I ordered the toast which was described on the menu as being bread, ham, and cheese which is simple but it was wonderfully executed. It was basically like a grilled ham and cheese panini which was delicious and would be good at any time of day, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The pancakes were also very yummy and they were very generous with the maple syrup. Although it is a small cafe with not many seats or tables, we were lucky enough to get one and it was very cozy and perfect for a rainy morning in Genoa. All of the gentlemen working there were very nice and all in all it was a great experience and not very expensive either. The croissant was only 2 euros, the toast was only 5, the pancakes were about 7, and the cappuccinos were only 1.80. would highly recommend eating here if you're in Genoa

Mild weather, so we ate outside, which also gave us the opportunity to people watch. My husband had the Spaghetti con Scoglio, I had the Spaghetti Carbonara (my first time eating this dish).

The Carbonara was unctuous with yolky goodness and tasted like breakfast done right. The servers were attentive and the price was fair. Will definitely visit again...

The pesto ravioli in a cream sauce was good. But pesto being the local specialty, most restaurants probably make it fresh. The squid filled with shrimp paste and asparagus should definitely be passed over; way too salty and the asparaguses were overcooked. I was told it's a local's joint. I'd take my 30€ and spend it elsewhere.

This restaurant is aptly named because "The Curious Fork" experiments with Italian and Genovese…read moreclassics - and its curious concoctions delight the palette. We began our Easter brunch with two dishes (both of whose names escape me, unfortunately): a kind of hot, spinach fritatta nestled on top of a perfectly parmesan, cream sauce; and a fish cake that was a terrine of fish spiced with fresh ginger and citrus. The former was rich without being heavy, while the latter tasted bright and fresh. As secondi, we shared a steak in a cognac and honey sauce and a trio of traditional Genovese "cakes," which might be better translated as English "pies" with cheese. The steak may have been just a tad too rare, but it was seared beautifully, and the rosemary-spiced sauce was so good that all residual beckoned to be sopped up and consumed with table bread. The pies consisted of a leek and two spinach variations (one with ricotta?), all of which showcased the best in each vegetable and had obviously been prepared with homemade dough. We rounded off our meal with an Easter dessert of dolce latte fritto ("sweet fried milk") and a slice of torta di pistacchio ("pistachio cake"). Admittedly, the dolce latte fritto - crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside - was better than the torta, yet still the lemony pistachio filling on the cake was complimented well by its buttery crust. My only criticism of the meal would go to the house red wine, which although passable, was overwhelmed by tannins. In reading this review, you may be inclined to believe that the restaurant relies too heavily upon sauces to create flavor within its dishes; I would like to assure you that the dishes served with sauces were each sampled without said accoutrement, and the flavor was always palpable. Perhaps the most memorable aspect of our Easter Brunch was the impeccable service: The food was served quickly. The waiters respected our space, yet never veered far from the table. The owner, Roberto, was eager to interact with clients and to recommend items on the menu. Indeed, he made us feel comfortable immediately upon entering the restaurant and even brought us small glasses of a local, dessert wine to taste. La Forchetta Curiosa was not only a wonderful restaurant in which to spend Easter brunch while traveling, it is a wonderful restaurant.
