Trattoria: locale informale, tipico e popolare con cibi caratteristici di una precisa zona geografica. Ristorante: locale formale con posti assegnati e servizio al tavolo. Con queste definizioni facciamo chiarezza sull’identità del nostro locale! Ma la trattoria è anche: qualità della materia prima, semplicità della preparazione dei piatti, servizio essenziale ed economicità dei prezzi. Ed è questo è il tipo di locale che abbiamo deciso di essere… senza fronzoli, senza trucchi ma assolutamente vero!
Famous for its pesto, this warm, old-world Ligurian restaurant also features handmade pasta.

Most remarkable local restaurant in Genova with fresh food. Reservation required! Otherwise you will be staying in a long queque with average chances to be seated. Even we were waiting to be seated but we had a reservation
Super tasty food. The best place to try typical pasta with genovese pesto. Few varieties of it. So the typical food from Genova: green pasta taglierini with „branziPesto” must try here.
Sea bream ligurian style cool, juicy, with herbs and lemon flavour and boiled potatoes.
House mixed platter is a nice starter.
Very reasonable prices.
Reservations here on the other hand are average – we were seated with another couple by the table of 5 people instead of enjoying meal alone. It’s quite loudly inside and quite a lot of rush so this is not a place to enjoy your meal forever, rather eat and go as other customers are waiting for their turn. Place is simply overcrowded – both inside and outside.

Excellent Genoese trattoria right in the city center. The waiters were very attentive and friendly, the food was top-notch with generous portions, and the prices were more than fair for what you get. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, everything was clean and tidy. I’d especially highlight their pesto—it was so good that we bought a few jars to take home. Warm recommendation to everyone who wants to try authentic Ligurian cuisine.

We somehow managed to get in Reservations aren’t possible, just go straight to the restaurant. There’s a wait at the door, which is normal. The price was reasonable considering the taste of the food. The lady at the cashier had a slightly stern tone to manage things, but I found that cool It’s a restaurant in Genoa you won’t regret visiting.

The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant, and the staff are friendly and fast. The food is incredibly tasty, especially the pasta with pesto — no surprise since this place is a world champion in pesto. The prices are very reasonable as well.
However, the toilet is a huge downside. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse restroom in my life, and it’s something they really need to fix as soon as possible.

This is definitely highlight of the city! We arrived 10 minutes before opening and there was already a long lineup. Food is absolutely amazing, every dish is tasty. Service was great and the vibe is nice.

I loved the place. The food, ambience, service everything was great. We booked for a table at 7 pm and exactly at 7 they let us in and the food was great. I did not like the pesto cheese cake, it was not my kind of cake but all other food we tasted were fresh and extraordinary. We had 4 dishes including the cheese cake, water and beer. It costs us only 40 euros.
If you want go do no think much, just book already.

Great experience! Good staff, tasty food, English and Italian menus. Liked they had on thr menu what was local, what was traditional, tried the seabass pesto pasta very nice. Was a line when I arrived, but quick moving. Had an entree, main and dessert and 2 glasses of wine for €25.

The food was extremely good, so fresh and delicious. I was stuffed at the end but couldn’t stop eating. Tiramisu was the best I’ve tried. The only thing, make sure you reserve a table, otherwise you’ll have to wait for quite a while to get a table. On the bright side, they gave us free rose while waiting.

This meal was incredible! We arrived right at 12 and were seated outside very quickly. The mussel pasta while simple was insanely delicious, the pesto was super fresh and the tiramisu we were all fighting over at the end. Service was quick and efficient.
We have since been back again to see if the first time was a fluke! It definitely wasn’t. Mussel pasta again incredible, sundried tomato calamari pasta so good, service and price really makes it even better. Would come back a third time if we had the time!
