What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Les Rouges Cucina & Cocktails is lauded for its breathtaking ambiance within a historic palace and its excellent, creatively crafted cocktails at fair prices. While many praise the delicious food, friendly service, and unique setting, a few diners have noted that the facilities could be cleaner and that the lack of air conditioning can be an issue during hot weather.
"Great atmosphere in this bar with a very jazzy vibe. Good food and drink and most of all one of the best waiters we had the pleasure of meeting in Genoa."
Bruce Mateer
"Recommended!!!
Fantastic cocktail bar located in an old palace dating from 16th century. You would be hard pressed to fine such a stunning location anywhere else.
The lead up to the bar is as stunning as the bar itself.
This opened as a cocktail bar in 2013 by three brothers who grew up in Milan.
Lovely cocktails at great prices - €32 for 4 cocktails.
They also have a food menu.
Great friendly service."

Alternative city breaks: Genoa – restaurants, nightlife and shopping | Genoa holidays
Nearby Les Rouges is a well-regarded spot for apericena (the popular aperitivo-meets buffet dinner format). I washed down squid salad with potatoes and olives and great hunks of focaccia with anchovies, with the house aperitif. Les Rouges’ grand setting inside one of the city’s many Unesco-protected Rolli palaces presses home the fact that visitors can enjoy magnificent baroque interiors in Genoa’s bars and cafes as easily as in its many spectacular churches.

This bar – set in the crumbling beauty of the Imperial Palace, in the historic centre – was founded by three brothers in 2013. The attention to detail on the drinks menu is amazing, with well-thought-out ingredients going into each cocktail. They even ask you what kind of salt you want on the rim of your margarita – which is the must-order item here.
Where to Drink in Genoa
But at Bar Les Rouges, the three brothers who own the bar mix up one amazing margarita (They even come to your table asking you to sample which salt you want on the rim. Go for the smoked one, it’s perfection!). Housed in a dimly lit and slightly crumbling 16th-century palace, this is one of the most romantic spots in town—a perfect date night out.
What to see and do on a weekend break
For a greater spectacle, sip cocktails in the company of crumbling marble busts at Les Rouges (lesrouges.it), a clandestine salon on the first floor of Palazzo Imperiale. Made with local vermouth Asinello Corochinato, their Spritz Genovese pays homage to the city (£6).

I migliori cocktail bar e bar di Genova in Liguria
È uno di quei rari posti nei quali i fregi della storia cinquecentesca convivono con l’innovazione e la sperimentazione della proposta beverage; tra stucchi e panneggi questo locale sospeso nel tempo ospita una lista di cocktail signature e stagionali davvero di grande livello - menzione per lo Spritz Genovese, rivisitazione del classico drink con l’Asinello Corochinato, un vino bianco aromatizzato stile vermouth immancabile nell’aperitivo dei genovesi. Innestato nel centro storico signorile, Les Rouges ha nell’informalità e nella confidenzialità l’anima che lo rende contemporaneo in un contesto elegante e raffinato come quello di Palazzo Imperiale. Non solo cocktails, ma una proposta di cucina autentica che passa da snack realizzati con prodotti del territorio come le acciughe e il baccalà a piatti più strutturati come le lasagne al pesto o la Buridda, tipico guazzetto umido di calamari e pesci misti.

Guardarli destreggiarsi dietro il bancone è uno spettacolo ed ogni settimana propongono il Cocktail of the Week. Da bravi genovesi fanno un ottimo Brandacujun di stoccafisso (10) e golosi Ravioli di zucca (12).

Telling us about this new local cocktail frontier is Matteo Cagnolari, manager of Les Rouges, a Genoese institution in quality mixology. “I started working in hospitality in 2006, in Orlando, Florida, at Walt Disney World. That experience made me fall in love with the industry, and I followed that passion around the world.” In 2015, while working in a Michelin-starred restaurant in Copenhagen, he discovered Les Rouges and was very impressed by the place.
