I'm not surprised at all that this pasta tasted really homely and heart warming in more ways than one. And I've also never really ordered anything alla Genovese since I had always assumed that they were just another one of those tomato based concoctions which I may just dislike. I was wrong and it turned out that the sauce is based more on meat/onions/white wine/and some other minced and stewed vegetables. Tomatoes were used as well, but in a more sparing manner in comparison to the regular ragu types of sauces. I really couldn't taste much of the other vegetables to be honest, but the predominant white wine and meat flavors were rich in the stew like broth at the base of what I made out to be ricotta filled tortellinis. Piping hot.
Another reason for me to come back another time. Now if only they were more wallet friendly.....

Hmm... strange. Pasta alla Genovese is pesto based no?
It seems that the Neapolitan ones aren't.
