The restaurant was recommended by the hotel so we booked the table through the reception. Since it is quite small it is advised to make a reservation. I have seen some comments at TripAdvisor about the staff who was mostly looking after the local instead of tourists but we do not share this opinion. The service was nice and helpful,... More

All the staff members are very nice and effective, the quality of food is really high with many possible chioces in the menu. Not many seats available, so be sure you have advanced reservation if you plan to go in busy days. Prices... More

Make a reservation. They cater to locals, tourists are second rate customers to them. The food was fabulous. They have English menus, but do not expect a lot of it to be spoken. Good atmosphere... Service not so good.

We ate here two nights in a row, it was that good! it fills up quickly so go when they open, about 7:30 p.m. We ordered a meat entree as well as a pasta "first course" and shared our meals, along with a salad. Try the ricotta cake dessert, it's amazing. Good value for the money!

We came to Gaia during our stay in Genova and was pleasantly surprised by the food! Menus are available in Italian, French and English. Typically Italian menu where you order your main dish then vegetables on the side. I thought we got a good value for our money paying 46€ for two main courses, beverages, coffees and desserts. Good portions,... More

Gaia was recommended by locals and we were not dissapointed. The food was excellent as was the friendly service. It was reasonably priced and the local wine was good. This was the best meal we had in Genoa and we would definitley return again. Highly recommend!!

We often go to Gaia, it is one of our favourite restaurants in Genoa. The food is good and traditional from Liguria and is not overly expensive for the quality. The atmosphere is pleasant with the option of sitting outside in Via Cairoli during summer. We recommend Gaia.
