We stop here for a lunch, we were visiting Genova and we passed by. Very nice location, with historical decorations. Friendly and nice staff. Very good food, freshly prepared. We had spaghetti with cozze and trofie Portofino. Both well cocked! Good job! Tasty sauces! I really recommend if you are nearby.
