Best places: Down home cooking restaurants in Genoa, Italy

👍👍 We would highly recommend Da I Ricci Trattoria. Located in the heart of the historical Genova in a very small street, you’ll enjoy the food and the coffee. Sonia and her team are really warm and cheerful. The good is great (pesto homemade, pasta al dente, fish from the day…)and for 12€ the menu per...

😐 Beautiful authentic location with a local genovese cuisine, the service was very good and the staff very welcoming , we were not very impressed with the antipasti but pasta was good . The unpleasant surprise was the pan & copperto charge of 14 euros each , we were charged just for 3 persons being a...

👍👍 Had a great evening, staff was very friendly (even translated the Italian menu to us) food was really delicious The best restaurant in Boccadasse.

👍👍 Good food done well. Minestrone was delicious. Steak perfect. Fish fresh and well prepared. Apple fritters for dessert were a perfect ending to our meal. There is nothing pretentious about this restaurant. Service professional and unobtrusive. Prices reasonable.

👍👍 If there is a "homemade" trattoria, this is it. It is literally a room, only one, in which there are more or less a dozen tables. In fact, it is always very full, and often you have to wait to find a free table. But all this is compensated by the genuineness and goodness of the dishes that are serv...

👍👍 Durante questi mesi in cui ci siamo avventurati nei posti che Genova offre per fare belle passeggiate cittadine, visitando i bellissimi vicoli e carruggi intorno alla Madonna del Monte abbiamo fatto questa piacevolissima e gustosissima scoperta a pochi passi da casa. Reatin offre ottime specialità g...

👍👍 From the buttery fresh foccacia, the creamy cod, the delicious papardelle ragu, the sauce from the pasta with oysters, the exciting homeade potato with pesto and finally those delicacies for desserts, I would have to rate this a 5 star restaurant. This is not like some random person putting a 5 st...

👍👍 Piadina ottima, locale pulito personale gentilissimo. Torneremo sicuramente

👍 The place is located in a very narrow alley in genoa centre. The place is not big only few tables so it is recommended to book before going. The food is amazing. Please try to go with the daily dishes better than choosing from the menu. Recommended restaurant

👍👍 This is the kind of restaurant I dream of. The sort of place I could go to every day for forty years - they’d have my chair in the corner saved for me and send flowers to my funeral. Nothing fancy. Nothing fashionable. Just superb food done superbly. Every single thing was a knock out, right down to...

👍👍 I mean wow! Beautiful experience that was very authentic… so authentic that our meal ended speaking broken Spanish/Italian with the chef himself and his wife about himself and life and his restaurant. He assured us that our experience (as tourists) is the exact same as anyone else who comes - be it...
