The Cook al Cavo

Genoa


Admire the exquisite 17th-century frescoes of Bernardo Strozzi while dining on exquisitely prepared cuisine inside this spectacular dining room encased in an old Doria palace. For somewhere so elegantly storied, staff are friendly and welcoming, and the Michelin-starred cooking is top notch.

Start off with flavour-packed bouillabaisse or decadent foie gras before moving on to tortelli (a filled pasta) with duck and a cream of toasted pine nuts or dentice (a delicate Mediterranean fish) with artichokes.
