La Perla — Restaurant in Genoa

Amazing! Food was incredible, fresh, caught earlier in the day. So light and fresh but the sauce was so incredibly tasteful! What really made it stand out was the hospitality. I'm a teen solo traveller who speaks minimal italian but Kamal and Carla made me feel so welcome! They speak good english and will help with italian if you need it. Carla ushered me in and conversed with me in my hap hazard italian whilst Kamal came over and asked what I wished to drink and eat.

We spoke and Kamal was rather taken aback as to why I chose there to eat. I said it had fantastic reviews on the internet and he was in awe. We conversed as he made my meal and stumbled onto the fact he was from Egypt and I could speak Arabic! He was so giddy asking me about my family, where I was from, how many times I had been to italy before and the like.

I showed him my photographs I had taken in my few days so far here and he loved them, asking me to get them printed!

Fantastic hosts, made me feel like family. Grazie mille, ammo...

A wonderful place, the owner is very nice and the food is DELICIOUS!!! ❤ The best restaurant in Genua. // Thank you so much for the delicious food and wonderful service. In Poland I don't like tiramisu, but here the tiramisu by KAMAL is very good. All dishes were wonderful. This is the best restaurant I have ever been to. Tomorrow we will return to Poland, but I hope we will come back here again. We would like this restaurant in...

Ci siamo capitati a cena per caso ed abbiamo seguito i suggerimenti di una sig.ra che serviva in sala da sola e del simpatico cuoco egiziano (solo nel nome ormai tanto parla bene l'italiano ed il genovese). Il locale si presenta come una trattoria di qualche tempo fa, e non lascia spazio a fronzoli estetici. Il cuoco e la Sig.ra non avevano la "divisa" di gala, ma hanno saputo essere affabili e consigliarci. Gli antipasti (caldi) leggeri e saporiti; le alici marinate, ottime e del posto (dalla dimensione). I ravioli di pesce e triglia al nero di seppia (consigliato perchè fatto nella mattinata) erano veramente unici. Il fritto misto, buono, in quantità, qualità e varietà (l'olio assorbito dalla carta di portata era irrisorio), Buoni i dolci, migliorabile il sorbetto (a gusto nostro). Una bottiglia di vino della casa, per nulla male ed ad un buon prezzo (10,00). Se volete pesce fresco, ve lo portano al tavolo e vi consigliano a seconda dei vostri gusti. Insomma, se torno a Genova, io ho trovato il luogo ove passare la serata, atteso che dista poche centinaia di metri dal lungomare. Un solo consiglio, rivedendo leggermente al ribasso i prezzi, potreste giustamente farvi conoscere maggiormente, perchè questo è un ristorante/trattoria da consigliare...
