7.5/10It was a good experience. Fun to find.The food was good. More expensive than we had anticipated. In the main room the Italians seemed to be having a good time.

10/10Loved this place, great service and simple, honest, and tasty food. Pasta was excellent. Restaurant was very busy, testimony to how good this restaurant is. Host was very good, and whilst being the only person serving, was very personable and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

6/10The service was fine. My first pasta dish (ravioli al tucco) was very nice and tasty. I personally didn't enjoy my mixed fried fish dish (and would have preferred less fish and something other than just a wedge of lemon to accompany it - and/or advice on side dishes). (My rating of 'ok' for the ambience was only because I was booked in early in the evening and so the first to arrive.)

thank you very much for your review, unfortunately we Italians accompany the fried dish with lemon. then if he orders me a fried fish he can't expect more to arrive. we open at 7pm: as per your reservation, you arrived at the same opening time and it is normal not to find other guests thanks Michele

10/10We sat next to a large stone wall covered in ivy. Service was great and fast. Wine suggestion was on point. 2 cocktails, 2 apps, 2 entrees, a bottle of white, and 2 espresso ls for 99€. Phenomenal!

9.5/10Excellent neighbourhood restaurant away from the bustle of the city but only a few minutes’ walk from Via Settembre XX. Attentive staff who seem to enjoy their jobs. Interesting Ligurian menu.

10/10Great Food and Great Service. Our best culinary experience in Genova and one of the best in Italy. We are tourists from Poland, but we generally avoid restaurants aimed at tourists. We look for restaurants aimed at local people and the city inhabitants. Da Genio was recommended to us by local taxi driver. This is the place with typical Ligurian cuisine. Simple, fresh and very tasty. Great choice of sea food prepared by a chef, who knows that taste is most important not only the look, The owner who does the service is very gentle and smiling. We spent 3 days in Genova and dined 2 times at Da Genio. When we come back to Genova we will certainly dine there every day.

4.5/10First off the food wasn't good. The veggie pie was overcooked. Clearly it was warmed up either in oven or in microwave rather than prepared for the meal. Fried seafood was not bad bad not good either. Sort of indifferent with no soul dish.

6.5/10Being in Genoa for work, I opted for a quick dinner. I was attracted by the good evalution given by the previous customers. However I was not really impressed by the quality of the food. The pesto sauce of the trofie was estremely oily for my taste....

Belin arrivi mezz’ora prima dell’apertura atmosfera come si fa a giudicare Mangia una Trofia al pesto E una bottiglia di acqua e si giudica il mangiare Finito la cena come si fa a giudicare un ristorante In 15 min Qui si vive di questo mestiere Nn vuoi spendere Bene ma non giudicare X favore c’è del sacrificio dietro grazie

10/10This was a great small restaurant hidden in the street. The food was amazing! It's the best pesto I have ever eaten and pudding was delicious too.

9.5/10The food was amazing, the host suggested a great wine and the atmosphere in the restaurant is nice and authentic. The service was very friendly and you can tell that the staff enjoys working at the restaurant and chatting with guests. Our only issue was that we had to wait 30 minutes to pay, so you should probably make sure to actively go to the entrance to pay. Otherwise it was a perfect evening.
