My wife and I were visiting Genoa for the first time and were lucky to have one of our best meals during all of our Italian travels at Ostetrattoria! The restaurant is away from the more touristy areas and the detour is well worth it (the location is still walkable from Brignole station). First, the ambiance is that of a cozy family establishment, warm and inviting, and with unique decor. Most of the seating is on the second floor in a space that's just the right size; all the tables were taken but it was never noisy or felt crowded. Second, the servers were so attentive and kind, more than happy to accommodate our lack of Italian (they spoke near perfect English). Lastly, the food was incredible! The smoked goose carpaccio starter is a life-changing experience, truly. My main entree was a swordfish carbonara that I didn't even know existed in Ligurian cuisine and was similarly a revelation. The wife had gnocchi with pesto, very traditional and perfectly executed. Even the bread basket on the table was superb, with melt in your mouth foccacia and other tasty options. I doubt you can find a more satisfying or authentic dining experience around Genoa. Drop in for a meal if you can!

Nice food, fresh and homemade. Small and cosy, but service is quick and definitly nice quality ingrrients. Not overpriced and seems like a lot of locals come regularly. Open even after 14:30 which is normally closing time for lunch in Italy, so I ended up by chance there but I would come back on a planned visit.

Not many places can have amazing food, wonderful service and a great atmosphere. Ostetrattoria blends perfectly the three key ingredients of a perfect dinner.

One of the best experience in Italy. Food was tastefull, delicios and very fresh. But most of all, the personnel and the Chef were the kind of people whom you want to meet all the time. Grazie mille for this beautiful evening.

My friend and I had the most amazing octopus here! The food was absolutely top-notch, with every dish tasting fresh, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. The quality of the ingredients was clear, and the cooking was truly gourmet. If you’re looking for a dining experience that’s both elevated and incredibly delicious, Ostetrattoria is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Food was absolutely incredible, service was even better. I don’t think I’d ever seen this level of genuine kindness anywhere. We had meatballs, pesto pasta, and Genovese pasta, and tiramisu… all incredibly fresh and homemade. Focaccia that is brought to you is best I’ve ever had. To the owner and staff: thank you for the hospitality

I had such a beautiful experience dining here - my waiter was attentive and made great recommendations (the pesto gnocchi, the liguarian sea bass, and the perfect vermentino wine to enjoy with it). He also let me practice my Italian as I’m learning! I highly recommend this place as the food was delicious and the service was some of the best I’ve received. I’m so glad my host recommended it to me.
