I'm giving this place a 5 star because the pasta was made in the house. The shrimps were extremely…read morefresh. The pasta was not too oily and / or too salty and not loaded with sauce. The pasta alla Genovese was aromatic and tasted superb! We also ordered fish of the day ( Fresh Baked seabass with potatoes , olives and pinioli) it was full of flavors, served on its own broth! This is my kind of place to go to, where the locals eat , and everything gets prepared after you order. And the big plus is we got the best server Diana!

Went here for dinner last night and loved it :-)) it's a bit tricky to find this place however,…read moreonce you get there it's a really nice local place with, menus that have English descriptions if needed and, staff that can manage ok English and willing to explain in the best way possible the menu. Their food is typical Ligurian style with local classics and lots of options for pasta, fish and meat. I wanted good seafood so, I ordered the local fish stewed in a tomato gravy with olives. This is a huge dish and takes about 30 mins to prepare and, enough for two people to share :-)) at €17 for this main, it's the best fish I have had in a long time. It's a dish made with mussels, prawns, scampi, sardines, cod and couple of other local fish I don't know the names of. Caution : if you don't like bones then don't order this dish ;-)) I even ate the prawns in their shell as it was a thin edible shell. Many people don't like this but, this type of prawn should be eaten whole without peeling :-))) For dessert I had a fabulous milk based cake with a strawberry jus. All in all a fabulous meal and the place was packed outside with no tables free for the evening. Prices are very reasonable and I would have paid almost twice that for the same food in France or Germany :-) If you want good local Genoa cooking with some decent local wines then check this place out. For service and friendliness it gets 5 stars :-))

Great cappuccino! It's a nice spot for people watching in Genova.. sipping coffee and munch on pistachio cupcake... fantabulous!! The space is rather small, that's common for a downtown metro cafe. The staircase to the upstairs bathroom could be quite challenging: narrow and winding.. and low ceiling..

Excellent gelato and pastries here :-)))…read more Ran into this place by accident as we were lost in some laneway and I spotted this place and said I wanted to stop for an ice cream :-)) The lady who owns it speaks ok English and she let me taste some of the gelato and it was excellent. I ended up choosing chocolate and pistachio and loved them both. We also bought some bun filled with vanilla here and it was exquisite. Great service, great taste and reasonable prices :-))) what more can you ask for ?? I would happily come here any day.
