"THE BEST fish restaurant you will find in Genova. There are plenty, and most look better than this small and clamped rsstaurant, in an anonymus Via Assarotti. But the food, oh dear! Very well combined flavours, great technique, and extremely fresh fish. You can't walk out there without trying Cappon Magro. And prices? Extremely competitive for what you get!! Go go go!"
