Le Rune

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.

Is Le Rune the best restaurant in Genoa? I wouldn’t know, I didn’t eat anywhere else. After the first bite of my “poker” mixed seafood, I knew I would be back the next day. The food was top notch, every bite richly flavourful. Genoa is famous for its pesto? After their trofie pesto I now know why! Not just taste, but texture was well considered. The fish in their local stockfish stew was “tough”, not an attribute I usually like in fish, but it worked marvellously with the soft potatoes! Similarly their stuffed squid was exactly the right texture (important for squid). If the food wasn’t reason enough to come back, I would have probably came back for their warm and welcoming service and smiles. I ate both my dinner in Genoa here and had I stayed another day would have eaten there again! With any luck I hope to have the opportunity to eat at Le Rune again!!

Superb !!! Friendly staff, delicious food and excellent wine selecion. We had a great time. Thank you.

Good Michelin recommended restaurant. We were lucky enough to get a dinner reservation on the same day. The restaurant is very cute and cozy, we had a table in the backyard, it was very hot as the wind doesn't flow. Food review incoming. The cod spread was amazing, actually the best dish from our dinner. We had the signature Genoa pesto pasta. The grilled octopus was well seasoned and also well cooked. Finally the rabbit was delicious, most and tasty.

The food and wine was amazing! Definitely try the focaccia and trofie. The owners were lovely and welcoming, great evening, thank you!

Lovely, friendly restaurant tucked back near Via Garabaldi in Genoa. The staff were amazing, friendly and helpful whilst keeping us smiling. Very attentive to our needs - multiple bags of bread supplied throughout the meal which was great for soaking up the beef ravioli sauces. The ravioli was to die for. My mother had the pork and said it was the best meal she has had in the last decade. The prices were incredibly low for the quality of food - definitely the best meal we had in 8 days in Genoa. Excellent foccacia, delicious mains and a perfectly done creme brulee for dessert. They had a white truffle special on their constantly changing menu - keeping with the seasons. My son wanted just ice cream - not listed alone on the menu - and they got him some. Really lovely staff, warm friendly atmosphere, fantastic food at a reasonable price, what more could you ask for? I should've taken more photos, but we just tucked into everything when it arrived and totally forgot to take pictures (which is why the 3 I took are all of partially eaten dishes!

I never imaged that Focaccia could taste so GOOD! Everything was delicious, especially the focaccia with burrata and pesto! Great service and atmosphere!

Amazing restaurant with friendly service. I booked my reservation on WhatsApp and they responded immediately. I got the pesto and rabbit dishes and both were amazing, especially for the price. Highly recommend!
