Antica Cantina I Tre Merli
Tucked in a historic stone cellar down an alley off Via Garibaldi, this intimate spot has some great wines accompanying dishes such as king prawns in tarragon sauce on black rice. There's a wide choice of Ligurian meat dishes, several of which require a minimum of two diners.

Antica Trattoria del Porto Maria
Classic Genoese cuisine such as seafood risotto, scampi in brandy, and pasta of all shapes and sizes doused with pesto is dished up at this little old port trattoria. Its green-and-white-checked tables are down a flight of steps in an old storeroom with low, vaulted ceilings.

I Tre Merli
Grander than its cantina counterpart, this portside restaurant is flanked by towering black-and-white-striped columns. Excellent Ligurian cuisine includes salted cod fritters, and veal stuffed with porcini mushrooms and potatoes. Otherwise, you can just have a glass of wine with wood-fired snacks such as focaccia col formaggio (Liguria's answer to cheese-on-toast).

Lupo
Inviting aromas of home cooking - cuttlefish in tomato sauce, ravioli in walnut sauce and homemade desserts - greet you at the door, as do owners who welcome you like they've known you forever. Lupo's wine list is outstanding, and its antiques and objets d'art such as cast-iron candelabras, a grandfather clock and black-and-white photographs suspended on wire strings create a refined yet relaxed ambience that make you want to find a quiet corner to curl up for a contented nap after a meal.

Mentelocale
Tuna with sesame and lime, tempura prawns and red chicken curry with apples feature at this fusion restaurant inside the Palazzo Ducale. Mentelocale's salads easily constitute a meal and come in a creative range of combinations using fresh local produce. The adjacent café, with funky designer furnishings, is a chic spot for a drink.

Pizzeria di Vico dei Biscotti
This cavernous place with marine-blue décor and mezzanine seating fills to the brim with locals tucking into a quattro stagione (four seasons) pizza and a beer or two.
