Delicious food - traditional ligurian cuisine at its best. One of the best pesto I've tried in Genoa! Remember to make a table reservation. The place is usually full, every day.

Superb "tipico fritto Genovese". Nice place, great value for money. Book a table in advance as place is small!

Excellent local food, fair prices, and great atmosphere. Expect the place to be crowded at most times.

Pesto sauce meals are delicious. But waiters don't recognise the importance and uniqueness of the restaurant.

Pasta Pesto is one of the best things I ever tried! But stuff are not welcoming and friendly.

Food is great, charging 2.5 eur for tap water is not.

Le delizie della cucina tradizionale genovese preparate con maestria e servite con gentilezza: imperdibile.

Отлично место , чтобы пообедать ! Выбирали его по принципу чем больше местных тех вкуснее , так и оказалось!
Anna Paula MásOctober 6, 2017
Um pesto maravilhoso... leve, como nunca comi ... o molho pesto é feito com um tipo especial de batata :) . Recomendo
Michel Klapp OligerDecember 27, 2014
Todo es muy rico, las pastas increíbles! Pero... Los postres no me gustaron, el Tiramisu viene x separado, es decir, te traen un café, la crema y una galleta de champaña :(
Kemal KilciJuly 22, 2016
Pestolu makarnaları çok güzel. Karışık kızartma tabağı şahane.
MushinDecember 6, 2012
Location cromaticamente bella. Cucina di qualità e prezzi super accessibili. Incarna lo spirito di questa città: bella senza tirarsela.
Linh-Lan DaoMay 2, 2022
Possibilité de manger sur une place ensoleillée mais dans des assiettes en carton. Les fritures étaient OK, les gnocchi sans goût, mais le minestrone au pesto était bien. Dommage que ce soit inégal.

Forse il mio ristorante preferito. Ottima cucina genovese gastronomica in ristorante simpatico. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

Sono un po 1�7 interessato, ma sicuramente partire dal pesto per arrivare al tuccu sarebbe una degustazione che potrebbe portare indietro nel tempo.

O pesto é divino! Atendimento ótimo, cerveja Blonde genovesa deliciosa.
Margherita GalantiOctober 3, 2014
Nella descrizione non metterei "cucina mediterranea" bensì "genovese". Ottimo locale, ma leverei un paio di tavoli. Troppo angusto così
Laura MSeptember 24, 2021
Trippa fritta,pansoti in salsa di noci, scorzonera con burro e acciughe. Gentili e veloci nel servizio
Roberta GianniniOctober 28, 2013
Comida simples mas especial, atendimento muito simpático. Peça o polpetti ao molho ragù genovês
Nese AydınAugust 2, 2016
Pesto soslu herşeyi yiyebilirsiniz! Ama özellikle kızartma tabağını kaçırmayın:)
