Locanda Spinola

“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 wheee you should taste it. Best way to taste Pesto is on you pasta - possibly the famous ‘trofei’ 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. But if you want to try others I would recommend Osteria vico palla near the old port. If you want delivery at home the best apps are deliveroo and just eat - I recommend a pizzeria called tristano e Isotta the pizzas are to die for and they deliver super fast just make sure you mention the code to get into the building and the unit number ! A few additional good addresses to keep as a back up : - Osteria Marinara a Lanterna de Don Gallo - via milano 134r - Le Cucine di Scaramouche - via Marino Boccanegra 3/5 - Soho Ristorante Genova - via Al Ponte Calvi 20R - Trattoria Tralalero - Via Arsenale di Terra 1 - ”

“• Nel cuore del centro storico, il ristorante Cavo si trova all'interno del palazzo Branca Doria. Buongusto ed eleganza sono di casa qui: sarete immediatamente attratti dagli affreschi di Bernardo Strozzi e mangerete piatti usciti da una cucina stellata. • In the heart of the historic center, the Cavo restaurant is located inside the Branca Doria building. Good taste and elegance are at home here: you will be immediately attracted to the frescoes by Bernardo Strozzi and you will eat dishes out of a starred kitchen.”

“It almost feels like you can still see him: Giuseppe Verdi, almost by chance in 1828 by the Klainguti brothers, Swiss pastry chefs who came to Genova to embark for America in search of fortune...they certainly found it!”
