My sister inlaw took me here for lunch one weekday. It is a small busy traditional eatery with basic decor and buckets of charactor. The menue is up on a chalk board and written out on paper at the tables, offering a selection of dishes available that day which get crossed out as the kitchen runs out of each one.... More

Decided to visit this place because of good reviews on tripadvisor. The food was plain and cheap but very tasty. If you want just to try rural ligurian food and save money - the place will suit you fine, otherwise its better to find more "atmospheric" place. More

This busy little spot was just the place for an authentic Italian meal. Luckily there are two levels, otherwise we would have been waiting for a seat. I had the roast chicken with fries, my boyfriend had the lasagna al ragu with green salad. Both were very tasty. The man next to us said that the ravioli is the best... More

Invece, mi sono ricreduta su tutti i fronti! Locale tipico, con grossi tavoli (ma noi eravamo 10 e ne occupavamo uno da soli), menu` scritto a mano su foglietto (mi... More

Trattoria da Maria is hidden away up an alley off Via 25 Aprile, on the edge of the maze of alleys of Old Genova and is great value for money, very traditional and speedy service. We visited at lunchtime and thoroughly enjoyed a pasta a main course and drinks for €9 a head, which is a rarity these days anywhere... More

At first you can be a bit shocked about the way this place looks but the food will make you forget about it. It's incredibly good and served in one second. Such a shame they don t open too often so better check the timeing before going. More

Tucked away in a narrow alley, away from the crowds, this little cantina is really worth a visit. Available dishes for the day are tacked up on the walls, and everything is in Italian. Friendly waitresses take non-Italian-speaking guests like us in their stride, making sure we felt at home. The food is simple, but great, and our bill was... More

Simply delicious pasta! Once inside, if it's busy head upstairs. You'll be given a photocopied, handwritten menu - it changes everyday. It's largely illegible, but that doesn't matter: simply order a bowl of pasta from the five or so choices of 'primo platti', and you won't be disappointed, especially not with the price: E5 for pasta and a drink.
