Cambi Cafè — Restaurant in Genoa

This little Cafe is a gem. The vibes are immaculate: it is situated in an alley of sorts on a busy pedestrian street in the heart of Genoa and steps away from many museums. There are twinkling lights, climbing vines on the walls surrounding the outdoor seating, and the promise of an espresso or glass of wine. I have several unfortunate food allergies- the staff spoke enough English to understand where my Italian lacked and made me a dish of freshly rolled tortellini with spinach that met my needs perfectly. It was some of the best pasta I have had. The owner was there on this day and he chatted personably with many of the guests (a mix of locals and tourists), myself included. While I sat there sipping my wine a busker was playing the cello beautifully on the street.

Also waiters and the owner are super nice and welcoming. They do speak English well enough. It’s definitely a nice memory with it’s otantic furnishings...

We went in with the intention of getting two coffees and use their restroom. We were told there is no counter service and were sat on a table next to the counter. We asked to use their restroom and were told "ah the restroom, well we have customers having their lunch right now... Well okay, if you want to use it...". We both went to the restroom and our coffee was not served yet. We ended up paying 5€ for 2 espressos and were treated like tramps. We live in Genoa in the area, but we are never going to come back. Thank you for letting us using your very...
