Had a really nice experience here. It’s the only place still open after 8pm near my hotel. The food is very good and the owner is accommodating.

Beautiful place where the local people go. Came here by kind of accident and it was the best decision. Great see food and the best stuff ever. He helped us with our order and told us touching story how the restaurant was open. Thank you for your time and we would love to visit this place again.

We went there without reservation on a Saturday night, luckily they managed to get a table for us. We can tell it is one loved by locals! Loved every dishes. Our favourites were the sea urchin and bottarga squid ink tagliatini and monkfish which was cooked to perfection. Service was fast and friendly.

A small and cozy restaurant with delicious, home-style food. Feels authentic and welcoming, with no crowds of tourists.

After a long and tiring day, together with my friend, we were lucky to find A L'Anterna di Don Gallo just near our hotel—and what a great surprise it was! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by a very kind host. We enjoyed orata with lemon sauce and ombrina alla ligure, both incredibly fresh and full of flavor, along with a simple yet tasty insalata mista. For dessert, we treated ourselves to a rich soufflé cuore caldo al cioccolato and a delicious sacripantina, a traditional Ligurian cake. This place felt authentic and welcoming. I recommend it over any fancy restaurant. A true hidden gem!

Best osteria we tried in Genova. It's a beautiful place with amazing pasta and fish, and friendly service. We try to visit every year and we keep going back here.

Amazing food, very friendly service and home-like atmosphere. Everything was freshly made, the fish is fantastic!

Andrei Cotfas

The service was very good, the food was incredible. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try authentic Italian food.

If you want to experience an Italian hospitality, this is the place. Amazing wines, amazing foods(Baccaletti, Fish Ragu pasta, and the soup for entree.. etc. Everything was perfect)... Recommended for everyone, anyone.

My bestie and I were on business trip in Genoa, and we decided to skip the hotel dinner, and explore nearby. This restaurant pops up as the best seafood place nearby, and I am always a fan of seafood. This restaurant is on the west end of the bay, a bit closer to the airport, not touristy, and the owner of the restaurant does not speak English. However the chef has worked in UK for many years, and was kindly summoned for help. The patiance he had was enoumous, he went through the whole menu with us, explained each iteam and gave his recommendations on what is fresh, what we would expect. the blue crab was so good and I had to order a second dish. We had unfiltered beers, and a very nice bottle of white wine at an incredibly low price. the whole dinner was perhaps the best we had in Genoa, and it will easily cost us double of that in London. Highly recommended, for the food and experience.

Fantastic, seafood sublime, pasta amazing. Perfect example of regional cuisine with a relaxed atmosphere and amazing value. Come here without hesitation, but be aware, you may have to book. Many walk in customers were turned away when we were here. Update for 2023. Still simply amazing, have been coming here since 2017 (I come to Genoa for an annual charity event) Won't go into the details of the amazing work Don Gallo did for the community, as you want to know about the food - it's the best in Genoa.

Only had one night in Genoa before catching ferry to Barcelona and staying at Holiday Inn close but this place had good reviews so thougth I would try it. It was amazing........the black ink pasta with seafood and the branzino with zucchini were amazingly good. Very nice staff and I assume owners. I would go back in a flash if I was back in Genoa again.

It you come to visit Genoa, you must see this authentic local restaurant. The place has a specific vibe, and the food is great. Is different from all the restaurants and pubs from the old center, is more quite, more Genovese.

Great everything, great service great food... Great presentation :)

Umberto Axel Bona

Cozy place with typical Genoese decor, it's better to get a reservation. The food is amazing, best pasta misto mare I ever had. Beware there's a bit of garlic in almost every dish.

Richard Kittler

A very nice local joint. They have just meals made of fish, but they were so sweet and cooked me a steak with a fresh salad. It was delicious!

This is an excellent restaurant in every respect - food quality, service, prices - and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. This was our second vist in September and we'll be back!

