An incredible restaurant in Genoa — one of those places you instantly want to come back to.

Everything just works: the food, the atmosphere, and the people.

Must-try:
Trofie al pesto (true Genovese classic)
Farinata (thin chickpea pancake from a wood-fired oven)
And my personal favorite — the best tiramisu I’ve ever had.

A place you remember for both the taste and the feeling.

Sa Pesta is an informal place and it does not seem like you can make reservations. So we went there for lunch one day and just waited 10-15 minutes to get in. We got a small table and the place is hectic with the sound of all the guests enjoying food and talking. I started with a classic Genova dish - trofie pasta with pesto and this was really delicious. My wife had the trofie with ragu but I think my pesto pasta was better. Unfortunately they did not have all the desserts on the menu and my basil panna cotta was OK but not amazing. Sa pesta is worth a visit - not just for the food but also to experience the bustling atmosphere.

A friendly local restaurant in the town center, near the sea in Genoa. The restaurant does not accept the seat reservation but it looked quite easy to find the seat. Almost all tables are shared table. There are many staff and all of them are very kind and fast workers. The dishes are excellent. The prices are standard for Genoa town.

I had a very disappointing experience at Sa Pesta in Genoa. The service was incredibly poor. The waitress seemed annoyed, spoke loudly, and almost sounded like she was yelling at customers. When I asked her to explain what the mixed plate included, she couldn’t explain it at all.

I ordered the pesto pasta, which wasn’t bad in terms of flavor, but unfortunately it arrived cold and took a long time to be served.

Would I recommend this place? Only if you’ve always wanted the experience of being yelled at by your grandmother while eating cold pasta. Otherwise, there are much better options in Genoa.

Friendly staff, very old school decor with mostly Italian customers. It felt local. The pesto trofie and pansotti were both nice. Basil pannacotta also good. Farinata was crispy and savory. The mix of veggie pies were quite nice, some better than others
