    One of my best meals in Italy! Menu changes every day, and is printed in Italian (don't worry they will translate if you're America like me!) loved the pesto pasta, so delicious. Service was also excellent. A great find in Genova!

    I was recommended to eat here by the hosts of the airbnb I am staying. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted with smiles from all the people working. The menu is handwritten and only in Italian so bring your translator with you! Or in my case, a server saw I was struggling and came to my table and translated the menu for me which I thought was incredibly nice! The menu changes constantly is what I am told and that's why it is handwritten. The dishes are beautifully presented and taste just as good! I am happy with the fact that it's not over priced like some places we've eaten at. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a quaint place with delicious Italian food!

    Oh my lord, this is the best pesto pasta I've ever had. The texture? Perfectly al dente. The sauce?…read moreEarthy, nutty, smooth, and creamy all in one. I regret not ordering a second serving. We also tried their special of the day which translated to "nut pasta" but essentially was a cacio e pepe with pine nuts, amazing, but can not compare to the pesto pasta. If you come here, expect a wait because this place is loved by tourists and locals. I'd recommend any pasta dish because it's all homemade and seasoned so well. Their other offerings are average, nothing to note as a recommendation.

    If you happen to be staying someplace outside of Genoa's historical district, you might feel…read moreslightly unsafe walking through the graffiti covered alleys and streets that you'll have to navigate to get to Trattoria Ugo, but don't be decived by appearances - the area is actually quite safe, and there are quite a number of well-hidden but excellent restaurants. Trattoria Ugo is a completely legit and ultra-authentic eatery with a clientele that's more than 90 precent locals - that's how good the food is! The food here is nothing short of amazing and the portion sizes are so generous that it's almost impossible to go away hungry :-) Everything on the menu is wonderful, but I highly recommend the pasta with pesto. There's also a surprisingly broad wine list, and their house wine is very good, and really inexpensive - it pairs very nicely with the pesto. Water (both sparlking and still) is complimentary, and the service is outstanding - you'll have an incredible meal here! Tip: The portion sizes being as large as they are, I strongly suggest you pick either one primo or one secondo; if you get both it will be very difficult to finish.

    pretty good pasta restaurant. you pick your pasta type and then your sauce and there were a lot of…read moredifferent pastas and sauces, so it is likely that everyone will be able to find a combination that they will like. we got the meat filled ravioli with carbonara sauce, gnocchi with the mushroom and cream sauce, and the mushroom filled tortellini and they were all very tasty. both the gnocchi and ravioli servings were very large but the tortellini serving was definitely a bit smaller but still decent. the bread is free as well. the service was good and it didn't take long for us to get our food. the restaurant isn't huge so if it is busy it might be hard to get a table but we didn't have any problems on a Saturday night at 7:30pm. there is a cover but it is only 1.50 euros per person. while it is not the best italian food you will ever have, it is definitely a good option if you don't want to break the bank but still get some good authentic Italian food while in Genoa.

    Genova is known for their pesto, so we came to this little local spot to try their pesto. I got…read moresimple noodles with pesto, the boyfriend got mushroom tortellini with pesto, and the friend got beef (or shredded pork we aren't sure) ravioli with pesto. Though they didn't speak any English their ordering system was simple: choose your noodle, then your sauce, and voila! They served the food with soft dipping bread. The service was fast. The food was outstanding. The price was VERY inexpensive. The only thing you have to watch out for is water cost money in Europe even though tap water is potable. They sell you bottled water at a cost (and I'm not sure every place recycles). Most places beer and soda are cheaper than water. Thus, I got beer! Having had a long drive and wanting to get back to the AirBnB this place was a perfect location with the perfect menu for an outstanding price!
