Before reviewing this restaurant I would like to state that often, unfortunately, it happens that the positive reviews, as well as the excellent ones, are now to be taken with "the pliers", since more and more do not correspond to reality!
Restaurant located in an alley of the historic center of Genoa a few steps from the seafront of the port area. Pleasant location, although the evening is warm and particularly sultry. Outside tables too close to the street and it is fortunate that the cars do not pass through.
Menu that offers very interesting proposals and, above all, the right content (almost always synonymous with quality ...). Unfortunately the dishes are not good at all and the two starters, although different (a crispy octopus with caramelized onion and a warm seafood salad) tasted very similar. A first course from which I expected a lot (risotto with red prawns creamed with champagne) poorly executed and the rice too late in cooking with a taste that is anything but delicate.
As a second skewers of prawns on mashed potatoes with teriyaki sauce (which I asked separately): well presented dish but with a taste that did not convince me, leaving me unsatisfied. The potatoes, also present in one of the two starters, had a texture more reminiscent of mashed boiled potatoes. No dessert ... I preferred to end my dinner like this.
Service not up to the standard of the place, compared to other restaurants of the level, and, without appearing racist please, made up of only waiters of Asian ethnicity or so.
Adequate account except for the second.
Not recommended.
