"10/10 would come again! Finally came to this after being told to come over and over and over again, and how good and amazing everything was! The expectations were over the roof and they were all met! The staff was super friendly and helpful! The food was just amazing! The trippa with beans (small plate just to try) was divine! Amazingly well cooked! So tender it was melting and so full of flavours! The pasta with sugo di cervo was out of this world! So so rich of flavours! First time trying cervo and I was completely blown away! The mandilli al pesto are a staple when in Genova! The mandilli were perfectly cooked and the pesto tasted so good! There wasn’t even need for additional parmigiano! To top it all off the panna cotta was just wow! I don’t know if they make it homemade, but it sure does seem so! I haven’t had panna cotta in years and this one was just perfect! Not pictured, but their bread is also top tier! Soft on the inside and just right on the crunch on the outside! This place is definitely a must when in Genova! We were 3 and we spent 58€ (with drinks and coffee)"

"Very friendly family restaurant, we came by without reservation but the restaurant was fully booked. They gave us a table anyway after I said we gonna eat fast 1,5 hours later we had eaten 3 courses with wine. Fast and furious Good food lacking a little bit finesse for full points. Grazie Mille!"