Fermati per caso per una cena ! Abbiamo preso le trofie al pesto , ottime ed un fritto misto . Il proprietario gentile , e disponibile. Unica pecca onestamente è il viavai di gentaglia proprio davanti al ristorante

Luogo molto particolare, curato e pulito. La storia che c'è dietro poi è ancora più affascinante. La scelta nel menù non è vastissima, ma ogni singolo piatto è curato alla perfezione. In foto: acciughe fritte, pasta con zucchine, gamberi e zafferano e spaghetti con telline (simili a vongole) e pomodorini. La cena è stata ancora più piacevole grazie alla disponibilità e cortesia del personale, anche se una cameriera ha dimenticato l'olio richiesto (scusandosi poi). Ho apprezzato molto. Consiglio calorosamente questo ristorantino, sito vicino alla partenza dei traghetti. Possibilità di mangiare all'aperto.

Consigliato per l'ambiente e il cibo.

È un buchetto, 2/3 stanze con una decina di tavoli. Il fine settimana se non prenoti non entri. Ristrutturato bene in maniera semplice e funzionale. Ambienti in stile marinaro come da location davanti al porto e al terminal traghetti. Parcheggio inestitente purtroppo. Cucina buona e prezzi alla mano. Personale carino e disponibile.

Mi piace molto mangiare in questa osteria, l'atmosfera è familiare e allegra, il posto è bello, le immagini di don Gallo ti riscaldano il cuore. I piatti sono preparati con cura, il pesce è fresco!

I was taken there from colleagues of mine who know very well this place. We had some appetisers and then I had typical trofie with pesto. Local white wine very tasty. The atmosphere is fantastic, remembering Don Gallo, a priest who helped a lot of people. The service is very fast and the waiters are kind. Surely I'll go back!

Osteria tipica genovese, il menù è essenziale ci sono pochi piatti ma quelli che ci sono sono buoni. Se state cercando un pasto veloce senza pretese ma buono fa al caso vostro.

Durante il mio viaggio di lavoro a Genova, ho scoperto casualmente questo locale proprio verso l'orario di chiusura. L'interno, seppur gestito a livello familiare, trasmetteva un senso di trascuratezza e anche la qualità dei piatti proposti, secondo il mio punto di vista, non ha raggiunto livelli eccelsi. Considerando la posizione in una città di mare e il prezzo pagato, mi aspettavo un'esperienza culinaria più soddisfacente.

Locale nella norma, camerieri e personale gentile, cibo buono, prezzo nella norma. Sono andato un martedì e ho preso dei gamberoni aglio e limone come antipasto, mi sono sembrati buoni ma niente di eccezionale, poi come primo delle linguine al pesto ( si è a Genova come non mangiare il pesto) ed erano davvero saporite e poi come dolce una cheescake ai frutti di bosco, al posto della Philadelphia però ce la panna cotta, buona ma non è il 🔝 magari prendete un tiramisù per provare altro. Aggiungo le foto per avere un idea.

Molto insoddisfatti per il trattamento scorretto. Prima di Natale abbiamo prenotato per cena per sedici persone concordando, visto che saremmo arrivati tardi, un menu fisso a loro scelta di antipasti, un piatto, e dolce della casa, per 25€ a testa. Non voglio commentare l’accoglienza, perché la “simpatia” potrebbe essere soggettiva (anche se “sbuffare” per tutto è sembrato ai presenti oggettivamente maleducato). Poiché festeggiavamo un compleanno, ed abbiamo portato la torta, abbiamo chiesto (in anticipo) se potessimo avere una bottiglia per un brindisi anziché il dolce della casa. Ci è stato risposto di no, che loro avevano “solo champagne da 70€”. Quando però non ci hanno portato nemmeno il dolce della casa, ci é stato detto che ormai la cucina era chiusa, e tanto avevamo la nostra torta. E naturalmente, il prezzo non è stato scontato. Comportamento molto scorretto, a nostro avviso.

Cibo buono, ma purtroppo l’esperienza è stata rovinata dal personale estremamente scortese. Nonostante la nostra cortesia, non abbiamo ricevuto nemmeno una risposta ai nostri “grazie”. Un atteggiamento freddo e poco professionale che rende difficile apprezzare completamente il locale. Peccato, perché la cucina meriterebbe molto di più.
