About this place Le Rune

Le Rune is a trattoria on Salita Inferiore di Sant'Anna in central Genoa, cooking Ligurian standards: trofie or pasta with pesto, ravioli, focaccia and seasonal fish. It's a mainstream restaurant listed as gay-friendly rather than a gay venue, and it is popular with tourists and locals alike, so booking for dinner is sensible. Prices sit in the upper-middle range for Genoa. The street is one of the steep salite climbing from the Castelletto side toward the centre, so wear sensible shoes, and the old town and Via Garibaldi are an easy walk away.

We received a recommendation for this restaurant in Genova from new friends, one of whom was born and raised here and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is very charming and the food is sublime! The flavours are well balanced, the food is perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious! I want to thank Simona and Stefania for their caring, attentive service and for making our experience truly special and unique! I highly recommend this authentic Genoese ristorante! Grazie Mille Simona e Stefania!

This is the first time I've written a review but this restaurant deserves it. My husband and I ate here on our first evening on our trip through northern Italy and southern France and this first meal turned out to be the best of the whole trip. We've visited most of Italy's regions and eaten endless amounts of frutti di mare and ragù over the years but these two dishes at Le Rune were the absolute best we've had. Large portions and generous amounts of seafood. For the main course we had the rabbit - a Ligurian specialty that we didn't really like but was very fun to try. The service was impeccable - extremely nice and attentive staff despite the restaurant being packed. We were first seated outside in the alley which was very hot - the staff noticed our dissatisfaction and quickly arranged a table for us inside which was very nice. Next time we visit Genoa, Le Rune will be the first place we book a table at. Grazie mille!

The service is quick, honest, and unpretentious, yet always attentive. The price is fair for what you get.

Super nice food, a lot of choices of traditional dishes (also ones that we didn’t see anywhere else) and very nice service!
