    The pizza was absolutely amazing, bursting with flavors. The service was outstanding, fast, and incredibly polite. Even though the kitchen was closed, they served us, going above and beyond to accommodate our needs. A big thank you to the staff for their exceptional hospitality! I can't wait to go back and try more of their amazing pizza. Highly recommended!

    We came to Genoa not knowing what to expect. Arrived on June 2nd that was a holiday and at first we thought we would struggle to find a nice place to have a quick bite. We came across this place, the service was great the food was great. More of a local experience. Hope you get to try the various dishes that they have.

    Definitely agree with some other reviews. The service is hectic. 5 or 6 waiters on a Sunday with less than 50% capacity and staff were running back and forth unorganized. Not to say that they weren't busting their butts, just a lot of inefficiency. Waited way too long for any service to begin or a basic drink order. Flagging down staff was a game of whack a mole. Lots of tables waiting, looking around to order, several groups sat at dirty tables etc. A professional needs to conduct some training with the staff here. Some of our party enjoyed the food, some strictly did not. Prices seemed fine. Good sidewalk atmosphere. Big place, does it only have a single bathroom that everyone including staff shares? Hopefully everyone is being hygienic because it was a circus show in there.

    As it was my last night in Genova, I decided to treat myself and had dinner at Zena Zuena. I ordered the margherita and to drink, a coke zero. For dessert I had the classic cheesecake. The pizza was good. I especially enjoyed the cheesecake. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere in a lovely part of Genova.

    We arrived at the restaurant around 2:40 PM, a nice waitress asked if we want to eat, we said yes so she asked us to wait for 10 minutes to be seated. After we were seated and received the menus it was a bit after 3 PM. Another, rather rude waitress came to take our order without saying even a single word to us. After some time she came back and said that the kitchen is closed so we won’t get our food. I am very well aware that restaurants in Italy take a break during the day but here the waitresses knew since the moment we came that we want to eat and we spent 30 minutes waiting to suddenly get the information that the kitchen is closed. Disappointing

    We waited for more than 30min and asked the waiters 5 times for the menu. Haven't seen a chaotic service like that in a while. After all, we left - good look in future, you'll definetly need it.

    One of the waiters (man) was rude. My pizza was decent but the artichokes were completely dry and under the pizza too much flour. I have been in the other restaurant (via Ceccardi) and the quality was stellar. Too bad for this one.

    The pizza was really delicious, although the pasta portion wasn’t that big, so if you are hungry go for a different food. They were super nice and even brought extra dog food for my dog.

    If you want to try Italian style pizza, this is a great place. Pizza is very thin and cruchy, they also use high quality ingredients on top and is very tasty. Staff is pleasant but little disorganized maybe because of the too many customers at the same time. You can sit on a terrace or inside.

    Good pasta, very bad service. We were kept standing for a long time, even if there were free tables. I ordered something and it was not delivered even though I notified 3 employees. I did not receive salt and pepper at the table, and lemon for the fried seafood platter, anchovies only after I insisted. A seat fee is charged.

    we ordered two different focacceria and I would like to say it was the best experience in my life.

  • 1/5 Adi P. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't get to try the menu because while waiting 50min for the kitchen to open, the waitress would not check on us and focused on the orders of new clients that arrived. Waited there 1h and 20min until we decided to go elsewhere because they forgot about us.

    Stuff is nice and service is fast.

  • 3/5 Mikael L. 6 years ago on Google
    Popular place, service not that quick but still charming. Pizza was special. Intersting combinations. I still argue with myself whether I liked, disliked it or misunderstood it. A memory. Still worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Eliz D A. 3 years ago on Google
    Best focaccia with cheese I had in my life. The farinata is a bit more in the greasy side, but amazing as well. Amazing flavors!About 15- 20 euros for 2.

    Came here for breakfast to have pizza but they had only pre made pies. Had spinach and egg slices by weight, which were quite good and moist. Parking was a bit tough though.

  • 5/5 Angela J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great outdoor seating for people watching. Happy servers. Focaccia & gnocchi al pesto Genovese were delicious!!!

  • 4/5 Aemilian M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good pizza in a bustling location a bit outside of the old town. They also have some other dishes similar to pizza that might seem a bit more experimental.

  • 5/5 Remo 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly and helping servers - attentive and smiling for a change!! Gentle attitude which recharges. Selected food from farinata to pizzas, passing thru a huge choice of focaccias. Gluten free dishes and carefully cooked crisply deep fried local fish. Wine also -by-the glass choice is large and other drinks as well. To recommend and to return !

    One of the busiest restaurant in Genova City. But the food were amazing. We loved the Tiramisu 😃

  • 3/5 Aggelos G. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice pizza and the place. The staff was not so kind. And we pay too much for that we have eaten.

  • 4/5 asli u. 5 years ago on Google
    There are many choices of both food and drinks. The focaccias are good. I am not sure if the minestrone was fresh, it tasted average and it had only traces of olive oil although I asked twice for it. Service was friendly but very slow as only one guy was serving when we were there.

    Great place for a bite to eat, I stumbled upon it as a solo traveler (VEGAN) IN ITALY! and they made me a outstanding pizza without cheese and lots of veggies. Really delicious. Carolina was great at accomodating my needs and a excellent server. Also reasonably priced food. Loved it
