    Had some coffee and cake here. Coffee was nothing special and choco cake was good, however (in)famous italian hospitality to take extra bit of cash from 'stranieri' (strangers) worsen whole impression for me. E.g. regular capuccino on the pricelist was 1.6 Euro but on the bill it was 2.6 Euro. Same is for cake: 5 Euro on the pricelist - 6 Euro on the bill. Yes I know they have this 'table service', but it usually is 20 to 50 cents, not a euro per cup. What I really want is for those people to experience same attitute they give to themselves, when they are on vacation in other country.

    Slow service (was ignored many times by the waitress), not many food options, quite expensive and only took cash. The cafe itself has lovely decor and a large variety of drinks.

    Very nice 100 years old rooms and pleasent terasse outside. This place was a poultry shop before becoming a cafe in 1917. Service and food quite good.Typical atmosphere. You can discover two beautiful rooms even at the 2nd floor. (Forget the bathroom.)

    Great food! It's simple yet super tasty. I did jot try the deserts, but they look amazing and are made fresh in front of your eyes.

    We had a break in this old historic cafè for hot chocolate and sweat's (panettone) during our trip in Genova.

    A lovely spot in the historical city center. The tearoom upstairs is a hidden gem, and the pastries and cakes are simply fantastic. Worth a visit

  • 5/5 Martijn S. 1 year ago on Google
    great looking little bar, inside, and nice places to sit outside on the “climb” that leads to the local square, great mojito and service.

    My husband and I have been to Genoa four times and we always stop here. Either for the amazing sandwiches at lunch, I still think about the croque monsieur, or the wonderful aperitivo. We call it "the green bar" because it has a green sign outside and the terrace is painted green. I look forward to returning soon!

    Тhe waiter spilled my coffee all over me and brought a order wrong to my friend. Maybe it was a coincidence, but I'm not happy with the service and would not be back.

    Mediocre place, overestimated, worst service that I've ever had, and expensive. Don't waste your time here
