"Sit on the wooden porch in the small piazza Caffe degli Specchi has a wonderfully warm feeling inside, so it's easy to feel comfortable sliding up to the bar and standing with the locals while you drink your morning cappuccino. Or, take your time enjoying your drink on the wooden porch out front while overlooking the crowds moving towards work in the small piazza below. Either way, the coffee here is rich and dark, so make sure you ask for 'zucchero' if you like yours slightly sweeter!"

A lovely place with good food, vine and service. Enjoyed every minute at this cafe/ restaurant.

Very nice 100 years old rooms and pleasent terasse outside. This place was a poultry shop before becoming a cafe in 1917. Service and food quite good.Typical atmosphere. You can discover two beautiful rooms even at the 2nd floor. (Forget the bathroom.)

Nice place to order a coffee and brioche near to the Ferrari piaza

Perfect! One of the only places near centro storico open in the late afternoon for something to eat. The meatballs and mash were just right, enough structure and taste. Croque monsieur with goat's cheese was not too big, very tasty and warm and with a small side salad. Nice beer, wine and espresso. Friendly service and fair prices. Seating also inside and upstairs.

Service sucks I got billed for another table because the servers didn’t keep track of tables and weren’t available to bring the bill

one of the oldest cafe in Genova. Very little place but kept with all the history

My husband and I have been to Genoa four times and we always stop here. Either for the amazing sandwiches at lunch, I still think about the croque monsieur, or the wonderful aperitivo. We call it "the green bar" because it has a green sign outside and the terrace is painted green. I look forward to returning soon!

Had some coffee and cake here. Coffee was nothing special and choco cake was good, however (in)famous italian hospitality to take extra bit of cash from 'stranieri' (strangers) worsen whole impression for me. E.g. regular capuccino on the pricelist was 1.6 Euro but on the bill it was 2.6 Euro. Same is for cake: 5 Euro on the pricelist - 6 Euro on the bill. Yes I know they have this 'table service', but it usually is 20 to 50 cents, not a euro per cup. What I really want is for those people to experience same attitute they give to themselves, when they are on vacation in other country.
