Le Mani in Pasta — Restaurant in Genoa

Was given a suggestion by a local to come and try this place. We met in a line up at the museum. So as a tourist we made the 15 min walk from our Airbnb to this lovely & charming Resto. Had read some Google reviews and chatted with our lovely server who is originally from the Phillapines. She suggested the seafood linguini with a paring with a local white white. This was a delicious start , we were given water & bread too. The kitchen was kind enough to split into 2 plates with a huge amount of clams & mussels. Both plates also had some shrimp & the taste was ideal & quantity ideal for 2. Our main was the fresh white fish with potatoes, tomatoes, olives & pine nuts. We asked for some lemon and that finished out the dish very well. Chef had made a tender & tasty dish that we enjoyed till the end. Too full for dessert but really enjoyed coming on a quiet Sunday evening…very good value for money 👍Thanks to Davide for the...

This was our very first dinner on our trip to Italy. Highly recommend. I was looking for somewhere with squid ink pasta as that was my husband's one request and this place did not disappoint. We made a reservation for 7pm on a Sunday about a week in advance via what's app by contacting the cell number on their contact page which was very easy and quick just keep in mind and be respectful of time differences. I would deff recommend making a reservation as we saw many people get turned away without one. The staff was very friendly and kindly spoke enough English that allowed us to easily order and have a little conversation. We started with the meat and cheese platter YUM!! My husband of course got his squid ink pasta which he enjoyed and I got the Pansoti in walnut sauce which was devine. We finished up with a tiramisu which was great as well. Very satisfied with having our first meal...

Normally I'm not giving less than 4 stars, but here I must. The food was good, not amazing but good. The thing is that the waiter/owner of the restaurant was really rude. We felt like he doesn't want to serve us, like he is the boss and we are little kids that know nothing about food. He was rushing us to choose from the menu. Normally we would stand up, say something and leave. But in this case we were with a bigger group. Something else to be aware of, if you end up deciding to go there, is at the moment of paying your bill. He wanted to trick us into paying double service fees. Thanks to one of our friends he changed the bill. There is a lot of similar, cute, little restaurant in the area, so don't waste your time or good spirits here. Definitely not...
