An absolute must place to visit when in Genova! The food is fresh, authentic and simply delicious We love it so much that often go for lunch and dinner!
Spontaneous choice and no regrets. Lovely restaurant with great setting and atmosphere. Food did not disappoint. Enjoyed our lunch and highly recommend. Great service, excellent food and good wine.
Both the soup and the pasta were absolutely delicious. The house wine was also super fine!It was so hot in the restaurant, it was a little uncomfortable but nothing else to complain about!
Excellent restaurant slightly hidden away in an alley. We had a generous portion of fish which came with sliced potatoes and a very authentic tomato and olive based sauce that was a good balance of salty and sour. The fettuccine was delicious - couldn’t place the sauce and it had clams and basil. The fresh stir-fried artichokes were also generous in portion and so delicious. Great service. The staff could not speak English so ordering was a bit of pot luck which turned out well and judging by the clean plates on other tables is consistently so.
Really good home-made food at a very reasonable price! The servings were abundant and the service is really good. They were able to accommodate me even without reservations and didn’t rush me to finish even if I was alone. It’s now one of my favorite places in Genova!
We chose this restaurant spontaneously as we walked by and were drawn in by the amazing smell coming from the kitchen . I can honestly say it was one of the best, most delicious, and authentic local restaurants I’ve ever been to! The dishes were incredibly tasty, beautifully presented, and perfectly portioned—not too big, so you don’t overeat. The desserts were unbelievable and homemade . The waitress was super kind and friendly, and the waiting time for the food was very short. Definitely 5 stars from me ! I can’t wait to come back .P.S. The food pics not all, was too busy with eating and forgot to take them
Our favorite dining experience during our visit to Genova, and up there for the best dining experiences I've had all year.The service was great, they were able to accommodate our limited Italian language skills and were very hospitable throughout the meal.But beyond that, the food was EXCEPTIONAL!All four of us thoroughly enjoyed every course of our meal. And the steak tenderloin was one of the most tender, and delicious cuts of meat I have ever eaten.If you are visiting Genova, make sure you dine at Gaia Vini & Cucina for an amazing example of Genovese dining and Italian hospitality.
The best food you will taste! Italian homemade food! Really good pasta, the fish was spectacular and the TIRAMISU dessert unforgettable! Cozy place to have a real Italian experience.
