Sà Pesta

A restaurant that has been on my bucket list for years, but for many reasons couldn’t visit (not least because it is incredibly popular). Famous for its farinata cooked in their stone oven, it pulls all the stops of Genoese cuisine. Whatever you’re going to try, it’s going to be delicious.

Delicious farinata. Definitely worth trying both on its own and with cheese! The service was excellent as well, everyone was very friendly. Thank you!

My family is from savona but I am a second generation American on a trip to the Liguria region. We were searching high and low for farinata and found it here. It was EXCELLENT! Great food. Great wine. Fast and kind service.

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!

A wonderful, historic trattoria with outstanding food and the friendliest staff right in the center of Genova old town!

This is the most incredible place in the whole of Genoa to try a selection of the best savoury cakes for Genova can make. You should definitely try their onion cake and the spinach cake, plus farinata is absolutely divine. Sadly, it’s not open at night so you’ll have to try it during the day. The building itself is also beautiful, check the vaulted ceilings and the medieval decorations.

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!

Amazing food with amazing staff. House special is especially great. Must-visit place

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.
