Guidebook for Genova
Food Scene
Very sound and stable quality for a fair price, quiet place, cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Dinner for two: expect to pay around 75 euro in total for a starter + 1st or 2nd dish and a 75 cl. bottle of wine. I love this place, which is at 3 minutes walking distance from the residence.

Very polular and no-frills restaurant, with excellent value for money. Do not expect an "elegant" place, but go there to fill in your stomach with good and reliable home-made food. Book in advance!
