Ristorante Pizzeria Da Gennaro
About
Ristorante Pizzeria Da Gennaro, located in the heart of Santa Margherita Ligure, has been serving authentic Ligurian cuisine since 1947. The family‑owned restaurant’s pride is its ancient wood‑fired oven, which delivers the iconic crust of a true Neapolitan pizza. Patrons can enjoy a hearty selection of traditional dishes—from trofie al pesto and pansoti to spicy calamarini and classic seafood platters—while indulging in freshly baked pies and decadent desserts crafted by the kitchen’s seasoned chefs. The interior offers a comfortable, table‑service setting, while the well‑furnished outdoor veranda provides a breezy, sea‑view dining experience perfect for sunset meals or casual brunches. With free Wi‑Fi, a wide menu that includes gluten‑free and vegan options, and a welcoming ambience that blends rustic charm with modern hospitality, Da Gennaro is a culinary staple for locals and visitors alike. The restaurant’s flexible seating—sala interna, veranda esterna, and a dedicated family area—makes it an ideal spot for all occasions, from intimate dates to group celebrations. Guests regularly praise the quick, friendly service, the high‑quality ingredients, and the comforting, home‑style atmosphere that transports them straight to Ligurian coastal kitchens. Whether you’re craving a classic pizza galore or a refreshing seafood twist, Da Gennaro delivers an unforgettable taste of the region’s culinary heritage right by the waterfront.
