Il Marin

"Situated at the old port, in the same building and on the same floor as Eataly, this restaurant is simple in style so that nothing detracts from the view through its floor-to-ceiling windows. The cuisine focuses on regional traditions while reinterpreting these with modern ideas and techniques. Examples include a “spaghetti Martini cocktail”, which is shaken at your table by the chef and made with Martini bitters and creamed olives flavoured with a misted extra virgin Taggiasca gin, and tortelli with a sauce made with fishheads, guts and bones and a pleasant hint of marjoram to add a final touch of flavour." - Michelin Inspector

"Dinner (and harbor lights) at Il Marin There are but few 'grocery stores' that live up to the title 'eatery'. Eataly, the Italian food market concept (headed up by Oscar Farinetti and Slow Food founder Carlo Petrini), certainly deserves all accolades poured upon it. With outposts throughout Italy, and now in Japan, the United States, and even Dubai , one can find delicious Italian delicacies in one's own back yard. But journey to the Eataly in Genoa , and enjoy a beautiful meal at the gourmet seafood restaurant Il Marin tucked within. With some of the most stunning views of the ancient Genovese harbor, and plates of innovative and impassioned food, you will leave impressed."

"Pesto If you have had pasta al pesto genovese (the delicious combination of fresh or dried pasta, potatoes, green beans, and pesto sauce) anywhere other than in Liguria, I challenge you to come to Il Marin for chef Enrico Panero's play on the Italian staple. Tucking pesto (made from the basil of Bra) into hand-folded tortellini, placing them gently on a bed of mashed potatoes, and bathing it all in a buttery glaze, you just might never go back to any bottled pesto again. Come after sunset so that you can enjoy your dinner with a bottle of Colline di Levanto DOC and the twinkling lights of the ancient Genoa harbor."
