November 15, 2019 Janette Largent

Discover Restaurants offering the best Seafood food in Genoa, Liguria, Italy. Wandering the narrow caruggi alleyways of Genoa is a bit like solving a medieval labyrinth. In the heart of the Italian port city lies Piazza de Ferrari, a main square with a beautiful fountain and a perimeter lined with historic buildings, including the Palace of the Doges the Teatro Carlo Felice, which was destroyed during WWII and subsequently rebuilt. The seaside neighborhood of Boccadasse is vision of pink and yellow buildings that brighten up this lovely fishing village.

I've been here many times for lunch and dinner during a time working at the port, all dishes are interesting and any kind u feel having, reasonable prices, good artisanal beers, if I can leave a suggestion, as many times I've to do in Italy, would be that medium-rare steak doesn't mean "1 minute seared per side"thank you so much for the great review we hope to see you soonal marmo staff

Zimino

Reviewed By Anfrist

I imagine that providing people food from behind the counter each day is a real achievement when they are so interested and thankful. Because food at Zimino makes you feel this way, it's all about the food and the people, everything else is disposable. We had 3 dishes, took them to our rented apartment nearby and greatly enjoyed them. It does not even matter what dishes you pick, we tasted more. Very good prices.

Antica Osteria Ravecca

Reviewed By dg1959201

We saved this for our last night in the hope of something special.It got of to a good start but after we had ordered my wife was told that her fish was not available. In fact, a significant proportion of the fairly limited menu was not available.But it really came of the rails when a table for 14 was set up next to us.The party was very noisy, as would be expected but they also wanted the door open as they were hot. We finished our main course in a howling draft and left without dessert.We spoke to the staff at every stage but they took no action.Gentile cliente è un peccato che scriva una recensione così misera e priva di realtà In un ristorante non si può pretendere di essere gli unici in una sala ...sua moglie ha dimostrato ripetutamente difficoltà a cenare, ha lamentato il menù ha lamentato l’aria condizionata , ha lamentato la porta aperta e per ultimo ha lamentato una tavolata di 14 adulti molto educati di fronte a voi...ciò nonostante l’abbiamo spostata in un altro tavolo e non le andava bene comunque...Descritto la sua serata le dico vivamente che siete stati ospiti estremamente difficili e mi spiace che siate capitati nel nostro ristoranteNoi siamo tutti i giorni pronti a servire i clienti ma non siamo pronti a servire clienti capricciosi e indisposti col pubblico...TeresitaTitolare antica osteria ravecca

Some of the best food we have had in Italy, soft flavours and good presentation, no gimmicks or fireworks; the chef allows the freshness and preparation to speak for themselves. Good wines and service plus a pear and chocolate tart to die for!!

This place serves some of the best oysters I’ve ever had! Fresh, diverse and delicious!It’s located on the marina close to the old city and the aquarium and offers inside and outside seating.The hosts are very welcoming and friendly, and speak English very well (at least our lovely and friendly waitress did). We already booked for our next visit. Make sure to reserve a place as it gets very busy.

Da Leccarsi i Baffi

Reviewed By Origami_kid

Not exactly the nicest location, but once inside that doesn’t really matter. Menu is heavily seafood weighted, but struck me as the food the chef might cook for her own family. No fancy arty whoosh of sauce on an empty plate here. Just good honest food. Quite small so reserve or get in early ahead of the rush. Excellent value. A solid 4.5

I spent the last night of my holiday at Arcani. Met all the delightful staff - Rodriguez and Alessi-and sat in the most exquisite dining room. Intimate and cosy but not cramped. The choice of fish meals is very wide and I can’t remember the names of the various delicious courses because I may have had a second glass of wonderful white Piemonte wine! The service was personal and attentive and even included a free antipasti! Thank you guys for a super ending to my holiday ❤️Good evening! Thank you for the review! We hope to see you again when you come back to Genova!Goodbye Esther!

No wonder this is ranked 2 in Genoa among 1700 or so restaurants. It really is excellent. Friendly service throughout and they regularly check on the diners to make sure everything is ok. A nice postcard as s gift when leaving is a nice touch.The food... outstanding! Really is. Follow recommendations is a good start. The focaccia they serve is the best I’ve ever had. We got our 3 kids the ravioli and everyone loved it. The grilled octopus is amazing. We were too full for desert which is rare for our family! But I imagine it would also have been very good. Next time in Genoa I’ll be back.Be sure to reserve... we send them s message on their webpage and got a reply quickly.

Italian cuisine with a great selection of wines. Elegant and hospitable environment with warm and modern tones. We have a private room for dinners or business meetings.

Had great expectations given the positive reviews but nothing from food to service or ambiance really surprised me given the bill. May be just an unlucky night. Hello and thanks for the review.I'm really sorry that the expectations weren't met.We keep the prices under control but we are not a cheap restaurant and we are very careful about the success of the dinner.Unfortunately, when you eat raw fish and wine from important bottles, you can't have cheap prices.But I treasure your considerations and hope to see you again to make you think again.See you soon.
