Siamo stati da Il Genovese durante una breve tappa a Genova e non potevamo scegliere posto migliore! Lo abbiamo scoperto tramite il web e siamo rimasti entusiasti: accoglienza calorosa, personale gentile e disponibile, e un’atmosfera autentica che ti fa sentire subito nel cuore della cucina ligure. Volevamo assaggiare qualcosa di tipico e questo ristorante ha superato ogni aspettativa: tutto buonissimo, curato e davvero genuino. Un indirizzo che consigliamo assolutamente a chi cerca tradizione vera e qualità. "Il gruppo di Foggia"
