29/05/2026: The cuisine is amazing, the welcome is extraordinary, and the courtesy is exquisite. A restaurant worth trying if you're in the area... the mandrilli al pesto is superb. The capon magro is top-notch. The cod and trio of appetizers are excellent. Why didn't we discover you sooner?!?! Thanks to all the staff in the dining room and kitchen.

10/05/2026: A very characteristic place, clean and tidy, the staff are kind and helpful, the owner is the star of the place, the raw materials are good and the wine selection is good, the prices are reasonable.

23/05/2026: This restaurant is a real gem in this region. A very warm welcome and impeccable service. The homemade cuisine, typical of the region, was excellent. The wine list ranges from €15 to €90. We had a Chianti for €20, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Quality, price, service, welcome, location: everything was perfect. We recommend it without hesitation.

20/05/2026: It's so nice to eat in a cave. The food is good and hasn't changed for 40 years (but it's been there much longer). The set menu includes various appetizers, two first courses, two second courses, dessert, water, wine, and coffee. €40.

23/05/2026: Excellent, even though the selection is limited, the quality is excellent. I highly recommend it.

18/05/2026: 🍝 Locanda degli Adorno ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Don't be fooled by the appearance of the alley: here you can eat AMAZING at the best price in Genoa! The classic example of a "hidden gem." It's located near the university area, tucked away in a narrow alley that might seem a bit uninspiring at first glance and leave you a little wary. But trust me, keep going: once you cross the threshold, you enter a whole new world! The atmosphere changes completely, the welcome is warm, and the aromas are spectacular. By far the best place I've eaten in Genoa for value. The quality of the dishes is truly astronomical at super-fair prices. 🍲 What to try: The typical Genoese cuisine and seafood dishes are fantastic, cooked with love and the freshest ingredients. Authentic and genuine flavors that will stay in your heart. 💰 Value for money: Unbeatable. Generous portions, divinely cooked fish, and a bill that will leave you speechless (in a positive way!). 💡 My Local Guide tip: Since it's a small, hidden place, but beloved by locals and students, it's definitely worth making a reservation, especially for dinner. Highly recommended. If you want authentic Genoese cuisine without frills but with incredible quality, you have to come here!

25/04/2026: We come to Moneglia when we can (unfortunately, once every 4 or 5 years) just for this place. All the clichés about Ligurians being inhospitable or stingy are disproved by this place, where the food and wine are carefully prepared and reasonably priced, served with grace and passion.

05/04/2026: An unforgettable dinner in a magical, high-altitude setting. Excellent service. The owner came to our table, and we had a moving and passionate conversation about the significance of the sea for Liguria. My father emigrated from Genoa to Argentina. His charming wife arranged transportation for us to the train station. The seafood dishes were plentiful, refined, and exquisite.

01/05/2026: A hidden gem among Genoa's traffic police stations, this restaurant offers authentic yet sophisticated cuisine. High-quality ingredients are paired with creativity and expertise. We enjoyed the off-menu rossetti and the tuna carpaccio with purple shrimp for an appetizer. Chestnut and tuna casarecce and black chitarrine with octopus ragù. To finish, a surprising tiramisu with Ligurian focaccia. We didn't have time to take photos because the dishes were so inviting. We'll definitely be back. Well done!

27/04/2026: Everything was delicious and the prices were fair, one of my favorite places in Genoa.

07/05/2026: Exquisite experience, didn't disappoint.

02/05/2026: It couldn't be better! Thank you

09/05/2026: We were pleasantly surprised, the quality was incredible, and the traditional dishes were expertly prepared. Highly recommended!!! See you next time!

09/05/2026: A historic restaurant. Its elegant and varied decor is very distinctive. It's also full of photos of people who have visited the restaurant over the years. Impeccable service. The waiter was precise, extremely attentive, and not only served the guests but also entertained them with moderation. The dishes were excellent. The focaccia was exquisite, as was the fish soup. The same can be said for the "pesto lasagna" (which is actually a giant pappardelle). The desserts were also very impressive, especially—I don't remember the name—a sort of chocolate and rum cream puff. Really good. Worth a try.

