Just had lunch at Zena Zuena with friends. Very kind staff, varied menu, various vegetarian and gluten-free options. We'll be back! Thanks to all the staff for their hospitality and professionalism
Strategic place on the Genoa pier, very good but quite expensive pizza. Especially the gluten-free menu (1/3 of the menu for everyone) is scarce and very expensive... but as usual celiacs always pay more in money and taste of food.
It would be nice to have the exact same menu also available in the gluten-free version given the price paid.
What more could you want, a typical Genoese trattoria, on the sea, plentiful dishes, cheap price, and delicious food. They also do gluten-free. Friendly and kind staff.. everything was excellent.. from the starter to the dessert. A fantastic day.. we left there full and happy with the excellent food.. we will definitely be back..
We have known the Donne del Vino association for a few years and given the positive experience of the previous time we decided to repeat the evening in Recco. The reference winery of the evening was Tenuta Carretta of the Miroglio family.
We ate two starters: a very good sea bass tartare and the excellent focaccia from Recco, all paired with Alta Langa.
First, pansotti with walnut sauce, while second, "Ciupin" (typical Ligurian fish soup) with Canorei.
To finish we tasted an excellent dark chocolate dessert combined with Carretta's Moscato d'Asti.
Super organized for gluten. Very good and kind Paola (and obviously all her staff!)
Unfortunately disappointing experience in this tavern. Young waiters, okay, but inexperienced; they brought the first courses before the appetizers, the wine arrived a quarter of an hour after the glasses, with the meal almost over. The gluten free option is appreciated, however there is a lack of vegan options (as a lactose intolerant I found milk and derivatives in almost all the fish-based dishes). Pleasant environment, in a basement room inside a historic building, dominated by an imposing vault. Average prices, but decidedly high considering the service. Poor wine list, with a poor choice of Ligurian wines, of which only one red can be ordered by the glass and this was absolutely not worth the price.
I had a great time. Menu only for celiacs. Well done. The problem transformed into an opportunity. Compliments. Excellent food. I'll be back as soon as possible.
I have celiac disease and here you can get almost the entire menu adapted for us and made on the spot. Since I discovered it, I go out to eat 3/4 times a month. Be patient when they are full of people. If you don't have time to have a quiet lunch, it's not for you.
100% recommendable. The pasta is very good. The service is very attentive and friendly. The place is very well decorated. My wife is gluten free and there is a good variety of pasta of very good quality and very tasty. I would come back here many more times.
An excellent restaurant, with both meat and fish options, with a spectacular terrace overlooking the sea!
The strong point of the place is certainly the terrace which overlooks the sea, giving lunches and dinners a suggestive atmosphere!
Offered the possibility of adapting starters, side dishes and main courses to make them gluten-free, gluten-free crackers also available!
The team were incredibly helpful for Gluten free. Many options across pasta, focaccia and antipasti & secondi. Also Gluten Free beer.
The water and boats surrounds made it a very nice outdoor eating experience.
First time at this pizzeria last night! Amazing pizza to say the least!!!!! Excellent dough, fresh and quality ingredients. Even the gluten-free pizza is top! Very careful about gluten free! Friendly and helpful staff.
We will definitely be back!
A beautiful discovery!!
Always a surprise.
I have been coming to this place for years, the food is always fresh and well prepared.
Everything excellent and gluten free available.
Good choice ! Nice story !
When they say: "a name, a guarantee".
Here is a clear example.
And with this I could also stop here but I continue to strongly recommend everyone, not only "foreigners" but above all Genoese people, to visit this lovely place in the Porto Antico area, right in front of the former fish market.
This too is a good choice.
"Family" managed but no less professional, "Da licki gli mustache" is a very pleasant experience.
Cozy, well furnished, with attention to detail and very clean.
It offers "home cooking" with typically Ligurian dishes with a look at more modern recipes for both meat and fish and where even celiacs will be satisfied.
The menu tells a beautiful story: that of the cook Vanessa, owner of the restaurant since 2017 together with her husband Andrea, and of her love for cooking and home recipes since she was a child. Dishes prepared with love and attention ranging from a selection of captivating appetizers - special mention to the Fassona Cheesecake and Cappon Magro - to first courses, fish or typically Genoese ones with pesto or walnut sauce. Among the second courses, excellent quality of meat with perfect cooking, Stockfish del Baffo that you would never finish eating and Snails alla Verazzina, an ancient recipe from Borgio Verezzi. The anchovy rolls were also delicious and reminded me of Sicily... the region of origin of Vanessa's family.
Every day three or four dishes are off the menu such as a superb Ligurian rabbit, very fresh grilled or Ligurian fish, artichokes when in season are offered fried "in rounds" and not in wedges.
Don't joke about desserts either...you will be spoiled for choice.
The wine list is not extensive but complete and a house wine is up to the task.
The bill? Excellent quality/cost ratio, a pleasant surprise too.
Congratulations to Vanessa and thanks to Andrea for his kind welcome and his kind service in the room.
Well done, keep it up
This place is amazing! You can feel they put love into details, I ordered a gluten free pasta with carbonara, so well cooked and healthier than normal! Will definitely come back soon :-) so many nice desserts to choose from! HEAVEN
I rediscovered this pizzeria after years and I must say that it did not disappoint me.
Pleasant environment, very kind staff.
The pizzas are delicious, light and well garnished. I would add that even the pizzas for gluten intolerants are excellent, tasty and above all well cooked and crunchy.
Super paccheri with squid sauce!!
I highly recommend this restaurant/pizzeria
Congratulations to everyone!!!!
I was recently lucky enough to dine at this seafood restaurant, opting for the five-course tasting menu, and I have to say it was a fantastic experience!
Each dish was a delicious surprise, with the freshest ingredients and presentations that were almost too pretty to eat.
The service was exceptional: the waiters were incredibly friendly and always ready to help, making the atmosphere welcoming and relaxing. They were able to advise us perfectly and were attentive to every detail, without ever being intrusive. They were especially very attentive towards my wife who, as a celiac, cannot eat anything that contains gluten.
Bottom line, everything was just perfect. If you are looking for a place to enjoy amazing seafood and feel pampered from start to finish, this restaurant is a must try. I can't wait to go back!
