Don't be fooled by the poor exterior.. well, and interior - the sandwiches are great! The guy that works there is super nice, willing to make you try different cheeses and prosciuttos before you make up your mind! Always a line, but with a reason!

Highly recommended! The taste of these sandwiches is really good. I had a lovely lunch, great atmosphere too.

The taste of these sandwiches are reaaaally good, and in Genova everybody knows Grand Ristoro, because thier products are italian and fresh. you must go to it, basically I assure you will enjoy his italian sandwiches. By the way the price is very low, for example 2 euros more or less. Try it and judge it!

Took a day trip to Genoa & decided to find Gran Ristoro after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor. From the outside it had the look & feel of the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld. That couldn't be furthur from the truth. The gentleman behind the counter was very kind & patient with us tourists that speak a limited amount of Italian.... More

The first time I walked past this shop, there was a long queue. Later, I read this review and decided to buy a sandwich to go for my train ride. I am not familiar with all the italian meats etc. the friendly guy behind the counter recommended some fillings for the sanwich, which was pretty good.

The principle is simple: you choose the filling, they make the sandwich. But here is where the whole experience starts as there is SO much chice of different meats, cheeses, fillings. We're not genovese, not even Italian but we know our pecorino from our parmigiano and still found it a challenge to choos the best. Solution ? Ask the person... More

Since 30 years ago this place has been a classic for an Italian fast food choice in the very heart of the city. The widest variety of different real Panini fillings (sandwiches), one choice of bread (typical "papera"), a drink: the best basic option for a quick bite. Since some years many copycats appeared in the area and around the... More

I would not bother adding to the chorus of acclaim for this tiny sandwich shop, where you can choose between, for example, five different kinds of wild boar (cinghiale) all displayed before your eyes, except I thought it worth saying how friendly I found this place. If there is anywhere that ought to be impatient with tourists and our twelve... More
