We did our tasting outside looking over the vineyards and country side. They offer 6 wines and you can choose to taste 4 or all 6. We chose 6 and they were all good. The woman working brought 1-2 wines at a time over to our table at a time, told us about the wines, and then left us to enjoy it. Our group's favorite was the Merlot. They also offered bread with their own olive oil, and some delicious crostini. Once we were done with our tasting, we were also offered a tour of their cellar where we learned about their winemaking process. I'd highly recommend a visit if you are in the area- it was about a 20 minute taxi from Lucca

We dined here on our final night in Genoa and everything was outstanding. It was a busy night -…read morejust at the end of the Christmas holiday season, so a lot of restaurants were either closed or full. Luckily we were able to secure a table without a reservation, in a cosy back room. Service was a little slow at first but our server was apologetic, and once we ordered everything went smoothly after that. We asked for a wine recommendation, given this is an enoteca, and were able to enjoy an excellent red variety (Altavia) I never would have known about or chosen otherwise. Smooth yet strong, it went perfectly with the hearty meal to follow. I started with the raw beef with shaved artichoke salad while the sweetie had the fried zucchini. Both were delicious - I especially enjoyed the unique take on a tartare. For a pasta course I had to get the wide noodles in meat ragu - I believe it was wild boar - and it was delicious. Sweetie had the linguine in pesto, which had become his obsession throughout our travels in Genoa. It was another winning dish. Smartly we had only ordered one meat entree to share - the beef steak in a rich gorgonzola sauce. A perfect dish for winter, the beef was perfectly cooked and the pungent cheese sauce was decadent in the best way possible. Somehow we found a little room for a shared dessert of apple cake, espresso and grappa before rolling out the door back to our hotel. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to other travelers looking to sample and enjoy hearty Genovese cuisine paired with an outstanding wine selection.

During our recent short stay in Genoa, we found Enoteca G. Migone nearby. It's apparently the oldest wine shop in Genoa (1925) and has a very distinct interior. The shop is located in the heart of the city, near Piazza de Ferrari, and just in front of the distinctive church of St. Matthew (San Matteo), founded in 1125. From the store Ristorante San Matteo is close by (see separate review), which specializes in traditional dishes of Genoa and Liguria. The Enoteca has a wide selection of wines and price points. I bought a bottle of local white wine for 5 Euros and it was just what we wanted. Service was friendly and the expertise is there for anyone wanting to make more sophisticated wine choice.

Best culinary experience of my life!…read more I don't take this review lightly and I mean every word of this title. I first met Paulo in Oct 2021. My wife and I were looking for an 'authentic' wine tasting experience near Florence (something close enough for my wife and I to ride a moped through Florence). Paulo didn't have the most reviews online but every review I saw was 5 stars. This piqued my interest..."there's something here". We find ourselves walking in the front door of an old mom and pop shop bodega/general store. Paulo greets us warmly and we walk down some stairs to his basement. We're greeted by a pre set up tasting table that just looks fantastic. Paulo goes on to teach us about the components of the tongue and how the various fruit, nut, cheese, combinations hit the senses that just so happen to pair perfectly with his Rose wine--and that was just the beginning. To this day we continue to recommend him without reservation to all of our friends (with 10+ friends being able to experience his tasting, and each agreeing this was one of their best memories in Italy). We also continue to order his wine and olive oil direct to the US and his wine currently occupies the top shelf on our wine rack. Paulo, you're awesome!!

The tasting ( in my experience) was much more than wine tasting but a combination of cheeses, jams, mortadella, prosciutto, and of course wines which he makes. The first course included a rosé style wine and a few different cheese all of which were different ages, topped with different jams including a truffle blackberry jam and cashews which were absolutely incredible! I will not spoil the rest of the experience but if you're looking to go wine tasting in true Tuscany with generations of experience look no further. I can't wait to go back
