Tips from locals
Very polular and no-frills restaurant, with excellent value for money. Do not expect an "elegant" place, but go there to fill in your stomach with good and reliable home-made food. Book in advance!
Can't miss it! It's our favorite.. Simple menu, good prices and typical Genoese food . Must have minestrone alla genovese and acciughe
Everybody knows pesto - the Italian Basil-based pasta condiment that has taken the world by storm - but few know that the birthplace of Pesto is Genoa and - it goes without saying - this is the place where you should taste it. Best way to taste Pesto is on you pasta - possibly the famous ‘trofie’ type - but pesto is also great on your lasagne (lasagne al pesto) and on Your pizza or focaccia. Where to eat it? My favorite place is Trattoria da Maria, in vico testadoro 14 , near central Piazza de Ferrari - the ambience is friendly and informal and you will be greeted by three generation family with very low prices and delicious food. Be ready to share the table with other guests. No reservations accepted, only walk-in and only opened at lunch during the week and Saturday and in the evenings only Thursday and Friday.
