Service

Superb restaurant, highly recommended. They accommodated us and we were 6 adults and 4 children (ages 2,4,8 and 10). One of the adults was gluten free. The food was delicious and the staff very nice. The owner Pablo was very helpful suggesting different dishes. The quality of the products was very good and we enjoyed the fresh fish and homemade pasta. Thank you so much for making our lunch so enjoyable!

Great food and great service. It was very quiet this evening but I hope this isn&rsquo;t always true. This place deserves to be very successful.

A lovely cosy yet lively venue, excellent food with very good portions size. The house wine complimented our fish dishes perfectly. Staff smiling and courteous

Good fishfood  with high raw material quality and nice presentationParticularly advisable the starters selection with some original and outstanding recipes The venue is  very  simple  , close to the highway exit , neat and tidy Very  warm and gentle service Prices a bit in the high range , given the context also far from the seaside  , fine with the 20% The Fork discount...

Having dined here multiple times, I can confidently say that the quality of the food is consistently high. The chef&#39;s innovative approach to traditional dishes makes each visit a new experience.

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 restaurant offers excellent Ligurian cuisine with a charming outdoor area that creates a romantic atmosphere. The seafood dishes are particularly worth trying!

We booked on route to another destination booked on line , restaurant was charming the waiter was very attentive would recommend.

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

I had a wonderful time dining at this bistro, where the food was consistently delicious. The desserts are particularly noteworthy, and the overall ambiance is perfect for a special occasion.

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.

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.

Absolutely lovely food and even lovelier staff! I am 1 out of 3 friends travelling on vacation and am vegetarian, so the unique meatballs/ pasta/ other available dishes that had SO MANY vegetarian (and classic meat) options were amazing. The two staff were super friendly and welcoming. For a restaurant that is close to a tourist plaza, they were so sweet, patient and caring to us for our dinner. Absolutely recommend to anyone, especially if you&rsquo;re looking for something different/ fun/ local!

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.

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

Location fantasticaMaterie prime top e ben preparatePersonale disponibilissimoIl top!Una tappa indispensabile se passate da queste parti

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 service is outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff who offer excellent recommendations for wine.

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

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!

The restaurant offers good food and great service. Portions are small. Atmosphere is sophisticated.  The gluten free pasta was not really good, the could&rsquo;ve put more effort. I would appreciate more attention to that. Meat as a second course was really good!
