My husband and I dined at Osteria Rustichello last year when we were visiting Genoa, absolutely LOVED our meals, and HAD to return to this restaurant again during this year’s visit! I chose the artichoke stuffed ravioli with shrimp and it was AMAZING! My husband ordered the sea bass and could not get over how much he enjoyed it! The tiramisu and panna cotta with caramel sauce were equally delicious. The ambiance is wonderful, the service attentive, such a gem of a restaurant!

The food was excellent and the service was great! It is a small restaurant and very popular, which means it can get quite loud.

Cozy restaurant with friendly staff who speak good English. We ordered a starter, a bottle of wine, and a main course, but were almost bursting out of our clothes afterward, haha. The food was very tasty, and we paid about 40 euros per person. Highly recommended!

The quality of food was very good! We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of the place. The level of service was not so high as the servant somehow forgot several things, it can happen although. However at the end the chef Velariy came to our table asking about our experience. We had a warm discussion and positivity overwhelmed)) Will come back again!

Appetizers were great. Especially bruschetta and grilled calamari. Fried calamari was ok. We had pasta, seared fish and fried fish. Very plain and without any flavoured . Tiramisu was ok

We were disappointed. It was crowded and noisy. I had artchoke ravioli with few small shrimp. The sauce was not the appropriate sauce. My husband had the pasta of the day with polpo and it had the same sauce as mine. Again not the appropriate sauce. I love to cook and in my opinion, food would have been delicious if appropriate sauce was used. Owner asked if food was good but not sure if it's a good idea to say something while other customers can listen.

Solid local Italian on first night in Genova. Dining area inside is small and compact and was warm that evening. There are 2 downstair dining areas and we were in a corner of the smallest with a reservation. Service was good and recommended local wine was great. Good portions and quality. I would recommend and request a table in the larger room or outside on a nice evening.

We used to visit here over 20 years ago and although the people running it were different it has kept its homely vibe and served very good food and wine. The staff are super friendly and it was a pleasure to return. Great little institution where the staff work really hard to keep their customers happy. Thank you!
