"Maybe it’s because it’s Italy, but you really can’t go wrong with the pasta dishes here. The atmosphere is also totally cozy and the waiters do their best to make you comfortable and adjust to the weather and circumstances around. It was raining during our visit and they placed plastic around the veranda opening so you could still get a full view of the city and port without getting wet.
I dined here for several nights in a row and was unwell for one of them, the waitress brought me a tea with lemon free of charge.

Only downside is lackluster desserts. I think for the price they could be trying a little harder."

"The view from restaurant is spectacular. (Make sure you eat out side) inside no view and look like a large room no excitement to it !!! We were staying at the hotel, so we went up for dinner although it’s the same view for breakfast it was a very limited menu.
They gave you complementary tomatoes and mozzarella small serving The food is good I had the seafood mix which was good. We also had the spaghetti and shrimp, which were good, ordered a side salad, which was good, the bread basket was good. Glass of wine was reasonably priced. Pinot Gratio !! this is a good restaurant. Nice view if you’re staying at the hotel easy if you’re not staying at the hotel, you would enjoy the view. Prices were fair. Waitresses were very nice. Lacked a lot of English needed to call over someone that spoke English, but that work for both of us . All in all it was a pleasant evening."

"The most disappointing dining experience in my 30 years of European travel. My husband chose Il Salgari for our 17th wedding anniversary dinner based on Google reviews and photos. I made a reservation with the maitre’d Federico Cannizzaro, who confirmed by email. As soon as we arrived, I knew something was not right. The restaurant we’d seen in the photos had the lights off. The front desk sent us to the 7th floor, where we found a stark ballroom converted to a dining room. They didn’t have our reservation in the book. We should have left, but it was raining and we’d been traveling all day. So, we stayed and regretted every minute. The food looked nothing like the online photos. It was presented just like it tasted—basic, bland hotel banquet food. We came to Genoa for 36 hours to have pesto pasta; I’ve tasted better back home. My husband’s tenderloin was smothered in brown sauce; my octopus was rubbery. I felt like we were at a wedding but sat at the kids table. We asked the server why we were upstairs. He said it was because it was raining, they decided to move their indoor/outdoor restaurant to the banquet hall. The restaurant downstairs had more tables inside than the makeshift dining room, so that made no sense. Trying to find nice things to say. The staff was extremely friendly and made good wine pairing recommendations. The flat bread was quite good. If it’s not a rainy day, you are not foodies and you are staying at the hotel and don’t want to leave, then you might enjoy it."
