San Giorgio

In a beautiful, still-central location steps from Brignole (the city’s second train station) with ample paid parking, San Giorgio is “THE” place in Genoa: elegant and classic, with solid quality ensured by the Scala family and the charm of a well-known local restaurateur. The restaurant is led by Guillermo Busceni, recently appointed head chef but a longtime second in command. The Mediterranean gastronomic line boasts a strong Ligurian influence – savory, aromatic, and flavorful – while incorporating modern presentations and techniques. It revives ancient traditions, such as "Meat-Stuffed Lettuce in Capon Broth," and introduces unique creations such as “Pearls of Genoa...our Gnocchi with Pesto.” The wine list is notably above average, internationally awarded, with a dedicated volume on Italian and French sparkling wines.
