About this place Ristorante La Voglia di Genova - A Coae de Zena

La Voglia di Genova is a small restaurant on Salita di Coccagna in Genoa's historic centre, cooking Ligurian classics: trofie or fresh pasta with pesto, fried anchovies and other local dishes. Part of the seating is in a garden under an olive tree, a quiet corner off the narrow caruggi lanes. It is a mainstream gay-friendly restaurant, not a gay venue. It rates 4.7 on Google from about 640 reviews, with the owner and staff often mentioned by name for their service. Prices are modest. The room is small, so reserve, especially if you want a garden table.

Delicious dinner in a garden under the olive tree. The staff was friendly and helpful. The owner explained the menu and recommended the best choices. The fried anchovies with fried panissa, the pesto, the homemade pasta, and the cheesecake were excellent. A lovely evening, highly recommended.

We had such a wonderful experience at La Voglia di Genova! From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. A special mention to our waiter, Pietro, who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. We were looking to discover some of the specialties of the region, and Pietro made excellent recommendations. He also took the time to ask about our wine preferences, making the experience feel very personal and thoughtful. And the pesto was simply outstanding. Honestly, the best pesto we have ever had! We were even lucky enough to meet the person who made it, which made the experience even more special. Hearing about cooking with love and passion was such a beautiful touch, and you could truly taste that passion in the food. It was more than just a great meal, it was a lovely experience that felt authentic and full of the spirit of Genova. Beautiful food, wonderful hospitality, and people who genuinely care about what they do. Thank you, Pietro, and the whole team at La Boglia di Genova. We will definitely remember this experience and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Genova! ❤️🇮🇹

First time there for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff, clean and well-organized location. The owner is a true guardian of Genoese culinary tradition. Wide selection and fair prices. Highly recommended!
