1. Da Gaia
$ | Maddalena |For a truly Genovese experience, this unassuming restaurant, located in the basement of an old palazzo in the heart of the centro storico between Strada Nuova and the port, is just the place. You'll find some of the best, most authentic food in the city, with a focus on fish, meat dishes (including rabbit), and, of course, pesto.

- Cozy, old-world atmosphere
- Stuffed anchovies
- Genovese dishes

Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and early Feb.–early Mar. -
2. Da Gibbi ai Rolli
$ | |It bills itself as a pizzeria, focacceria (endemic in these parts), and an insalateria. The pizzas are magnificent, as are their first cousins the focaccia. But if you tire of this, their salads are worth a trip in themselves. Portions are copious here. Enter hungry, exit rejoicing while perhaps believing that you ate in what once was a medieval bank (it probably was).
Salita Santa Caterina 4/r, Genoa, Liguria, Italy010-2363947Known For
- Superb rectangular pizzas
- Fine wine list (even by the glass)
- Gracious staff
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Mon. -
3. Farmer’s Cooking Concept
$ | |Imagine having a swell glass of wine (their list is beyond foolproof) in a narrow, highly vaulted hall. The space may date to the 16th century, but some experts would argue it’s earlier. No matter. Their plates of affettati misti (mixed cold cuts with trimmings) are divine. As are their lunches.
Salita Santa Caterina 34/r, Genoa, Liguria, Italy010-2925426Known For
- The room
- Superb cocktails
- Top quality locally sourced ingredients
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed weekends -
4. I Canovacci
$ | Maddalena |There's a steady crowd of regulars at this modern and homey lunch spot and dry goods store on a typical vicolo. The reasonably priced, good-value daily menu follows the seasons, with generous portions of fish and pasta, sandwiches, vegetables, and homemade desserts.

6. Il Genovese
$ | Brignole |At this bright and friendly trattoria with a maritime theme, you can dine on some of the city's best pesto and Ligurian dishes in a casual, comfortable setting. The staff are knowledgeable about the region's specialties and the wines on the always interesting menu, and even if you don't order a pesto dish, they'll bring you some to sample before your meal. Fried sardines, a local catch of the day, and seasonal torte (savory Ligurian pies) are menu staples.
Via Galata 35r, Genoa, Liguria, Italy010-8692937Known For
- Award-winning pesto
- Local atmosphere near Brignole station
- Good value for the price

7. La Locanda in Centro
$$ | Brignole |There's a warm and welcoming atmosphere at this osteria near Brignole station. Despite the young, enthusiastic staff, it has a reassuringly old-fashioned character, with a setting of chandeliers, bare brick walls, and shelves of wine bottles. The meat-favoring menu features some novelties among the genovese favorites, including pansotti (fresh pasta) with a walnut sauce, reindeer stew, and prawns with cognac and orange. You can sample these and other dishes on the four-course tasting menu (€38), and check out the board of daily specials.
Via Domenico Fiasella 70r, Genoa, Liguria, 16121, Italy010-8693922Known For
- Great service
- Quality meat dishes
- Traditional setting
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. No lunch Sat. -
8. La Moucca
$ | Molo |Just a few steps from Porta Soprana and the Childhood Home of Christopher Columbus, this place makes a handy stop for a snack and a sightseeing pause. On street-level is a straightforward café (with some seating upstairs, too) offering sandwiches, pastries, and ice creams, while in the basement (accessed by a separate door) you'll find a cavernous hall where succulent hamburgers and other hot snacks are the main draw. Only the best local beef is used in the burgers, and there's a great selection of craft beers, too. It's always busy, and you may have to wait to put your order in, but the results make it time well spent. There's a second branch at Piazza della Vittoria 36r.
Piazza Dante 31r, Genoa, Liguria, 16121, Italy010-0017695Known For
- Delicious burgers
- Great beers
- Lively atmosphere

9. Pesciolino
$$ | |With its slightly quirky but quality cuisine, attentive staff, moderate prices, and central position near Via Roma, this place ticks all the boxes for a satisfying lunchtime or evening meal-stop. The accent is firmly on seafood, often with an unusual twist, evident in such dishes as lobster salad, fish soup, prawns with almond flakes, and roast octopus with rosemary on a bed of lentils. Non-seafood choices are available, too. The restaurant is accessed through the Best Western City Hotel, though it has no other connection to it. You can eat alfresco in summer.

- Attentive service
- Good and affordable wine list

10. Spin Ristorante-Enoteca
$$ | Foce |Dishes are created specifically to complement wines at this casually elegant enoteca with dark wood tables and bottle-lined walls in the heart of the modern town. The Ligurian menu varies daily, but the real draws are the excellent antipasti and the vast wine list, which includes many organic selections.
Via C. Barabino 120r, Genoa, Liguria, 16129, Italy010-594513Known For
- Wines take precedence
- Elegant setting in an otherwise brash part of town

11. Trattoria Ugo
$ | Maddalena |Wood paneling, lanterns hanging from the ceiling, and communal tables, as well as delicious dishes, add to the old-world Genovese charm of this unassuming trattoria. It's particularly popular at lunchtime for the small menu that changes daily and includes homemade pastas, a variety of fresh seafood offerings, and perfectly baked desserts.
