The location is absolutely charming, nestled in a historic corner of Genoa and offering a spectacular view of an ancient wine cellar. It feels truly authentic.

Just popped in for a quick lunch. The &euro;10 set was a nice surprise &ndash; a proper, fresh plate, not the usual sad cafeteria stuff. Exactly what I needed.

Great tap list with German, Belgian, and American brews. The bartender really knew his stuff&mdash;asked what I usually like and suggested a Belgian ale that paired perfectly with my burger. Spot on.

The pizza here is honestly the best I&#39;ve had in Italy so far. Perfectly charred crust, so flavorful. And the pistachio dessert? Unreal. Prices are a steal too.

Stumbled upon this place tucked away from the main drag. The vibe with all the plants and low-key music was just right for a chill evening. Ordered the truffle pasta, which was creamy and rich. Portion felt a bit small for the price, but the flavor was spot on.

Good pizza with a thin, crisp crust.  Affordably priced with mainly outdoor seating. Very busy and seemed popular with locals and tourists alike.

The Aloha burger with pineapple was a real treat. They have a nice selection of craft beers on tap, and the one I picked went surprisingly well with the sweet and savory combo. A fun concept overall, though the patty was just a touch overdone for my liking.

Pasta con vongole e scampi was on point. Got a solo table on a Saturday night, no booking. That was a win. Service was smooth.

Love the old-school vibe here! Perfect spot for a casual catch-up with friends over some classic pastries.

Service was prompt and professional. Staff checked in at the right times without being intrusive. Efficient for a business lunch.

Been coming here for years. Staff always know the menu and give solid suggestions, never rushed.

The price is up there, but you can taste it in the ingredients. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the pasta had a perfect texture. It&#39;s the kind of place you go for the food itself.

The staff was really attentive, noticed my water glass was empty before I did. Food came out hot and looked just like the menu pictures. A bit of a wait for the main course, but they kept checking in. Solid spot.

Nice surprise that they allow dogs on the terrace. The evening atmosphere was pretty good for a summer night. Food was decent, though service was a bit slow.

The fried calamari and shrimp were so fresh. The batter was light and crispy, not heavy or oily at all. You could really taste the seafood itself. Just a shame the portion felt a bit small for the price.

The tasting menu portions are always generous. I keep coming back for the culurgiones pasta.

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

Very nice restaurant, food was amazing with great presentation and revisiting the traditional Liguria&rsquo;s dish with an innovative eye. Only drawback, the terrace is beautiful and overlooking the sea but not on the sea, the main road is just below&hellip;. And the house wine was not at level with the food but wine cart was great

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.

This place is a hidden gem with Mediterranean flavors in a rustic setting. The wine selection is impressive, and the food is expertly prepared, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy quality cuisine.

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!

The restaurant is a gem! Fast and friendly service and a very cozy atmosphere. The food is AMAZING! We ordered trofie al pesto, steak, and octopus, and they have an excellent wine list! The owner, Valerio, was very friendly and welcoming! The restaurant is a must in Genoa! Absolutely, we&#39;ll go again.

Grilled sea bream was spot on. The seafood platter too &ndash; everything tasted just-caught fresh. Found a crisp white wine that really let the flavors shine. A bit pricey, but you&#39;re paying for that quality.

Excellent food and service. The meat was really good and cooked at the best. I will definitely come back!

Excellent food, plus traditional with a creative touch: starter, main, and dessert alike. Most gracious service. Waiting time a bit excessive though, as lasted more than two hours (plus to get there from downtown you need some 20 minutes). Still, food wise, totally recommendable.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. The prosciutto panini was solid, bread crisp and filling generous. Coffee&#39;s decent too. Good spot for a reliable bite when you&#39;re in the area.

Loved the cozy feel of this family-run spot in the old town alleys. The trofie pasta with pesto was fantastic, but the real star was the atmosphere. It felt just like eating in a nonna&#39;s kitchen, so warm and welcoming.

The roast pork special was really good. Tender, with a nice flavor. A solid choice for a weeknight dinner. The price was a bit high for the portion, but I&#39;d order it again.

The food is lovely, and the prices are fair. What stood out for me was how comfortable the seating was&mdash;I never felt rushed to leave. A nice, relaxed spot.
