Their menu was helpful and very descriptive. All the dishes sounded great! Too bad we were in Genoa only 1 night! Loved the ravioli with tucco. The cima (veal terrine) was delicious and I recommend it.

Dishes were all excellent! We enjoyed the trofie with pesto most! Meatballs were delicious also. Was definitely worth the walk there to enjoy the lovely meal. We will definitely return when we return to Genoa

Pesto at its best, so good that we came back to take away pesto trofie for dinner. Pesto trofie is the best of them all !

The food was delicious and the service was impressively fast. However, the noise level was quite high which made it a bit hard to fully relax and enjoy.

They have also gluten free options: minestrone and pasta with pesto. It was good.

This was the best of the most “traditional” restaurants we went to in Genova. The pesto was the tastiest we tried, and the pasta was also great and interesting. The fritto misto was very very good too. Given the overall price, an absolute bargain.

One of the best restaurants with traditional Ligurian cuisine. I’m always bringing my guests, who come to visit Genova, to il Genovese. My personal favorites - fritto verdure, trofie al pesto, rabbit and meatballs. The best tiramisu I’ve ever tried. Definitely worth a visit.
