This was the best meal I’ve had in Italy in my month of traveling. As a pescatarian I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they only serves fish dishes fish dishes. Nothing disappointed. The tuna belly melted in my mouth and the flavors were incredible. I need to come back to Bologna with my mother so she can try this restaurant!

Seafood with a creative twist!
From the welcome sparking wine, to the amuse-bouche to the starred and the main courses, every dish was crafted with such delicacy and thoughtfulness.
The staff were also very kind and helpful. They go through the story of each dish by your table when they serve, which makes the whole dining experience even more enjoyable!
A must try in Genova!!

We called the restaurant last minute and were super lucky to get a table, especially as the restaurant caters to limited number of guests to maintain their food quality. First thanks for accommodating us!
Now to the dining experience. We highly recommend including Alla Lunga in your itinerary if your are visiting the Italian Rivera. Each dish was packed with different flavors that were all fresh, carefully designed and offered delicious local seafood taste. Be it the lemony olive oil or the anchovies butter complimented by berry sauce or the calamari salad with tomato sauce or the fish with spicy sauce made from home grown peppers .. each dish was distinct and delicious. The chef was kind enough to accommodate us and serve an off menu dish – a perfectly grilled fish with zucchini and carrot salad that our child thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Chef! If I really had a pick a thing, then the only thing that slightly disappointed me was that the restaurant did not serve red wine by glass.
With regard to service, the restaurant staff members were polite and friendly. They were easy approach. The chef himself ensured he met each guests and shared his passion for food, farming and flavours. It was also lovely to meet restaurant dog Willie. He was amazingly well behaved.
While the food is exclusive the restaurant vibe is low key and easy going. We really enjoyed ourselves as it felt more like a relaxed fine dining experience versus a fancy one.

Came here on my birthday because of the reviews and I must say it was a very beautiful culinary experience! A lot of unique flavors for a good price (Per person we had 3 courses + drinks for +- €50 pp). The bread is also amazing and the service is very quickly. I recommend the chocolate cake as dessert. Would definitely come back here if I visit Genoa again.

We had a lovely dinner. We didn’t have a reservation, but they were able to seat us right away. They helped us choose a bottle of local wine to accompany our meal and offered a small bite to start the meal. Overall, it was delicious food and wonderful service!

This was above and beyond and I know seafood being from New Orleans. I could taste the Ligurian Sea. Every bite was made with heart and soul. The Chef was king of the kitchen and the entire dining experience. The service was impeccable. Best sea urchins ever. See for yourself – look at my pictures. Just left there totally satisfied, in heaven and sad to leave the Genova experience which you will not have unless you top it off with Alla Lunga Ristorante. Totally AMAZEBALLS.

Best meal in Italy. Seafood is delicious here. The sea urchin pasta is great. Staff was super attentive and friendly. English menu and wait staff spoke perfect English. A must in Genova.

The food was not good, the service was meh (maybe except the chef – he was passionate).
Saddens me to leave 2 stars, I had very high expectations of the place, but I was majorly disappointed, especially given the other reviews (4.8 at the time of writing)

I have waited way too much to go to Alla Lunga. So, if you are in Genoa, just book a table. Lunch or dinner. Chef Gebris has designed a fine menu with all things Mediterranean sea (or the most flavorful ones). I have been living in Liguria for almost two years now and hadn’t still tried capasanta – then, I had probably the best. The gnocchetti was cooked to perfection and, although the tomatoes are not highlighted on the dish description, they are the most delicious thing about that. The rana pescatrice has the same “issue”: doesn’t feature the lard on the description and now I can only think that I gotta be back soon for the lard. And the green sauce. So, be prepared to order and get surprised for the delicious unexpected ingredients. I couldn’t try more things because I had more bread than a person should have at once. All homemade, natural levitation, baked to perfection, served with lime infused olive oil and a killer butter (I’m not gonna spoil that one; go figure… you’re welcome). Two things to pay attention: the aged tuna and the fresh herbs. All the Chef’s doing. Just amazing. I had the most friendly service from the waiting staff and a warm welcome from the kitchen one. Thank you all for the amazing experience. See you soon!

This place surprised us totally with its food magic. Every detail is top quality. Several kinds of bread that in themselves are making the visit interesting. And that oil…
Seafood cooked with knowledge, passion and a creative mind. Just how the tomato in the fish soup didn’t take over, but instead added to the pallette.
Great selection of wines. Super friendly staff.
When in Genova – eat here!
