Eataly Genoa is more than just a place to eat – it’s an experience that blends fine Italian cuisine with culture, quality, and breathtaking views. Located in the Porto Antico area, this spot is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic food, vibrant atmospheres, and a touch of elegance in their dining experience.
From the moment you step in, you’re welcomed by a warm and modern space that reflects Italy’s passion for good food and conviviality. The layout is open and airy, with large windows that offer panoramic views of the harbor – especially beautiful at sunset. Whether you choose to dine indoors or on the terrace, the setting is ideal for a relaxed lunch or a romantic dinner.
The menu at Eataly Genoa is a celebration of Italian flavors, with a strong focus on regional specialties and high-quality ingredients. Everything from the fresh seafood pasta to the wood-fired pizzas is crafted with care and attention to detail. I highly recommend the Ligurian trofie al pesto – it’s simple yet absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor from the homemade pesto. The seafood dishes are also exceptional – fresh, perfectly cooked, and beautifully plated.
What sets Eataly apart is not just the food, but the philosophy behind it. They support local producers, use seasonal ingredients, and promote sustainability. You can taste the difference in every bite. The wine list is equally impressive, featuring an excellent selection of Italian wines, with knowledgeable staff who are happy to help you choose the perfect pairing.
The service was professional and friendly. The staff spoke both Italian and English, and they made sure we were comfortable and well looked after throughout our visit.
After your meal, you can stroll through the shop area, where they sell a wide range of gourmet products – from artisan pasta and sauces to Italian wines and sweets. It’s the perfect place to pick up souvenirs or gifts for food lovers.
In short, Eataly Genoa delivers a complete experience: exquisite food, a stunning location, great service, and a chance to take a little piece of Italy home with you. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, this place is a true culinary...
Read moreThe WORST experience. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone (especially tourists). Immediately we were greeted with rudeness when waiting in line for a table but we decided to stay for the view. It took over 20 minutes for them to take our order and I asked them to repeat to ensure it was all correct (which it was). 40 minutes later the food still hadn’t arrived (even though tables who arrived later then us had received theirs). They then bring over two of the meals and miss one. I asked if the other was on its way and they said they would check and they never got back to us. In the meantime, We did not have any cutlery and I had to ask twice to get some so that the rest of the table could eat. The third meal never arrived, I chased again and they just seemed so uninterested and did not apologise. It turns out they missed it from the order (even though I asked them to confirm). It gets to the bill and it was a crazy price considering only two people had eaten, €76. We asked for a receipt so that we could check everything and they were hesitant to provide this, we insisted and they did. They tried to charge us for a pasta dish that we did not order or receive. There was also 4 separate service charges on the receipt counting to €20. We tried to get to the bottom of it and the waiter Vanessa F was laughing. I have never experienced such poor service and lack...
Read moreI have shopped at many of the Eataly locations, both in Europe as well as in North America and I always went back for their wide selection of products. This evening, I went to the Eataly in Genoa and I was appalled by the rude service that I was greeted with. While choosing some tomatoes in the produce section, the woman working there begins to scold me for touching the tomatoes. No self-serve she keeps repeating in an irritated tone. I can't speak for others, but when I'm purchasing produce (especially over-priced produce), I want to choose the produce myself. Every other Eataly that I have been to, including the ones in Milan, Turin and Rome, no one made a fuss about choosing ones own produce. You pick what you want and they politely weigh it for you and adhere the price sticker onto the bag. Meanwhile, in Genoa, you're treated like a child because you dare to touch a tomato. As much as I like Eataly, I must admit that I am quite turned off and will not be returning. I know that Italians aren't exactly known for their polite manner, but if you hate your job so much that you can't be courteous to customers then maybe you should find another job - perhaps behind a desk and away from dealing with people? The man at the coffee bar, unfortunately wasn't much better. A smile would go a long way is all I'll say...
