One of our favourite meals in Genova! The staff were so friendly and amazing. Everything was so delicious. We arrived at 7pm right before opening without a reservation and got a table for 1.5hrs. Highly recommend!

What a lovely local gem, featured in the Michelin Guide, with great service and delicious food. I especially love how they use fresh local ingredients and put a creative twist on traditional dishes. If you’ve had enough of the typical tourist fare, this is something different you’ll want to try. My personal recommendations: the savory panna cotta made with burrata, topped with basil and nuts, and the linguine with octopus tentacles, so yum!

We stopped here for lunch in June 2025. I strongly encourage you to do the same. I agree with everything Chris said in his review from two months ago: this place is superb, don’t sleep on it! Fantastic food, and wonderful, warm, attentive service. 5 stars.

We had such a wonderful dining experience here — every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. We started with a stuffed courgette and beef tartare, which sadly we didn’t photograph, but it was a perfect opener: fresh, delicate, and full of contrast in texture and taste. For the mains, we tried the pork fillet with potato and black & white truffle sauce — rich, tender, and so comforting — and the burrata ravioli with pistachio sauce, which was a real standout. Creamy, nutty, and melt-in-your-mouth soft — honestly one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a long time. (Photos attached!) We finished with a raspberry sorbet, which was the perfect ending — light, tart, and refreshing. Service was kind and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed. You can tell the kitchen puts genuine care into everything they serve. Would absolutely return — and recommend without hesitation.

I know you are looking through reviews to make sure you find a place you’ll like. Go here, trust me, it is amazing. Had the best pasta we’ve ever had. Absolute perfection! Best pasta in Italy. Can’t say enough. Get anything local and you will be impressed. I am sure the rest is just as amazing but we only had local dishes when we wen’t. The service was top notch, smiles all around. Every staff member smiled and made me feel more than welcomed. Me and my wife, Emily, are fairly critical when it comes to going out to eat and we were hands down impressed with this restaurant. Worth it a million times over. Thanks you so much for a fantastic experience. You are the best and hard work deserves recognition. I hope we get to come back one day.
