Ombre Rosse - Genoa

We arrived unannounced and late in the evening at Ombré Rosse. Hungry and a bit impatient, we couldn’t have been met with friendlier and more helpful staff. The offered us drinks and some bread while we waited for a table in their lovely outdoor seating area, and checked up on us at regular intervals. Food was amazing. We can personally recommend the low temperature cooked beef medallion, which was for the lack of words exquisite! The servers wine recommendations of both red and white local wine hit the spot. We cannot recommend this place enough. It’s a must visit for anyone visiting Genoa.

Friendly service and authentic good food! Loved the ambience. It is extremely cozy. The fettuce al pesto was delicious.

This place has great food. The only problem I had was them not having an English menu. However the waitress did brought us the Italian English dictionary to help us making up our mind. She helped going over the menu trying to explain to the best possible. They don't have chicken or pizza so I get to try and taste something new : We ordered pork and octopus, which is pretty good we like it.

Beautiful ambiance and setting, cozy and romantic. We had the tagliere degustazione di torte salate, the baccalá and the filetto di maiale with mashed potatoes. The fish seemed a bit dry and the mashed potatoes were interestingly prepared with an outside crust. But all in all, a very nice place

Being a frequent traveller to Italy, I must say this was my worst culinary experience. As I cannot imagine the courses we had were prepared or approved by a professional chef, I think guests should be informed about this. I had the acciughe as a starter, which were simple pickled fishes from the glass, served with too many tasteless fried pieces of potato mash. All in all without any salt, spices or idea. The main was unfortunately not eatable: beef tartar served as a lump of minced meat lacking anything from salt to spices, served on a strange cookie-like crumble, some dried tomatoes, a tasteless white sauce on top (bechamel?! and some potato chips as well without any salt. All the dishes my wife and myself were ordering had the same hard to define greenish sauce painted over the plates. The service was not unfriendly but also could not save the impression. I got offered a beer upon my complaint. Apologies for the direct feedback, however I was really surprized to make such a low quality eating experience in the country with the best kitchenn in the world. The spot in the little green courtyard is very nice and I hope you can improve your dishes and services in the future!
