Online downside is…read morethe food is very expensive for what you get (but I suppose you're really paying for the view). The pesto pasta was pretty good, but average. The seared tuna was SO good!!! It was so flavorful and cooked beautifully. The fish in the orange sauce was also nice, it was a sweet sauce which I was not expecting but it was good. My mom is a seafood pasta enthusiast and has tried seafood pastas everywhere from California to France and has become quite the critic. Her thoughts on the pasta: it was a bit dry but flavorful. She would probably not order the pasta again. The dessert was great but sooo tiny! I loved the chocolate soufflé but it was so small for €10!! The panna cotta too was amazing but so small. The tasting sorbets were interesting and refreshing, but again small portions.

They serve a fresh fish menu, with a lot of traditional dishes that nowadays are hard to find such as the 'stoccafisso' which is something similar to Lisbon's bacalhau. The food is good for the entire meal, nothing too fancy but solid and authentic dishes. The portions are massive, resulting in me leaving half of my main because of a massive mussels starter (photo). There was no star of this meal, but it felt good to be in such a wonderful place and eat very traditional food. The check was slightly higher than what you'd expect from a Trattoria buy you got to pay for the location. Starter + main + wine 45€ per person. Would definitely go back sometime, and absolutely recommended for tourists than want to get a taste of Genova old recipes.

We went on a Saturday night around 7 and left around 8:15pm one a few other tables but the other tables were all locals. Anytime I travel I prefer to eat and live like the locals.

This is a family restaurant and everyone who worked here were so friendly and welcoming to us. It was a fixed course menu which was a fun experience. I got the pesto pasta since I heard pesto was the best in Genova. It was outstanding. The pasta was cooked perfectly, al dente, and the pesto was fresh and delicious. We also ordered dessert... a couple desserts. Tiramisu and a chocolate mousse dessert. They both were fantastic. We also got some espressos and the waiter even made some fun art on each of our cups. Very lovely experience, I was able to try a dish highlighting the local specialty of pesto, and the service was great.

But we had about an hour before our tickets to the aquarium and wanted to catch a light lunch so we decided to give it a try. The menu is heavily seafood-focused so that's what we went for. To start we got the marinated fresh anchovies - delicious! Light and flavorful with a bright olive oil and lemon dressing. I got the mussel soup next, which was outstanding. Beautifully fresh, tiny mussels in a delicious tomato broth that was perfect to enjoy with their bread. My husband got the linguine with crab, and I must say, it was perhaps the best crab I have ever tasted in my life. Sweet and meaty, served partly in the shell, just outstanding. Everything was so good I wish we'd had more time and more appetite to try more of their offerings...but perhaps on a future visit to Genoa.
