Best places: Ligurian restaurants in Genoa, Italy

👍👍 We would highly recommend Da I Ricci Trattoria. Located in the heart of the historical Genova in a very small street, you’ll enjoy the food and the coffee. Sonia and her team are really warm and cheerful. The good is great (pesto homemade, pasta al dente, fish from the day…)and for 12€ the menu per...

😐 Beautiful authentic location with a local genovese cuisine, the service was very good and the staff very welcoming , we were not very impressed with the antipasti but pasta was good . The unpleasant surprise was the pan & copperto charge of 14 euros each , we were charged just for 3 persons being a...

Pesto lasagne, fried seafood & other traditional Genoese dishes in a no-frills trattoria.

😠 This is probably the WORST restaurant I have ever been to. There was no love in anything that they did, starting with the copied print outs of the menu, that was handwritten, filled with crossed out items and barely legible. We had a reservation at the big table. That was right in front of the kitch...

👍👍 I could not be more satisfied with my dinner! This place was absolutely delicious! Our Airbnb host recommended this place for dinner on a night stay in Genoa and quickly became my favorite dinner in a 3 week Italy trip. This is a must when in Genoa. Make sure to make a reservation, this place seems...

👍👍 Excellent restaurant, fresh seafood and great family working inside. Tina, the chef, offered me a real taste of Genova food. I will definitely come back!!

👍👍 Wow! The Pasta we had was amazing. We had two vegetarian pasta dishes. Especially the one with raddichio was amazing! I'm still thinking of this dish sometimes. One of the best experiences we've had. The waiter was super nice as well.

👍 We have been to the Triglia more than once and it has always proved itself with each visit: excellent raw materials, very good and well presented dishes. Kind, young and nice staff; attentive and prepared for celiac disease (if possible they adapt the dishes, which is not a given). Bill in line wit...

🫤 On the first visit, in general, everything is fine: nice style, pasta Al Pesto is a small portion, but tasty and well served. The staff wasn't very friendly, but that didn't really bother me. On the second visit: I wanted to take a picture of a friend, we were told that there was no coffee. There...

👍👍 The best food you will taste! Italian homemade food! Really good pasta, the fish was spectacular and the TIRAMISU dessert unforgettable! Cozy place to have a real Italian experience.

🫤 An utter disappointment. The interior design of this place is grand. The waiters are perfectly dressed. The food... bland. Had the Milanese and roasted potatoes. Came with oily, half frozen, french fries. The Milanese had the right consistency but zero taste. No one asked us how the food tasted. No...
