I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Genova

06/05/2026: I ate very well and highly recommend it.

26/04/2026: Delicious cuisine, excellent first courses, meat and fish specialties, and a wide selection of super desserts! Very friendly staff and excellent service.

26/04/2026: Excellent food, slow and inattentive service, but with great room for improvement. Clean bathroom.

18/04/2026: We were back in Arenzano after a 16-year absence, and we had very fond memories of this pizzeria, so we thought, why not go back? We weren't very happy with the result. In short, it was off-season this time, and the pizzas weren't great. Too much tomato sauce, which was a shame because the crust was thin and cooked in a wood-fired oven.

17/04/2026: Always top-notch at La Cigale. For me, the number one pizzeria in Genoa. Friendly, helpful, and... amazing pizzas! Pizza of the month... Always! ❤️

31/03/2026: Tonight I considered myself lucky to be in Genoa and be able to enjoy your farinata (to go). Unfortunately, when I brought it to my home, I found a product that seemed not to have been freshly cooked but rather reheated before delivery, wrinkled and hard. What a shame, 600 grams of nothing delicious.

07/05/2026: Really good service. Personally, the pizza isn't my best. The mozzarella isn't stretched out, which is a shame.

02/05/2026: April 2025 Update: After a long time, I've returned to Raffa's. This time it was a Saturday, the place was really crowded, and we waited an hour for our pizza after ordering. However, I want to point out that the waiter warned us of the wait time and that the pizza chefs worked at top speed for that hour, churning out all the pizzas at a blistering pace—they really couldn't have done better. Having made this necessary introduction, I must unfortunately confirm my previous review from 2024; the old Raffa's "golden years" are now just a fond memory for me. This time, too, I wasn't thrilled with the pizza, neither good nor bad, as they say (but more bad than good). The price at least remained the same, but it's clear that times have changed (unfortunately). I'm also adding a picture of this latest pizza. As a side note, I should point out that they forgot the oregano on my Bruno, which is perhaps one of the highlights of this pizza. I had it added afterward, "dry," so it didn't blend with the rest of the flavors as it would when added during cooking. Update February 2024: I've been back to Raffa's several times since my initial review. Over the past year and a half, I've noticed that the pizza, while still good, isn't as good first time. Especially the last few times, I've found it to be quite "dry on the surface," and the dough hasn't completely convinced me either. I'd like to point out something that happened the last time that really bothered me: we sat down at the table and when ordering, we were asked if we wanted farinata before the pizzas. Even though we clearly said no and the waiter hadn't written "farinata" on the order sheet, after a few minutes, the farinata was brought to us, which obviously ended up on the final bill. We didn't argue at the time, but I still don't think it's fair at all for them to try to "push" an appetizer onto their customers even if they don't want it. Initial review (2022) referenced in the photos: Fantastic pizza, a must try! A thin, light dough, the quality of the dough is excellent. The ingredients are top-quality, and the pizzas are large and cooked to perfection without being burned. What can I say? Delicious! Going into too much detail would be a waste of words; the pizzas speak for themselves. Personally, I highly recommend the Bruno with stracchino and Taggiasca olives for those who aren't sure, or the Bambi for those who like venison salami and sausage. Whichever pizza you choose, you can't go wrong. Highly recommended.

07/06/2026: On a day at the beach in Recco, we stopped by U fainottu for focaccia for lunch and dinner. The service was very helpful and friendly; even though it was closing time, the owner baked a last pan especially for us. Highly recommended for the friendliness and, of course, for the Recco focaccia (also gluten-free), which was truly delicious. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely stop by!

01/06/2026: We discovered this bakery by chance during a day spent in Recco: a wonderful establishment offering quality products (the traditional focaccia is excellent) and a selection of gluten-free items, with excellent value for those who can't eat gluten. Highly recommended!!!

13/05/2026: The pizza here is excellent - many places manage a thin base but I can’t think of many others that get it so beautifully crisp. It’s kind of no-frills, hole-in-the-wall, with pavement table. It’s great

11/05/2026: The pizza isn't going to surprisingly amazing nor is the apperance going to be super picturesque but you will enjoy the food. The pizza is built on a simple crust with local ingredients from the market around and the taste of it is fantastic from what it is. Meanwhile the service is limited spacing and the timing can be either normal or very long. While the seating area is nothing special So why does this get 5 star? Well the pizza is only 6-15€! For that price and the pizza to taste better then some of the more expensive takeout in Roma especially serve by a happy and wonderful owners. Although this is not a wonderful one time experience I think it's a fantastic repeat experience. Come back for delicious pizza for a delicious price.

14/05/2026: Very carefully prepared Ligurian dishes. If you like this cuisine, you must try it.

12/05/2026: Now a go-to place when I pass through Genoa. Excellent food, welcoming place, and especially friendly staff. You feel at home. Many dishes to try. Right prices.

10/05/2026: Excellent restaurant, with an à la carte or daily menu, excellent value for money

04/05/2026: Excellent pizzas, excellent service, very kind and helpful staff

04/05/2026: If you want to eat excellent pizza in Arenzano, you can't miss this place. Excellent base and ingredients. Helpful and very fast staff. Recommended

24/04/2026: A very warm welcome. A delight, and good advice on choosing your dish.

19/04/2026: There were eight of us, and we had an excellent experience in every respect. The staff gave us a very warm welcome and offered great advice. The food was also outstanding—many of us even ordered a second main course. The large portion of pasta was so huge that it was served on a pizza plate. If I ever find myself in Genoa again, I will definitely come back! Thank you for the warm service and the excellent food!

01/06/2026: All the fish was delicious, excellent dinner!

01/06/2026: 🕵️‍♀️ Although it's been a while since our vacation ended, my wife and I still can't stop counting the places we visited and can't get out of our minds: that amazing place, La Goletta. During our trip to Italy, we traveled to so many places and ate at so many restaurants, but we truly didn't come across another place that prepared seafood and pasta so perfectly. Even amidst Italy's vast gastronomic richness, this place stands at a completely different level for us. 📍 The location of the restaurant is as impressive and peaceful as the flavors it offers. From the moment you step inside, the warm, local atmosphere that surrounds you makes your dining experience even more special and relaxing. Thanks to both the beauty of the surroundings and the refined spirit of the restaurant itself, my wife and I had an unforgettable dinner together. 🤵‍♂️ From the moment we entered until the second we left the table, the staff's attention and professionalism were simply wonderful. The waiters were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful with the menu. Their meticulous guidance ensured that every dish exceeded our expectations. 🍝 As for the food, my wife and I ordered a delicious pasta dish to share. The appetizers that preceded it, and especially the seafood, were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The homemade wine that accompanied all these exquisite dishes left a very elegant and smooth taste on the palate. And of course, we finished with a magnificent tiramisu, every bite of which was absolutely perfect. 💸 Considering the price-performance ratio, the bill was extremely reasonable for such a high-end seafood experience and impeccable service. Anyone who wants to experience a true and unforgettable culinary feast in Italy, in a very warm atmosphere, should definitely head here. This was by far our biggest favorite during our Italian vacation. We will definitely return just for La Goletta. It was a very special and beautiful place for us.

01/05/2026: Excellent pizza. Perfectly leavened and super digestible.

28/04/2026: Excellent cheese focaccia Very good pizza, but it could have been cooked a little longer. We'll definitely be back.
