"Ho assaggiato il panino con il pollo fritto, che dire non ce paragone con i classici e più famosi street food, qui la qualità degli ingredienti si sente ad ogni morso, anche le salse ottime e artigianali, da provare assolutamente"

"Possibly one of the best chicken burgers I’ve ever had! The chicken is perfectly breaded on the outside (crispy chicken burger), meaning that it’s gorgeously crispy on the outside and incredibly succulent on the inside. I don’t ever write reviews, but I passed this restaurant daily during a 6-week work trip to Genova and it deserves more praise. The woman who took my order was incredibly sweet each time I ordered in my mixture of french/Italian/Spanish. (A little side note, I’d post some photos of your dishes on your Instagram or website!)"

"Comperato per la prima volta. Mai mangiato un pollo così buono, come sapore, cotto alla perfezione, morbidissimo. Assieme a verdure sia crude che cotte, che dire normalissime buone. Un pollo da dieci e lode, ancora più buono per il fatto che a genova non ci sono quasi alternative."

"We came two nights in a row. Delicious food that feels like the one made for a family meal. We wanted to stay more time in Genova just to have the occasion to taste all the menu."
