Tends toward crowded and noisy but at the same time very welcoming. Everyone, including the staff is there for the great food and fresh, warm bread. They offer some homemade specials you won't find elsewhere. The restaurant is tight and turnover and ordering is quick. It works well. We will be back when we are back in Genoa. Thoroughly enjoyable.

This is one of my favourite places to have lunch in Genova. It's located in the very center of the old town, it's pretty cheap (it's perfect for students and tourists as well) and they serve the most authentic italian food around. If you're a tourist this is def a place to visit. The fact it's always crowded with locals speaks for itself. They also cook their own bread and they serve it nice and warm with their dishes. Don't expect a "cool restaurant" though, Zimino is a take-away Trattoria with few tables. If you’re lucky enough you’ll find a place, otherwise you can wait few minutes or you can take your lunch away and enjoy your Trippe on the promenade of the old Port which is litterally 2 minutes away.

Buon appetito!

I imagine that providing people food from behind the counter each day is a real achievement when they are so interested and thankful. Because food at Zimino makes you feel this way, it's all about the food and the people, everything else is disposable. We had 3 dishes, took them to our rented apartment nearby and greatly enjoyed them. It does not even matter what dishes you pick, we tasted more. Very good prices.

Among dozen of Genova restaurants we ate at, Zimino will probably be the only one I'll remeber in a year or so.
Zimino is truly fantastic by its authenticity: like entering into a friend home with about 20 seats maximum, you order what you want at counter, looking at dishes prepared right in front of you and get served few minutes after.
Ultra simple dishes (fried seafood, mushrooms, minestrone, shrimps...) but so tasty and cheap (about 7€ per plate).
Loved that place, specially for lunch rather than dinner as more of a canteen place indeed.
Thanks a lot !
