I had an excellent variant of pesto pasta, a delicious T-bone steak, good panna cotta, and a nice wine, suggested by the server. I'll seek out this restaurant again if I return to Genova.

This place was an absolutely wonderful find. It's small, rustic, and very welcoming. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

By 8pm it starts getting busy and before 9pm there is a waiting line. Only reason not getting 5 stars is that the service starts lacking once the restaurant becomes full (expediitors just drop off food and walk away without saying a word), and haven't seen my waitress in a while.

Quite possibly the worst fajitas I have ever had. The meat was old, over cooked and hard as a…read morerock. The lettuce was a garnish, not a side dish. The same goes for the 7 "black beans". Even if it was cooked correctly, it's not enough for a meal.

We had appetizers of lardo, slices gossamer thin with toasted bread and wonderful salami. We followed that with penne with a sauce of ragu and artichokes and finished with thinly sliced steak and mushrooms. A bottle of Frescolbaldi Brunello de Montalcino and a couple of macchiatos rounded out our lovely two hour lunch.

We wanted a carnivorous lunch today so we searched for a meat place in Milan. Surprisingly there…read moreare many! A nice surprise actually, now I have my bookmarks full. Well we ended up choosing La Carbonaia and we were not left disappointed, or at least, not completely. The place is very small and characteristic, the grill is front and center with a display of costate fiorentine in front. I like the vibe. They bring a complimentary appetizer, mondeghili, typical Milanese fried meat balls, de-li-cious. I order a grigliata mista and the others order a fiorentina. The grigliata mista is kind of disappointing, especially the serving size. It's a very small plate with just three types of meats, I expected more quantity. It was very good, but not filling at all. The fiorentina was delicious, with some very tender pieces and other not so tender ones. Very rare, they don't even ask how you want it, that's the way you have to have it anyway, all in all a good experience.

The outside was way overcooked but the goat cheese inside was actually cold, like right out of the refrigerator cold, I've never had arincini with goat cheese (we lived in Italy for 3 years) my wife got the bolognese and it was just like over seasoned hamburger with these horrible chewy noodles. My wife pushed it to the side and didn't eat it. The waitress couldn't care less and asked if we wanted a to go box for it. Had heard such good things only to be let down.

The BBQ sauce on the pork ribs was awful and ruined the meat completely. The ribs themselves were very difficult to eat, and not"melt in your mouth" kind of ribs.
