The restaurant looked quite ok and we had a table outside on the street-side terrace. As we were not that hungry, we only ordered one course each, namely a tagliata di manzo and a spaghetti con vongole. Both of the dishes were actually really bad and the worst we have ever eaten in any restaurant in Italy (and we have eaten in many as we have lived for five years in Italy). The tagliata di manzo looked really sad and was covered by a bed of (very) old rucola. The spaghetti con vongole was even worse, with the spaghetti not cooked properly and sticking together and only half of the vongole having opened up. We sent back the sphaghetti con vongole to the kitchen and were given a new portion, but also that one was still pretty bad and tasted of nothing. Service by the waiting staff was ok'ish, but the attitude of the restaurant management was simply terrible with management not showing any interest and not apolozing for the very bad food. Finally, the food was actually also quite expensive, and we have eaten hundred times better food for much cheaper elsewhere in Genova. Obviously, we will never visit this restaurant again and would recommend all others to stay away from it.

I can’t understand the reviews and ratings on our experience, perhaps they are historic.

We were staying just up the street and thought to eat outside the hotel. Has a starter of garlic mushroom and then had two cotolletta Milanese with fries. Perfectly fine and friendly service. Washed down with a Frascati, the only negative being that the wine wasn’t opened at the table, but was OK. I’d go back.
