Da Domenico
The local Genovese would have liked to have kept Da Domenico to themselves, but its tasteful ambience, cozy and secluded tables were just too hard to keep secret. Not to mention, Da Domenico's menu has some of the city's best traditional dishes, most featuring a variety of fresh-caught fish. Reservations are a must.

Just steps away from the historic San Lorenzo Cathedral, Le Cantine Squarciafico is becoming increasingly popular among the Genovese, especially its younger crowd.

Da Vittorio
Da Vittorio is reasonably priced, yet will satisfy even the most discerning of palates. Begin with the hot or cold starters, and then choose an entree from a huge aquarium containing live swordfish. This smaller restaurant has a tendency to get crowded, but the lively atmosphere makes up for the close quarters.
