Service

The decor was amazing with originals frescos from the 15-16th century but the star was the food which was both interesting and delicious. The staff were friendly and super helpful. You&rsquo;ll definitely want to come just for their pesto.

We had a lovely dinner in a beautiful setting, though what really made the experience exceptional was the wait staff, who were kind and very friendly.

The dining experience at Esoticum was exquisite - the was extraordinary, unique and very tasty. The service and atmosphere very pleasant and friendly. Undoubtedly an experience to repeat and I can strongly recommend it to everyone.

I recommend this restaurant, people are friendly and kind the food are delicious and the environment is clean and cozy.

Good food, lovely service, great wine suggestion. All together, highly recommend. Lovely view of the harbor as well.

It definitely should be 5/5 stars without no doubt! Highly recommend! We will come back again!The service was so great, they even came out of the restaurant to help us to find a parking spot!The foods were excellent with such affordable price! The taste, the quantity and the quality are all super!They also serve the kid menu with 3 courses in 15 euros. Our kid really enjoy it!I don&rsquo;t understand why the reviews ion Google is so low, yet due to our experiences, we think the reviews like 1/5 or 2/5 were not true anymore.Ppl should cone and try by themselves! You won&rsquo;t be disappointed!

A great authentic style restaurant where locals (not tourists) come. Very tasty food - excellent seafood, as well as delicious meat, side dishes and desserts, friendly and attentive staff who know and appreciate their work and their customers well.

The service was very friendly and the food is excellent. We love going there as the Chef often invents new items for the menu.

It&#39;s a very small restaurant and you will likely receive a request to re-confirm from them via The Fork.  And we can understand why.  It&#39;s a privilege to be able to eat here.The menu is composed of mostly locally inspired dishes, each with unique interpretation by the chef.    The prices are very reasonable, considering the quality, presentation and attention to detail.The owner, Maurizio Bambi, circulates to chat with the guests, explain about the wines and make sure everyone&#39;s satisfied.An overall fine dining experience.  Highly recommended!And oh... Stanley Tucci ate here.

The atmosphere at Trattoria Tralalero is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a family dinner. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.

We enjoyed the fresh pasta and risotto. The pasta with pesto came out cold, but it was tasty. All the other dishes arrived hot and were really delicious. Our server was excellent.

The food was very good and although the service was very slow, it was well worth the long wait. The restaurant did acknowledge they were understaffed in terms of waiters. If you are not in the rush and like fish and seafood dishes, try this place.

Terrible service, we had finished our meal and we waiting half an hour for someone, stopped someone to ask about the dessert menu, he said ok ok, and no one came back, and we had to go up and ask for the bill and pay.  Seemed like everyone around us was getting help but us.  Honestly feels like places in Italy hate English speakers.  Pizza was ok, quickest thing about the place

great food and great atmosphere! Grillo Parlante is the Genoa experience through and through! was me pesto, Pansotti, and fish dishes; amsinh service with lots of fun chatting with the waiter; really welcoming vibe and atmosphere! we will be back!

They did not provide a wine list and therefore the choice and the search for a suitable and available bottle was a bit confusing and long and not in line with the arrival of our dishes. Please, provide a suitable knife when servicing meat.

Second time I go now and use their special lunch offer. What can I say: &ldquo; great price, great deal good atmosphere&rdquo; food may not be wow! But for what you pay it is GREAT. It&rsquo;s light and easy to digest. So all in all for what you pay I highly recommend. I do not know what the main menu is like so I cannot comment on that.

Beautiful setting right on the beach.  The management and staff really look after you and the food was incredible.  I love seafood but my husband is vegetarian and they accommodated his needs making a requested dish.  Truly memorable experience.

Very nice Restaurant near the city center but no touristic Flair. The food was really great and it was served by very kind people

It is a simple pizzeria, no pretentions but the pizza is very good and the people are smiling. They serve other dishes too, fresh fish bases. Nothing wrong here! Unfortunately no glutenfree pizza, pasta or bread &hellip;.

The service was super, the waitress gave us some Tipps what to do near by and was super friendly. The food was also very good. Me and my friends enjoyed the evening there.

Very good sea food. We ordered mix de mare. The mussels were the best ones we have eaten so far. However, the fish files had a burned taste. Just take more time to grill it. You were very fast, we have time :)

We went here for lunch. A fabulous menu with outstanding service and atmosphere. The food was exceptional. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a special occasion!!

Excellent little gem. Food was unpretentious and homely. Most of the things were self-made. And the pesto was delicious with character. Owners (who are also the chefs) were extremely friendly and give lovely recommendation. Strongly recommended to try if visiting Genoa.

The pizza at Gibba is consistently delicious, with a variety of flours and high-quality ingredients. The staff, especially Luca, is incredibly kind and attentive, making every visit a pleasure.

The food was great and cheap. In would go again!

This restaurant should have 1 Michelin star. The food is delicious, the service excelente, wine selection spectacular. An amazing evening

Perfection, food and service of the highest quality.A very special restaurant in an equally special location ! Our dinner was way beyond expectations
