Le Bistrot Du Port — Restaurant in Genoa

Original review below. Updated version here for increased rating to 4 star (Food 5, Service 3, Atmosphere 5): The food is extremely value for money. There is a good choice of dishes in the buffet and the cocktail drink is also very well made. Given the quality and quantity of food, this is a very good deal. You are asked to pay as soon as you get your food which felt a bit rude but apparently that is the standard practice in this restaurant. Everything else is top notch.

Original review 3 star (Food 5, Service 1, Atmosphere 5): My only complaint here is about the service. The service from the waitress was extremely lacking. The most rude part of the experience was the fact that I had just started eating and was half way through my first bite when the waitress brought me the check and stood there with the card machine asking me to pay. Everywhere else in Italy, they will wait for you to finish and only when you ask for the check, they will bring it to you. Maybe because I was the only brown person among their guests, I looked like someone who might leave without paying, so she felt the need to ask me to pay while my hands were full with my food and drink and I had just started. She could not have waited until I was done. I looked around and none of the other customers were being asked to pay like this.

Great value Aperitivo Buffet at €11.50 including a cocktail from a wide range of menu, located at Port Antico. A selection of meat, pasta and seafood. I would have liked it more if they'd offered calamari but I guess, they change menus regularly. I had lots of prawns instead😁. The service was great, we were greeted and seated straight away by friendly waitress who took our drink orders and invited us to the buffet. The staff behind the buffet were equally nice, explaining what the dishes were, (although there were some language barriers, my Italian is terrible and they tried explaining in English). It would be even better if the buffet had some deserts but we were all...

Sorry, but if you want to know the taste of really bad food you should visit this place.

Even the rice was awful, rice… which cannot be bad, it’s hard to make it bad but here… God… It was really really bad.

From all the things which I tried only shrimps was okay, really okay. Drinks had a taste of fake alcohol.

It’s my first review here and believe me there should be a really big reason why I wrote it. PEOPLE WHO WANTS TO EAT NORMAL TASTY FOOD - NEVER COME HERE!

Staff was nice, it was clean, but food…again… it’s awful. Probably all the good review here are fake or have been bought or maybe people was unconscious when they...
