The window says it all |
Via Sottoripa 59r. Genoa 16135 Italy +39 10 247 2927 |
Eating good fish in Genoa without paying exorbitant amounts is not always easy to do. The solution is here, near the Aquarium, where there is a price to quality ratio that is difficult to beat. The seafood starters on the menu are a must—either hot or cold—spaghetti with lobster, mixed grill of fish and exquisite omelettes with fish. The only drawback is that this small place can get awfully crowded with people wanting to try the fresh swordfish, which is displayed in the window in a "sea" alongside squid, prawns, lobster and sea bream.

Much more than a roll |
Via Sottoripa, 27 r. Genoa 16135 Italy |
This is a very popular shop often lauded in publications that usually only mention top-class restaurants. It is very small with a window that displays a wide variety of cured meats, cheeses and everything else to put into your roll and into your stomach! A paradise for food lovers willing to queue up for more than 100 different choices of things to put in sandwiches - dozens of types of salami, (pork, wild boar etc.), prosciutti (raw, boiled, smoked), cheeses and various sauces. They offer wine by the glass, beer and all types of drinks. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A taste of Portofino |
Piazza Martiri Olivetta 7 Genoa, Genoa 16034 Italy +39 185 26 9037 |
Puny is a chic restaurant named for its owner, Luigi "Puny" Miroli, a character who fills the restaurant with his pleasant airs. In addition to Puny's charm, the restaurant specializes in sophisticated cuisine rooted in tradition—fresh fish, salted fish, sea bream with potatoes and olives and apple cake and apple or pear pancakes, hors d'oeuvres which vary according to what the sea and the season have to offer. More fortunate visitors will be able to find a place outside and immerse themselves in the worldly atmosphere of the Piazzetta di Portofino. The wine list is limited, but good.
