In Genoa, the main station is called Genova Piazza Principe, from where you can walk to Piazza Raffaele de Ferrari in 20 minutes on foot along the port.

I advise you to leave Milan by the morning train at 08:10, 08:30 or 09:10 in order to be in time for Genoa by dinner.

Remember that lunch in Italian restaurants is scheduled from 12:00 to 14:30.
