They brought us a free polenta appetizer upon our ordering drinks. It was delicious. We followed that with a Caprese salad which we split. More than enough for two. Fresh cheese and tomatoes covered by a light dusting of olive oil. For my entree, I chose grilled prawns. I could not have received a more perfect meal for me. The shrimp was delicious and it was accompanied by a light lettuce salad. I loved everything about my meal. We finished with a piece of chocolate cake which we asked them to add a scoop of gelato. Not only did hey add the gelato, they also added a second piece of lemon cake. Everything was so good. Loved this stop.

We did not have a reservation and just walked up at 7:45PM and waited for a seat. They offered wine and water while we waited. The owner was greeting everyone as well as serving. Cannot say enough good things about the service and the quality of the food, including the desserts. This is a MUST if you're in Genoa.

Probably the best focaccia I've ever had in my life and nothing anywhere else comes close. As a matter of fact, you could just order focaccia here, leave, and still have an amazing experience.

The crust was thin and had just the right amount of sauce l, cheese and toppings. I put chili olive oil on top and crushed peppers and added a great pop to the pizza. For dinner I had the lasagna al pesto. This had the green pesto sauce instead of a tomato ragu. Delicious! I'm going back to try some of the other specialties. Service was excellent, no waiting for lunch but dinner you should make reservations. Mostly Italian spoken, but proprietor also speaks Spanish. Very nice people.

Woman at the counter did not seat me but offered me the dessert and coffee to go. She Stated this is a pizza restaurant not a bar. Ouch! I understand the concept of her restaurant but her delivery was very discouraging. As an American visiting for the 1st time I felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. However I sucked it up and took my items to go minus the wine. I can tell this is not a normal thing as I was given the coffee in the equivalent of a plastic shot glass and a strip of foil paper covering it. She knocked me up for $7. I'll be here for 3 more days and will NEVER take the 3 steps it takes from my hotel to return. Even the two employees looking on were puzzled. They stared at me the whole time and one was shaking his head at the woman as if to gesture "unbeleavable"
