I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Genova

06/05/2026: The food is excellent. The staff is friendly.

24/03/2026: I understand that the workers' menu requires cost containment to be able to offer it at certain prices, but a little care in the preparation of the dishes and the ingredients used could also be reserved for those who must take advantage of these menus.

27/04/2026: I tried Il Panson and I must say it was a delightful discovery. Delicious, carefully prepared, and flavorful food, all served in the splendid central location of Piazza delle Erbe. Perfect for both a relaxed dinner or an evening with friends in the center of Genoa. Highly recommended!

11/04/2026: Make a reservation, it's the only place in the square where the pizzeria is closed on Saturday evenings at 11 p.m. Luckily, all the other places in the square serve both local cuisine and pizza.

20/04/2026: Really great food! I'm celiac and practically everything on the menu was orderable! Thank you!! We'll definitely be back!

19/03/2026: Kind and friendly staff, good overall service, a beautiful location, I highly recommend it to everyone Mariano

23/12/2025: I eat very little bread due to weight issues. I like it a lot. I buy their crunchy sticks. They're delicious, but not very crumb-y.

02/12/2025: Excellent focaccia. Superb bread.

12/04/2026: Superb restaurant, the service is very friendly compared to all the other restaurants in Portofino! Really lovely and helpful with great advice. The food is excellent, I highly recommend it, superb welcome

04/04/2026: Beautiful and excellent restaurant in the port of Portofino. The food is amazing, it’s really one of tue best restaurants we went to during our stay in the ligure Rivera. I recommend the thin pesto pasta ! Be sure to make a reservation !!

15/03/2026: Best food i ate in my life - scampi a la Mario, it worth visiting St M L just for this restaurant.

13/03/2026: A lovely place with attentive service and dishes that are appropriate for the setting. The quality/price ratio is excellent.

02/05/2026: An experience not to be missed! Very friendly staff and spectacular dishes with a unique view

26/04/2026: It was certainly an interesting and, in some ways, enjoyable experience, but honestly, I don't think I'd do it again. Let's start with the location: we're in Portofino, so the setting is undoubtedly evocative. However, the restaurant itself didn't particularly impress me aesthetically, and more importantly, it was cold during dinner. The heating wasn't on, and virtually all the guests were sitting in jackets or sweaters: we never managed to remove our jackets either, which impacted the overall experience. Regarding the cuisine, there's nothing to complain about about the professionalism of chef Mattia Pecis: he introduced himself personally, and his great passion and talent are evident. A young but already highly skilled man, he's the restaurant manager and the mastermind behind the menu. I truly have great respect for him. The tasting menu is interesting, with some truly excellent dishes: especially the Russian salad and the "garden of the vegetable garden," both extraordinary and perfectly executed, in true Cracco style but with a lovely personal touch. Other dishes, however, were more divisive: the "eye" was difficult to appreciate, both in terms of taste and aesthetics, while the bitter orange risotto wasn't particularly well received at the table and was even difficult to finish. Overall, the use of very bitter citrus fruits didn't convince me. A very positive note, however, was the customer service: they were extremely attentive to my lactose intolerance, demonstrating care and professionalism. The service overall was impeccable, with friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. The opportunity to tour the kitchen and receive explanations, such as how to dry-age the fish, was also greatly appreciated. One aspect I didn't like was the inability to choose different menus at the table: there were four of us and we were all forced to choose the same tasting menu, despite two options available at different prices. Finally, the price: definitely too high for the overall experience. We spent around €1,100 for four (a €210 tasting menu per person plus wine), and honestly, I don't think it was justified given what we ate. In short: an interesting experience, with its ups and downs, but not compelling enough to want to repeat.

09/04/2026: After staying several nights, we found this place, and so glad we did. We ordered the spaghetti with clams, pesto lasagne, pesto gnocchi and four seasons pizza (Quattro stagioni) - these were all delicious and reasonably priced for Portofino. Service was friendly, prompt and they went out of their way to accommodate us to make a table of four. Highly recommend.

28/03/2026: What we got was quite expensive. €18 for a tiny portion of tasteless gnocchi. And then they automatically added a €12 tip. Absolutely outrageous, not recommended at all!!

15/04/2026: The best seafood spaghetti ever

07/04/2026: What a great find. We got the last table on a rainy Wednesday night. Lovely staff and great food. Everything was delicious.

05/04/2026: Quality food, very kind owners, generous portions, and very reasonable prices. Their specialties, frogs and snails, are a must.

14/03/2026: In a family-friendly atmosphere, the food is excellent, both in terms of the quality of the ingredients and the preparation. The price is perhaps a little above average, but it's worth it.

08/02/2026: Excellent location, very welcoming and the waiter Giovanni is very charming

25/12/2025: Great burgers, quality ingredients

02/05/2026: The restaurant at the Hotel Savoia in Genoa is extremely convenient for those arriving by train, as it's located adjacent to the Piazza Principe station. The location is elegant and meticulously maintained, truly splendid and with a strong artistic character. The staff is knowledgeable and always smiling (a quality I greatly appreciated, especially in such an elegant and sophisticated setting). The dishes are sophisticated and high-quality, everything delicious, but I found the portions a bit small for the price. The tiramisu is good, but it would be better if it weren't assembled freshly: resting would allow the ladyfingers to absorb the coffee and achieve a softer, creamier consistency. Overall, I recommend it, especially for those who appreciate more refined and sophisticated flavors.

01/05/2026: The restaurant we chose was accidental. We were looking for something to eat later in the day. We made a reservation first, then read some rather unfavorable reviews. The place turned out to be very good. The ravioli, steak, and turbot were first-rate. We were pleasantly surprised by the appetizer. The portions seemed small, but they were perfect. Everything was beautifully presented. A small minus for the cold mushrooms – a side dish with the turbot – and the fact that we had to take the appetizer plate away while eating. The restaurant is practically a bistro, highly recommended. Very nice interior. Great service. We left satisfied. We recommend it.

11/10/2025: I was out walking the dogs at Gaiazza and it was getting late, I called and asked if we could eat something... Despite the time and the 4 dogs they told me to go anyway... They were very kind and helpful.. and I ate a delicious plate of trofie with pesto!!!

01/10/2025: Excellent food! Long wait for dishes. Small portions.

17/04/2026: I visited Dolce Cabana in Portofino with very high expectations, considering the setting and location. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing in several respects. The terrace, which should be the highlight, is not particularly well-maintained and doesn't convey the special atmosphere one would expect in a place like Portofino. Overall, it feels rather bland and under-appreciated. The service also leaves much to be desired: the staff is present, but they give the impression of being there just to do their job, with no attention or involvement with the customer. It completely lacks that welcoming touch that would make all the difference. Finally, a major negative note concerns the bathroom, which was truly disappointing and not up to par with the setting. In a place like this, certain details should be given much more attention. Overall, an experience that didn't meet the expectations associated with a destination like Portofino.

08/04/2026: Good views, great service and good food. What a way to spend the morning overlooking the spectacular views.

24/04/2026: High-quality food, a welcoming and spacious atmosphere, and truly kind and efficient owners. Recommended.

10/11/2025: I returned to this restaurant for dinner last night, as always, when I treat myself to excellent fresh fish at reasonable prices; and as always, I was not disappointed. Each time I choose different dishes, so I can try them all. This time, my friends and I had as appetizers: The very fresh and tender octopus with potatoes, and a mixed seafood antipasto (a fascinating dish from this restaurant that I highly recommend), followed by spaghetti alla brezza marinara for the first course, stuffed squid for the second course, and finally, chocolate soufflé for dessert. Everything was truly delicious!
