"This place was incredible. Excellent ambience and service, and really top notch food. We went in ordering only an antipasto and a primo each but were so mind blown we stayed for meat too, and were not disappointed! Really everything was so well curated and tasty. Lamb was divine."

"Excellent place in the upper side of Genoa. Great service, excellent ambiance, and delicious food! We enjoyed apatizers the most. However, primi and secondi were also good! They also have great wine list!"
