I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Genova

24/06/2025: Credo di non dover aggiungere niente a questo piccolo prezioso ristorante di Camogli, dove siamo stati a San Valentino. Uno dei migliori della Riviera di Levante

05/07/2025: A very nice restaurant with excellent food and friendly staff!

22/06/2025: This seafood spot surprised me with their incredible ravioli bolognese - it was love at first bite! 😊 I ended up coming back just to try it again, and I'm so glad I did. The service is top-notch too, making it a must-visit for sure. Highly recommend!

12/08/2025: Tried during a day at the beach, the restaurant offers a lovely shaded veranda where you can enjoy lunch al fresco. The mixed seafood appetizer is excellent (honorable mention goes to the very interesting tuna mosciame), followed by spaghetti alla marinara, the restaurant's signature dish, truly delicious in its simplicity, and finishing with seasonal fish and ice cream. Friendly service. Reservations are required. Prices reflect the quality of the ingredients offered.

10/08/2025: We've just had a truly wonderful time! Thank you to the server at this family restaurant for the excellent service, fresh fish, and espresso 🚀 Go for it!

17/08/2025: Great gnocchi, highly recommend. The service was nice, arranged a place to stay for us even tho we weren’t sure that we’ll eat. Great dining experience, and for Portofino, relatively well-priced

16/08/2025: Worst food & service ever! DO NOT eat at this terrible restaurant if you want to go home on your own feet! Strongly recommend to choose another one in Portofino!

21/08/2025: Quiet restaurant offering quality products. The salads and spaghetti Bolognese were fine for us in terms of quantity. The prices are a little high, but like everywhere else in Portofino (€118 for 4 people, main course, dessert, and drinks). Very welcoming. The service was very good. There were 8 of us and 2 small dogs.

19/08/2025: Avoid. My partner and I went for lunch. Fish not fresh? The people to our left ordered the fried fish mix we wanted, but when they arrived, there was a strong, unpleasant odor. The neighbors saw our disgusted faces and said, "Do we agree that it stinks?" The waiter brought them a second one after they complained, but the bad smell was still there. This ruined my partner's appetite, so we avoided the fish and seafood dishes. We still ordered a plate of trofie with pesto and a plate of tomato and mozzarella because we were hungry. It was okay, but not worth the price, and we didn't really enjoy eating our meal given the smell in the neighbors' faces. Service needs to be improved. Another negative point: when it came time to pay, the server took my partner's credit card from the table to pay the €61 (which didn't work because for more than €50, he needed the PIN) instead of handing us the terminal. We asked to split it in half, and he kept the card to pay the €30 without showing the amount first. In short, avoid it; it's better to pay more for good food or go to a bakery.

05/09/2025: Excellent welcome, good service and friendly and helpful waiters... we ate typical Ligurian dishes... delicious

29/08/2025: While in Genoa, we visited the aquarium and decided to go for lunch when we left. We chose this place at random and were very happy. The food was delicious and plentiful. We ordered trofie al pesto, risotto ai frutti di mare, entrecote, and tiramisu, and everything was delicious. We were served very well. Highly recommended.

01/08/2025: Nel corso della cena ci accorgiamo che le due bottiglie di birra rossa Birrificio La Superba sono scadute a settembre 2024 (scadute da 10 mesi). Lo faccio presente alla cameriera che prende le bottiglie e le porta via. Terminata la cena chiedo il conto e pago. Dopo aver pagato, e pagato anche le 2 birre scadute, faccio presente che sarebbe stato gentile da parte loro non far pagare le due birre scadute; la cameriera/cassiera, pure irritata, ci ha risposto che era stata consegnata la birra scaduta e senza salutare se ne è andata in cucina. Veramente ineducata!

01/08/2025: Il locale tipico nei vicoli di Genova si presenta come una classica osteria vicino al porto. Il personale è sbrigativo e poco cordiale, mal disposto da dare spiegazioni e parco di sorrisi e gentilezza (tipoco in Liguria ma qui si rasenta l'antipatia). In otto a tavola chiediamo alcuni secondi da condividere come antipasto: acciughe fritte, acciughe ripiene e tagliere di formaggi. Le acciughe ripiene sono 4: presentate su un piatto enorme con una fogliolina di insalata come guarnizione, ne abbiamo mangiato mezza a testa; le acciughe fritte saranno state una decina, con sospetto che fossero congelate; i formaggi di qualità da discount. I primi sono le portate migliori: il pesto è di qualità e anche la pasta è stata cotta bene. I secondi, scarsi: il pesce del giorno, un trancio d'ombrina, è stato servito crudo; rimandato in cuicina è stato passato malamente in padella e riproposto sullo stesso piatto già in parte mangiato. La carta dei vini costosissima per la qualità delle bevande proposte, il vino bianco è stato servito caldo nonostante avessimo chiesto una bottiglia da fredda. Un Vermentino da supermercato venduto a più di venti euro a bottiglia. Infine i dolci: anche'essi caldi e di bassa qualità. La sorpresa finale arriva con il conto, quasi 40 euro a testa per aver mangiato: 2 acciughe come antipasto, un piatto a testa, un dolce scadente e un paio di bicchieri di vino. Tipica osteria che sopravvive grazie al nome e alla posizione, qualche turista ci può anche casacare, ma chiunque abbia un minimo di palato e gusto non ci metta piede.

