The perfect place for summer evenings!

Quite simply, this is Genoa's whisky temple, and without doubt one of the city's best cocktail bars! Whether you like it neat, Scotch, Irish, bourbon, or in a superb cocktail made by real specialists and enthusiasts, then go and spend a little time in this highly recommended Neat Whisky Bar, especially as the welcome and atmosphere are really top-notch. The premises are not very large, which gives the place that intimate bar feel that adds to its charm. Frankly, it's a must!

Cafhein, a coffee shop with a modern decor near Principe station, is the ideal place to wait for your train while nibbling on some sweet treats. As Via Balbi is home to a fine faculty and university accommodation, you'll come across students here all day long, taking a break or settling down with their computers to work. When it comes to hot drinks, you'll pay a little more than you would in a good old-fashioned café, but the choice is immense: it's a real paradise for lovers of golden lattes and flat whites.

Its incredible location makes it one of the most pleasant bars on the coast. Sitting on one of the three terraces on the roofs of the Verezzi houses, go there at aperitif time to enjoy the sunset and the view over the whole bay. This classy, chic and terribly romantic restaurant lends itself well to a romantic dinner, but unfortunately the a la carte prices can quickly rise. So it's best to go for a cocktail, choosing between the classics or some of the mixologists' latest creations.

A gourmet bar that offers more than just a coffee: a journey of flavors and aromas to discover its coffees. The results are exciting.

A selection of carefully selected coffees, followed during the roasting process to bring out the aromatic notes of the final product. Ideal for breakfast or a meal break with sandwich, pizza or focaccia.
