Many years ago, I always tried to visit the top rated pizza restaurant and the top rated burger restaurant in every city that I went to, something which I’ve fallen out of the habit of doing. But, as it’s my first time in Genoa, I thought I’d try the top rated burger place which also happened to be advertising craft beer.
I did once know a little Italian, but I’ve forgotten that as I’m trying to muster a few words of Polish together. Fortunately, the staff member here was helpful, engaging and spoke perfect English.
Craft beer in the fridge, this surprised and delighted me.
I went for the TUKA New English IPA from Birra dell’Eremo and had a taste of stone fruit, it was refreshing and rounded.
I went for the Miscio burger with iceberg lettuce, tomato, tomatoes and gherkins. All very decent, the burger was cooked well, tasted meaty and the chips were crispy, salty and fluffy inside. And the gherkins, as they always are, were delicious. All the food had a depth of flavour and the beer complemented the arrangement nicely.
The service was attentive, although it was pretty much empty when I was there, which makes matters easier for all concerned. I can see why this restaurant is so well reviewed and I would be tempted to come back and try their hot dogs.
