Took maybe about 15 minutes for the pizza to be ready. We went for the classic margherita pizza. It was so delicious! Definitely a great place to pop in and grab a bite.

This restaurant is the REAL DEAL! My family and I were visiting Genoa for the day and decided to…read moretake a trip over to Portofino via cab. As we discussed food plans, our driver suggested eating in Santa Margherita as the food was better quality and better priced. We took his advice and stopped by a row of restaurants. When we asked for recommendations, he simply said "all are good." Pressed for time My brother made the quick decision for this place and we crossed our fingers and hoped it would be good. BOY, was the food BETTER than GOOD!! We tried the gnocchi w/ pesto, another pasta with pesto, two different spaghetti dishes, and the ravioli. Some of my family is vegan and vegetarian, and the food fit their needs. The ingredients were simple, yet fresh and flavorful. We ordered the house wine, and beer for my dad. We walked away paying 20€ a piece (4 people) and I was very pleased. Customer service was great. Although their was a language barrier, our server spoke English, and was very personable. He was even kind enough to give me a mini lesson on Speaking Italian. We dined al fresco and the view of the parks and ocean was beautiful. I've been home for weeks now, and we still have not stopped talking about this dining experience. Definitely one of the best food experiences of my trip. I would definitely recommend.

It's a small hole-in-the-wall that can easily be side stepped, but it's well worth the visit. My boo and I stopped in after meandering through Santa Margherita. We had a hefty breakfast just a few hours before and were feeling a little drained from the hot summer sun. Hence, we decided to grab a quick snack instead of a sit down lunch. Boy, oh boy. We lucked out! This place was deeeeelicious. The focaccia bread was soft and well-seasoned; it was a perfect complement to the marinara and sacchino cheese topping. While there were only a few whole olives atop the pizza, the rich olive flavor came through and blended well with the rest. As a cherry on top, it was only €2.70 for a large rectangular piece! Would highly recommend this cute little place. Other tips: only has one small 2-seater so not great to stay...more of a grab and go. Make sure you grab a ticket from the front entrance- this serves as your place in line. We had to wait 5-7min for our turn.

This is a very tiny shop, specializing in the focaccia de recco. We stopped in for a quick lunch…read moreand loved it. It's very much a 'hole in the wall' sort of a place but they do one thing and they do it very well. The focaccia is made to order and is brought out to the plastic table when it's ready. It's paper thin with a layer of cheese in between. It's unreal. It was unlike anything we've ever had and if you're ever in the vicinity of Recco it's worth checking out. They have a few varieties but we stuck with the basic. One is good enough for two people to share.
