Sà Pesta

For service, dishes and atmosphere, all were so wonderful 👍 Because I was alone, I asked them if I could have half of the dish, they are so kind to offer me this service! I want to taste different traditional foods and all of them were so delicious! I could see the clients enjoy so much for the dish and for atmosphere too 😄 it's ok for dogs too! By the way, because the dishes were so good so I want to try their desserts, and I took out, the Sacripantina cake, sponge cake with two types of cream inside and some alcohol, so tasty! I recommend it!

HIDDEN SECRET …. For me ; 5 star is not enough. It’s a real food orgasm . Pansotti con salsa de noci was AMAZING .and plato misto de torti ❤️❤️❤️ waiters are also very sympathetic . I don’t agree with other comments about waiters. They are Italians :) If u visit GENOVA, dont miss. You can wait little bit, get ready because it is a very small restaurant.

This place is fantastic, you can taste real genovese savoury tarts and farinata (chickpea tart) fresh from the oven. You can find a lot of locals eating here, a guarantee not just about the taste, but also about authenticity and fair pricing. I recommend taking the mixed plate, which contains several savour tarts and a big chunk of farinata. The tarts are all amazing, they go from typical vegetable tarts to unexpected flavours like rice and stracchino (fresh cheese). My favourite overall was the stracchino and onions one. Amazing flavour, super sweet thanks to the onions. I would have eaten a whole pie. The farinata was also incredible, tender and moist at the bottom, crunchy at the top. I can’t describe it, you need to taste it. Staff is super nice, and the atmosphere is really from years ago. This place is a must go when you visit Genova.

We got tipped by some locals to eat over there. We came in and were warm welcomed (also in English) the waitress didn't really speak English but that was not a problem at all. She let us try many things to really get the taste! So lovely!! The food was amazing and we had a great night enjoying the Italian warmth and deliciousness! Definitely go there!!

LOVED the vibe. Food+atmosphere. If I really wanted to go to a Genovese restaurant, I’d probably go here. They are known for other foods, but I ordered the lasagna with pesto and it was tasty. They have the menu in multiple languages and at least one of the staff speaks English. I went super early on a weekday and I was able to get a seat. Totally recommend!

Honestly, the food is very weird, I understand that it’s just my taste, but I advice if you really really want to try it, order 1 plate of different flavours and just try a bit of each. We also ordered fried seafoods, just to make sure we’ll have smth guaranteed tasty, but they weren’t. They are not fried enough and in general just ok. Would expect more for such prices. The wine was good.

Yummy crispy Farinata made by a passionate 3rd generation owner with a wood-fire oven built especially to create the unique texture you cannot find elsewhere in Genoa. The restaurant’s interior feels like a retro dining room. Lovely vibe and super friendly staff too! As tourists we felt so welcomed. We loved the experience so much that we returned the next day for more Farinatas and pies. You can reserve for dinner only (or try your luck to walk in at 7pm or 830pm).

This is a very traditional and authentic place in Genova, from the food to the service. Everything is delicious: farinata, coniglio alla ligure, le torte, etc. I love it.

Came here twice for their troffie al pesto (pesto pasta) - day before we left Genova, I came back here again after already having another dinner... You can try their sample of farinata but I'm not too fond of it. Save room for their creamy tiramisu and other desserts. Make reservations!

Disappointed. I cannot understand all the buzz around Sa pesta. We thought about a typical good value for money genovese meal. Reality is différent. No welcome. Dishes are prepared in a rush. The mista genovese plate was a shame : all dishes looked the same, flavourless, same undefined texture...for 10 euros. Moreover the different dishes were not served at the same time. We obviously see that this restaurant don't care anymore about the quality of the food and their customers.

One of the best in town for proper genoase food. The best dish being farinatata. A special flour beans foccacia pizza. Try it and u will be in a world of Genoase.
