维维博卡达塞酒店 by Wonderful Italy - Camelia

Just a few steps from the central Piazza De Ferrari, this authentic trattoria – a point of reference for Ligurian cooking for fifteen years – continues to delight its guests with dishes prepared according to tradition. Its popularity is such that booking well in advance is almost always essential. Beyond the unmissable brandacujun and the classic trofie al pesto alla genovese, the accomplished chef Alessandro Massone also puts his name to a wealth of other specialities, born of passion, experience and a sincere devotion to the regional kitchen. A straightforward and generous table, one that te

Anticipate a little time and patience tackling a winding progressively less urban road to reach, inland, San Desiderio, where Bruxaboschi has been delighting clients since 1862 under the same familial management. It will be worth it. Rightly renowned, the cuisine pays homage to local traditions (nearly exclusively meat), commencing with an excellent Genoese cima, picagge and pansotti among pastas, and fried rabbit. In season, obligingly, is the unmissable fungi engagement.

A lively and contemporary bistro that celebrates Mediterranean cuisine with a modern twist, offering meat and fish dishes characterised by distinct flavours and refined techniques. Highlights include yellowtail tartare with celery, rose syrup and seed crackers, and the delicious pavé of striped bass accompanied by mashed potatoes, sautéed artichokes and lemon sauce.

This elegant restaurant with a smart, classic feel is situated in the Expo Fiera area not far from the city centre. Ever since it opened in 1982, this restaurant has been a reliable choice for top-quality fish (although meat also features on the menu), which is prepared using classic techniques and recipes. Highlights include dishes such as tuna and amberjack carpaccio, warm seafood salad, grilled fish, fish cooked in typical Ligurian style with potatoes and Taggiasche olives, and fish soup with croutons.

A classic-style dining room adorned with mirrors and silverware acts as the backdrop for fish and seafood dishes at this restaurant. The raw fish is particularly excellent, as are the mupa (a little-known fish that lives in the deep waters of the Mediterranean), prawns (in season) and home-made primi served with delicious sauces, such as the chicken plin with brown gravy. For special occasions, we recommend the table to the rear of the room near the arte povera-style dresser. Cheerful, friendly service adds to the appeal.

A modern bistro in the heart of the city, just a short walk from the famous Via XX Settembre. Here, the chef and owner interprets fragrant, market-fresh cuisine that pays tribute to Ligurian tradition – such as potato cream with Genoese-style sea snails – and embraces Italian flavours, such as pappa al pomodoro with burratina. In addition to the menu, delicious dishes inspired by the market surprise guests every day. Don't miss the “Minestrone alla ligure” soup, served in a small pot: pure goodness! The warm and informal welcome makes everything special.

In the heart of the Carignano quarter, the restaurant conceals itself along a quiet side street, revealing an atmosphere that is both intimate and elegant. Three tasting menus – Tradition and Innovation, Classic, and Vegetarian – guide the guest through a gastronomic journey rich in identity, with the option of dining à la carte should one prefer. The cooking unites boldness with refinement, interweaving classic references and modern impulses in dishes that impress through their balance and personality; the trofie al pesto genovese, presented here in a reinterpretation of decided character, ar
