Absolutely charming osteria and pub with a terrace overlooking the crashing waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Wow. The chef here creates wonderful dishes of the utmost simplicity. Perfumy, flavorful, titillating. The beer list (bottles and tap) is very appealing. If you are looking for Italian microbreweries they’ve got some very good ones (Maltus Faber should be there too now) and if you want some quality Belgians, they are there too (Taras Boulba? Why, yes!). Had a splendid evening here thanks to Massimo and Kuaska, but the place can stand on its own. It may be a little out of Genova for those not used to the area, but I know I’ll do everything I can to come back next time I am in town.

The best place to drink beer in Genova: always great variety on tap and especially in the bottles: you can go there every evening for a year and never drink the same thing. The food is wonderful, too: great Italian dishes, handmade pasta with delicious dressing, great meat dishes and, obviously, fish. The price is not high, neither for food nor for beer. The atmosphere is great: with a wonderful terrace facing the sea, in a little bay at the east end of the city, in a part of Genova which was a little separate town (Sant’Ilario) until the 1930s. The service is competent and impeccable: the waiters and the owner are kind and professional. You find great bottles here, from the best Italian micro brewers (Montegioco, Barley, Le Baladin..), from Belgium (including a good selection of true lambic, mostly from Cantillon), from the USA (Rogue, Flying Dog, Anchor, Great Divide) and other parts of the world. Just one thing: do not trust the list very much, always ask if they got something special... they always do!
