Unfortunately, upon paying the bill, my husband gave enthusiastic compliments (in Italian) and the owner rudely grunted back and seemed eager to get is out of the door. We have travelled all over Italy and this is the first time we have felt unwelcome as tourists. I feel sorry for the owner of this restaurant. If he ever travels, I hope he is never made to feel like...

Michaela took care of us a-z and we even met 2 nice guys (who also got lost and stumbled upon this place). When we return to Genova- this is a definite go to....
