In A Nutshell:…read more -Little english is spoken here. -Very generic menu w/ coffees, some wine and beer. -It's in the middle of a very quiet court. Overall, service was so-so, menu was limited. Wouldn't come here again.

A sign on their wall advertises that their specialty is caffè con crema--so we had two for 1 euro each. As usual, it's faster and cheaper to stand at the bar, order, and have your coffee instead of sitting down and waiting for service. service was efficient, if somewhat steely--the norm for Italian cafes, I think--and their English was more passable than my Italian. would recommend if you're in the area and looking for a quick coffee.

Don't support this business! We were on vacation in Genoa when we decided to make a pit stop here…read moreto let my Mom take a short rest who was quite tired from sightseeing. Being thoughtful and respectful of the establishment, we purchased a few tiramisus and ate it sitting outside. Within a few minutes we were asked to leave without any reason - the area and establishment wasn't even busy! I'm assuming they felt our purchase wasn't big enough to warrant sitting there...Super rude staff and the tiramisus weren't even good...really ruined our visit in Genoa. We highly suggest supporting another business if possible.

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

It's our third year that we come for a vacation here in this lovely town. But our first time here…read moreat this restaurant. We booked ahead, but actually besides us there was only one other table that night (a weekday). It's a comfy, cosy place with a nice courtyard. Our Bulldog was welcome as well. We ordered the fried seafood and the octopus meatballs for starters. A bottle of Pigato (white) with the meal. The fried seafood was really nice. Tasted fresh and crispy. A good mix of different fish and seafood. The octopus meatballs were very disappointing. Didn't taste fresh unfortunately and had a strong flavour. Not sure it wasn't very fresh or just frozen. We love seafood, but this wasn't it. For the mains we chose the Pesto Gnocchi and Shrimp Risotto. The Gnocchi were pretty good, the Pesto was ok. The shrimp in the Risotto were really nice, but the rice for our likings a bit overcooked - we do enjoy a bit more bite. The wine was nice though. Pigato is always a good choice. The food was a bit on the disappointing side then. We had higher expectations, and this town has so many choices of restaurants. Not sure it was a slow day or we were just a bit unlucky that day. The reviews are very good - but not our experience. That said, I have to point out that our waiter was fantastic. A really nice guy, took care of us very nicely. That was really great. And the prices are fair too.

The dining area is decorated with candles, flowers and nice old fashioned mirrors, which makes the place very quaint and welcoming. It is located on the main boulevard that runs along the water, but you have to walk down a small alley to get to the entrance of the restaurant. Definitely a place to stop by for dinner if you are in Santa Margherita.

Besides bread, focaccia, pastry and more they sell very very good cooked meals. Meat, veggies, mushrooms and more in all varieties. Some still warm and some made to eat cold. Looks really homemade/handmade and tastes like it. Really nice, authentic food. Delicious. The bread is very good too, but the meals is what we will remember this place for. Went to Lerici once and once to Portofino. Grabbed lunch here twice to bring with for a picnic. Perfection. Had some onion focaccia (lots of onions, loved it), meatballs, veggies (onion with artichokes and zucchini), green beans, beef roast with sauce (brasato), Vitello Tonnato (veal covered with a creamy tuna sauce) and a mix seafood stew with shrimp, squid and mussels. All delicious items. Really nice ingredients, full of flavour. Staff was nice and helpful, gave out some samples to try. Prices are made for locals, very very well priced.

Also a good number of tables. Some outside in the lovely streets of Santa Margherita. Got some different slices of cakes, a small chocolate tarte, some patisserie and and also two cream puffs. All were solid items. Very good enough. But of the whole load it was the cream puffs that really stood out: Nice, light and a really good whipped cream filling. Came back for some more of these the other day. There are lots of bakeries and pasticcerias in town. This one here is a very good one. At least the cream puffs you should try.
