About

Sà Pesta is a historic trattoria nestled in the heart of Genoa, near the Cathedral and the Aquarium. Dating back to the 19th century, the restaurant has preserved its original 1800s charm – wood‑fired ovens, frescoed walls, wooden tables, and an intimate, warm atmosphere that transports diners to a bygone era. The menu showcases authentic Ligurian fare, with the signature farinata (a chickpea flour flatbread made in the traditional wood‑fired oven) and a variety of savory torte, rich soups, and classic pasta dishes. The staff greet guests with a friendly smile and aim to serve each course promptly, creating a convivial dining experience. Guests can enjoy lunch from 12:00 to 15:00 and dinner from 19:00 to 22:00 on selected days (Thursday through Saturday). Reservations are recommended during peak seasons and can be made via the booking link or by calling 010 246 8336. Whether you’re a family looking for hearty portions, a couple seeking a romantic moment in a historic setting, or a food enthusiast eager to taste genuine Ligurian flavors, Sà Pesta offers an unforgettable culinary adventure in the heart of Genoa.
