Mattoni Rossi — Restaurant in Genoa

Tonight, we had the pleasure of dining at Mattoni Rossi in Genoa, an experience that left us thoroughly impressed and satisfied. The highlight of our meal was the gnocchi paired with prawns and clams—a dish that masterfully balanced delicate flavors with a comforting, homemade feel. My partner opted for the pesto pasta, a choice that was equally delightful, showcasing the fresh, vibrant flavors Genoa is famous for. We couldn’t resist rounding off our meal with tiramisu, a decision we didn’t regret. Each spoonful was a perfect blend of coffee and creamy sweetness, encapsulating the essence of this classic dessert. Just don’t get caught wiping your finger in the tiramisu by another diner, like I did! The accompanying beer and wine selections complemented our dishes beautifully, enhancing the overall dining experience. Mattoni Rossi not only delighted our palates but also provided a warm, inviting atmosphere. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist. We went back a second night and had the pizza, just as good! We wanted to go the next night but it was closed due to being a Sunday! We were the only English people and Italians clearly love this place! Ok, we went back a third night out of four!...

⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔ TOURISTS PLEASE AVOID!!!! We went for coffee and they short changed us claiming they got mixed up with the note we gave them. In good faith we went for dinner, bad idea!!!!! We had 2 aperol spritz, 2 glasses of wine and fried anchovies..... We could not work out the bill breakdown - most likely confusing on purpose!!! When my husband challenged it 3 people confronted him, the wine is €6 per small wine (apparently) and 6 fried anchovies €15. The maths of the bill doesn't add up, they are ripping people off. This is absolutely not what the locals were paying. They are ripping tourists off and the service is rude..... AVOID AVOID...

Highly recommended to drink a state-of-the-art drink. Nice & elegant place which offers also something to eat and the quality is always high. The also have a dehors outside to spend a nice time during summer. Location: very nice residential area of Genoa with a massive church nearby with art pieces from Gaudì (the same guy who made the Sagrada Familia...