10/05/2026: Craft brewery, excellent beer, excellent dishes, I recommend booking, the food is exquisite, the staff is knowledgeable and very helpful.

07/04/2026: High-quality craft beers, very friendly staff, and a meat-based menu typical of a true German-style brewery, with a Ligurian twist. 😉 Easily accessible from the highway. Parking isn't always easy.

02/05/2026: This place is amazing!! Been here twice, and does not disappoint.

01/05/2026: Excellent place in every way: delicious food, pleasant atmosphere, top-notch service, and the owner Valerio is a wonderful host. We will definitely be back.

12/04/2026: Lovely staff and amazing quality food, you feel that you are in an authentic Italian restaurant.

29/03/2026: We recommend it. A simple, traditional family restaurant. We ordered the "Il Genovese" starter, which was fine. The pasta dishes, however, were very good. We ordered chestnut gnocchi with pesto and lasagnette with pesto. We also enjoyed the house wine.

15/05/2026: An exceptional restaurant of the highest caliber. Each course was an artfully presented masterpiece with perfectly balanced flavors, top-quality ingredients, and impressive creativity. The service was impeccable – discreet, attentive, and highly professional. The elegant ambiance underscored the exclusivity of this culinary experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant!

15/04/2026: This restaurant definitely deserves a Michelin star. We sampled a meat menu and a farm-to-table menu, and both were excellent; the flavors were well-combined and balanced, and the leitmotif of grilling accompanied us magnificently throughout each course. The service rounded off the culinary experience with a truly exceptional welcome. Special thanks to Nadia for her high level of professionalism and for all her recommendations for Ligurian restaurants. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is warm, and even the wall decorations are carefully chosen. I would return to Sestri Levante just for this restaurant.

19/05/2026: Nice place with quality products. Delicious pesto pasta, friendly staff, and very good prices.

19/05/2026: The place seems tiny and unassuming, and the service could be more friendly 😉😅. The pasta is GREAT! It's best to get there early because not everything is available all day. The tiramisu is also yummy yummy 🤤. I highly recommend it because there are a lot of scams for hungry tourists around!

08/05/2026: A place where you can feel good! A classic local trattoria, without frills or pretensions. A truly local menu, with a few well-prepared and well-presented dishes. Very friendly service. More than fair prices.

23/04/2026: The atmosphere is a bit retro, but the food is delicious. Good value for money.

29/04/2026: Everything perfect, congratulations

26/04/2026: A small restaurant in the Marassi area. It offers seafood, Ligurian dishes, and more. The calamarata allo scoglio, the Genoese fried fish, and the stuffed anchovies are excellent. Generous portions and beautifully presented dishes. Friendly staff, a family atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Unfortunately, given the limited number of tables, you need to book well in advance, but it's definitely worth it.

19/04/2026: Best pesto in Genoa (and anyone who says otherwise is dishonest), friendly service, quality products, and kudos to the chef because he reminded me of the ragù my grandmother used to make ❤️

19/04/2026: A wonderful experience, a historic Genoa restaurant, an elegant location with meticulous attention to detail. Kudos to the staff for the service, truly kind and professional, yet unobtrusive. A friend of mine tried the Zeffirino cheese focaccia with pesto and was amazed, so he complimented the kitchen. A few minutes passed, and Marco Zeffirino showed up at our table and sat down with us for a chat. He then brought us another portion of pesto, so I could try it with another friend. It was delicious, all accompanied by bread and focaccia. The evening continued beautifully. We enjoyed the appetizer, then moved on to the first courses. I had the tagliolini with lobster, and for the second course, the Ligurian-style catch of the day. We finished dinner with a delicious tiramisu made fresh in front of me, coffee, and Irish whiskey, in honor of the Peaky Blinders. Special thanks to Marco Zeffirino for his availability, a truly excellent host, we will definitely see you again.