24/08/2025: The products are basic but the prices are affordable, which is appreciated in such a touristy place. Friendly staff. Pleasant terrace.

14/08/2025: This is the perfect place to daydream. Reachable by ferry, on foot, or with your own boat, looking for passage from the mooring buoy to the beach, it's a destination that will fill your heart, stomach, and memory. Da Giovanni is a historic restaurant serving traditional Ligurian cuisine and the freshest seafood. I tried the shrimp spaghetti and their grilled fish and left the table feeling deeply satisfied. Excellent value for money, courteous service. The setting of San Fruttuoso is enchanting: a swim in the early morning light or at sunset is the best option, because the tourists who flock to this paradise are elsewhere. A visit to the abbey is worth it. You arrive and depart to the music of the waves. To maximize the experience, we stayed at Da Giovanni: new, comfortable rooms, equipped with a coffee machine, snacks, and water. For breakfast, you have to wait until 9:30 because croissants and fresh focaccia arrive on the first boat. Absolutely worth trying 🤩😎

01/09/2025: We’re are in Rapallo for a week, so many choices of places to eat! We chose Piaceri Della Vita, based on its menu and reviews. And what a great choice, staff - very friendly and helpful, atmosphere - sat outside, so great, the thunder and lightning just added to the great feeling we had, and the food just topped it all off. So if you’re here for few days consider or just go here, you won’t be disappointed, we weren’t.

21/08/2025: I'm a regular at the place now, but it's always a pleasure to have lunch or dinner. The hosts are incredibly friendly and always available to answer any questions. Highly recommended.

25/08/2025: Dining at this restaurant was truly a pleasant surprise. The service was perfect: the owner was extremely kind and professional. The traditional Genoese dishes were well-prepared. Highly recommended.

20/08/2025: A rather dated restaurant that needs modernizing, as it's truly unwelcoming: we went on August 19th for lunch, and all the outdoor tables were piled up as if the place were closed, and there were still Christmas baubles on the shelves in the dining room. Even the owner seems fed up with this job: you can tell by the way he runs the business. The menus are old, dirty, and worn; the bar counter and the cash register at the entrance are a complete mess, even when I was there and the only customer. The water served at the table is bottled glass, filled by the restaurant, but from the taste, you'd think the filters hadn't been replaced in years. The food somewhat salvages the overall negative rating, serving decent dishes, though clearly 1980s-inspired. We ordered two appetizers recommended by the host: the dish of the day, octopus carpaccio on a bed of potatoes, and the "mosciame di tonno," a carpaccio of tuna steak preserved in salt, the old Ligurian way. The dishes were good, even if they were arranged in the same way, with the unusual final sprinkling of parsley. Then we ordered two first courses, which didn't convince us at all: spaghetti with clams and bottarga, which had a dark gray sauce on the bottom, with a rather bland flavor; and linguine with swordfish and arugula, where, however, the arugula was completely forgotten, with the usual gray sauce on the bottom of the plate. But what disappointed me most was discovering that the house white wine was "Marche" and not "Ligurian," truly embarrassing.

12/05/2025: Locale accogliente dotato sia di sala interna che di giardino. Personale cortese ed attento, pronto a spiegare la struttura del piatto. Pane e pasta sono fatti in casa. Servizio veloce e preciso Davvero eccellenti i ravioli ripieni di pesce con pomodorini e scampetti. La spinta del limone si sente e rende il piatto fresco e bilanciato. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo

25/04/2025: Pranzo del 25 aprile in famiglia. La tavola è ben apparecchiata, il personale sorride e consiglia. I piatti sono gustosi e leggeri,le porzioni generose. Valida lista dei vini. Bene,molto bene!

18/08/2025: If you love seafood, Ristorante Gino in Arenzano is highly recommended! For us, it's a must-visit when we're passing through Liguria: we've stopped here several times and have never been disappointed. Although the restaurant is located on the busy coastal road, its location is quite secluded and quiet enough: if you'd like to dine outside, the restaurant has a shaded outdoor area, protected by evergreen flowerbeds that muffle traffic noise and add to the ambiance. Furthermore, the outdoor area is divided into two sections: one side is the "trattoria" area (more rustic, with red and white checked tablecloths and a menu at trattoria prices) and the other side is the "restaurant" area (slightly more elegant, with white tablecloths and a more refined and delicious menu). The restaurant's interior is also charming and tastefully decorated. But what matters is the food, which is definitely top-notch and reasonably priced. Five stars, well deserved.

11/08/2025: Mediocre food. Poor staff, not exactly friendly. The outdoor terrace has no sign prohibiting smoking; the rude and impolite owner came to tell us to move out of the restaurant because we were smoking. Not recommended, even for families.
