A superb tasting with wine pairings! Delicious, creative takes on classic Ligurian cuisine. The staff was warm and enthusiastic. Will return next time we are in Genova!

Great food and service. We had the 5 course chef’s selection. A rabbit dish was particularly tasty. Various nibbles and palate cleansers are included. With wine, a very fair £100pp. Not easy to find up a lift at the back of the local Eataly.

Some of the best Value you can get out of a tasting menu. The Mare menu 5 course was excellent, the dry aged fish, Bottoni Molluscs, Risotto, and Monk Fish were all wonderful. Portions were nice and Breads were plenty.

Best rooftop restaurant in town
We’re Genovese and live right across from this place, so when we want to be sure we’ll eat well and enjoy a professional (but never stiff) service, we come here. We dined on the terrace at golden hour with a surprise five-course tasting menu — rooted in Ligurian tradition, but elevated with remarkable creativity. The kind of cuisine that speaks for itself. No need for theatrics or fuss: just real, expressive food.
Their take on the cappon magro — which you can see in the photo I’ve posted — is simply unforgettable. I won’t share more images, to avoid spoilers, but each course was a discovery.
The wine list is solid, with some of the best Ligurian bottles we’ve tried. And the atmosphere? Relaxed yet refined. This is not a rigid fine dining spot — it’s a place where innovation and local identity meet, without losing warmth.
Whether you’re from Genoa and want to see how traditional dishes can evolve, or you’re a curious traveler who’s already experienced more classic local cuisine and wants to go beyond — Marin is a must-visit.
We come here once or twice a year, and we’ve always been impressed — not just since the Michelin star, but long before that. The team is committed and consistent, and they truly respect dietary needs: you’ll find excellent vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options thoughtfully integrated into the menu.
Price-to-quality ratio? Fair and well balanced, considering the level of the kitchen and the overall experience.

My wife and I went here for her birthday, and without a doubt, we can confirm it is the best restaurant ever.
First of all, our compliments go to the staff; they aren’t just polite and kind, but above all, highly professional and competent. In addition, the quality of the food is unbelievable. Every dish was astonishing, even though I have to admit the flavors of a few plates on the MAREE menu were a bit intense for my palate. Personally, I would suggest ordering the CLASSIC menu instead.
Without further ado, we absolutely invite you to try this location—you cannot go wrong. Last but not least, we were completely stuffed! You might think you’ll leave a star-rated restaurant hungry, but that is absolutely not the case here. The cherry on top was not only the reasonable bill but the two glasses of wine gifted to us for the birthday. We will absolutely be back.

High-quality raw materials used to propose original dishes with an intense and delicious flavour. We took the chef’s menu of classics and were delighted. The focaccia genovese with seaweed, breadsticks and crispy tongues served at the opening all made by the Eataly bakery… sublime. We will return with pleasure to taste more dishes. Very good the chef and very good the guys in the dining room.

Great first experience in a starred restaurant. Food was unbelievable! We had the classic menu, 5 courses picked by the chef (the last one is always a dessert). Amouse bouche really appreciated and some of them super tasty – my favorite was the pickled fennel! Focaccia was super soft and truly an helpful tool to do ‘scarpetta’. Tortellini with pesto was mind blowing too!
A wonderful experience, the service was very attentive and explained every dish with all the details.
My only side note is that the service was extremely slow, about 30 min in between courses, a bit too long in my opinion, considering the restaurant was almost empty. Also a backhoe music would be appreciated as it was super quiet inside and almost felt awkward to talk!
Price is right for the experience- definitely worth it!

By far the best culinary experience I have had in Italy. The place was beautiful, right next to a window with a great view on the top floor. The staff could not be better, they were friendly and even though there was some limitations on the language it was still a great experience. The prices were not high for the quantity and quality. No doubt that I would come back here. If you are a tourist or local you must come and visit this place. I still cannot believe a paid 30eur for all these dishes.

Unfortunately this is the worst Michelin restaurant and the worst restaurant in Italy that I’ve eaten in. The service was very good but the food was not. The pasta dishes were good but everything else was either bland or downright bad. I was honestly shocked and can’t believe this restaurant has a Michelin star.

Innovative fine dining with a view
Centrally located and set on the top floor, this place offers a beautiful view — especially at sunset. One of the coolest parts is the open kitchen: you can watch the chefs plate each dish with precision, which adds to the whole experience!
We went for the 7-course mystery tasting menu and were blown away. The flavours were creative, unexpected, and absolutely delicious. Every dish felt like a surprise. For this level of cooking, the price was more than reasonable. A must-visit for food lovers!
