Really delicious spot to get breakfast in Genoa.

I ordered the toast which was described on the menu as being bread, ham, and cheese which is simple but it was wonderfully executed. It was basically like a grilled ham and cheese panini which was delicious and would be good at any time of day, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The pancakes were also very yummy and they were very generous with the maple syrup. Although it is a small cafe with not many seats or tables, we were lucky enough to get one and it was very cozy and perfect for a rainy morning in Genoa. All of the gentlemen working there were very nice and all in all it was a great experience and not very expensive either. The croissant was only 2 euros, the toast was only 5, the pancakes were about 7, and the cappuccinos were only 1.80. would highly recommend eating here if you're in Genoa

It's our third year that we come for a vacation here in this lovely town. But our first time here…read moreat this restaurant. We booked ahead, but actually besides us there was only one other table that night (a weekday). It's a comfy, cosy place with a nice courtyard. Our Bulldog was welcome as well. We ordered the fried seafood and the octopus meatballs for starters. A bottle of Pigato (white) with the meal. The fried seafood was really nice. Tasted fresh and crispy. A good mix of different fish and seafood. The octopus meatballs were very disappointing. Didn't taste fresh unfortunately and had a strong flavour. Not sure it wasn't very fresh or just frozen. We love seafood, but this wasn't it. For the mains we chose the Pesto Gnocchi and Shrimp Risotto. The Gnocchi were pretty good, the Pesto was ok. The shrimp in the Risotto were really nice, but the rice for our likings a bit overcooked - we do enjoy a bit more bite. The wine was nice though. Pigato is always a good choice. The food was a bit on the disappointing side then. We had higher expectations, and this town has so many choices of restaurants. Not sure it was a slow day or we were just a bit unlucky that day. The reviews are very good - but not our experience. That said, I have to point out that our waiter was fantastic. A really nice guy, took care of us very nicely. That was really great. And the prices are fair too.

The dining area is decorated with candles, flowers and nice old fashioned mirrors, which makes the place very quaint and welcoming.
