Il Marin, Ristoro del Porto Antico, is the gourmet restaurant of Eataly Genova completely dedicated to the sea. It is accessed from the pedestrian area in front of the quay with its characteristic sail installations. The restaurant is large and airy, with parquet floors, an open kitchen and spectacular panoramic windows overlooking the Old Port and the city. At the entrance, the scenic aeroponic greenhouse stands out from which the kitchen is served directly.

All dishes are prepared with balance and intelligence, with an eye to sustainability and with the use of uncompromising quality and freshness ingredients. Do you want to post your comment?
