With socially-distanced tables laid out in the piazza in front of the handsome Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, Osteria Le Colonne serves well-presented Italian food with a view. The menu mixes classic and unusual dishes, such as a prawns and courgette spelt salad (pictured below). Selecting one of the latter can be a tad risky. But for a first course and just 10 euros, the cannelloni filled with spinach and ricotta cheese and accompanied by walnuts (pictured above) is a bit special. The waiters are friendly and talkative, helping to justify the punchy cover charge. Although it is a little pricey by Genoa's standards, Osteria Le Colonne is a memorable and enjoyable place to eat. 8/10
