Osteria Sopra Il Mare In Genova

01/04/2024: The restaurant is located on the hills close to Sestri Levante, reachable in just 15 minutes from the motorway toll booth; the location is nice, unfortunately there is no parking and therefore you have to make do with leaving the car along the road, in some clearing that is found. The short stone and concrete descent that leads to the restaurant is fairly steep, nothing transcendental, but to be avoided with shoes with leather soles or high heels (keep this in mind even if there are elderly people with you who have difficulty walking). There is a main room with approximately 30-35 seats and a small room with 16 seats; if the place is full it is very noisy; we stayed one evening at the end of March and with 2 pellet stoves turned on (at minimum) it was still decidedly too hot. The service in the room is mainly carried out by a kind and willing boy and we were pleased that at the end of the evening the owner came to cordially greet all the guests present. Fiaso menu, at the price of 33 euros each, without any problem paying by card. Many appetizers typical of the Ligurian rural tradition, served a little too "in bursts" and where I would have replaced some fried dishes with samples of savory pies, given that you already have mixed fried food among the second courses; I was particularly struck by the stuffed cabbage, which I had never eaten and I found delicious, and the fried bread which lent itself very well to being accompanied with salami and coppa. Already from the appetizers it is clear that all local products are brought to the table. 0 fruit of their demanding work in the surrounding terraced lands; the wine brought to the table is discreet, not too strong and doesn't give you a headache, with a very light, slightly sour aftertaste. Homemade bread without infamy or praise. The first courses were served more than 1 hour after the starters, but unfortunately the kitchen is not huge and therefore some excessive slowdown in service can happen (it would have been useful to spread the starters out a little longer); in reality the first is only one, that is ravioli with meat sauce, but if you want you can do an encore and, above all, they are something absolutely divine for the palate, I would say amazing (I have been to various farmhouses, trattorias, taverns and restaurants , but I had never eaten such "emotional" ravioli... applause). For the second course we were served veal tip and baked potatoes: the meat was cooked spectacularly, it melted in the mouth. Afterwards, a generous and discreet Italian-style mixed fry. Excellent desserts, also homemade. The rating I would give is 4.5 out of 5 (some details to improve) Would I go back? Yes Would I recommend it? Yes (ravioli like this I guarantee you won't find them anywhere else). I hope this review can be useful to you

17/02/2024: La struttura è piccola e molto accogliente, cucina tipica ligure abbondante e di ottima qualità. Moltissimi antipasti ….e già con quelli ci si ritrova sazi…ravioli con eccellente ragù, secondi altrettanto graditi, vino e dolce . Prezzi contenuti. Consigliato se si vuole un vero agriturismo in zona.
