Unige and AFAM students can access university canteens in Genova and Savona using the ‘Aliseo Risto’ app.
Instructions for downloading and activating the app can be found at the following link.

Please note that in order to download the app, you must have completed your enrolment and have your student ID number.
Unige students receive their student ID number directly from the University.
AFAM students (only and exclusively AFAM students!) are assigned their student ID number by Aliseo. AFAM students who have applied for a scholarship already have one. Otherwise, you must send an email to ristorazione@aliseo.liguria.it .

Without the “Aliseo Risto” app, you can still eat at the canteens by identifying yourself with your Unige virtual badge, but you will pay the maximum amount, i.e. €8.00 for a full meal and €6.50 for a reduced meal.

All other users affiliated with or authorised by Aliseo must identify themselves at the canteen cash desks.

First of all, please note that you can eat in hospital canteens ONLY if you are a student enrolled at the School of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and are attending a course or internship at one of the hospitals that has a canteen affiliated with Aliseo.

In order to eat in these canteens, you need the ‘Aliseo buoni pasto cartacei’ (Aliseo paper meal vouchers), which you can request by sending an email to ristorazione@aliseo.liguria.it.
Please refer to this link for the application procedure.

The cost of a meal varies depending on the tariff band.

The tariff varies depending on whether you are, for example: a scholarship student; an international exchange student; a student “outside the bracket”, i.e. who does not meet the requirements for ISEE/ISEEUP-based subsidised rate…

With the publication of the final ranking, students who have been awarded scholarships will automatically be placed in the ‘Studenti borsisti’ (‘Aliseo scholarship students’) tariff band (first meal free and second meal of the day at a cost of €2.50).
