So I booked a table and I arrived and I didn't wait. At least one thing. We took 2 spaghetti allo scoglio, one gluten-free, pasta a bit soft, muscles and mussels not of quality and not very fresh. I eat them often and if I say so, trust me. There wasn't even a shrimp or a lobster but only clams all closed among other things. Then muscles, squid and calamari that I don't even like. A very small 250 ml bottle of wine just 1 and a half glasses per person, I'm not exaggerating, a bottle of sparkling water, a gluten-free cheesecake + 1 coffee and nothing else. Total €58 seems a bit excessive to me. Around 10:45 pm I asked if it was possible to have mussels alla marinara as a second course and they told me that the kitchen didn't make them anymore because they had to close and among other things they didn't even give me a receipt. Thinking back I would have asked but I paid and wanted to go to the bathroom right away. What can I say, there are definitely better places and also as for the staff, I found a nice young guy but the others gave the impression of not being very friendly once I tried to chat with them inside. I went looking for a good quality/price ratio since they did gluten-free food. Now that I know what it's like, I would never go there again. €60 and we didn't even take any second courses but only two first courses, water, 1 wine, a dessert, not 2! A coffee and total €60.
A wonderful restaurant. The gluten-free focaccia and focaccia pizza were truly incredible. The waitress was very friendly and funny. Highly recommended.
Had lunch to celebrate my daughter's communion, 16 of us.
High quality food, excellent preparation and presentation, both for the 'sea' and the 'land'.
Quiet, well-set-up and "scenographic" environment.
Excellent service, great attention to customer needs (celiac person above all).
Exquisite owners, friendliness, availability and welcome well above the Ligurian average 😆
Adequate price and respectful of what has just been written: experience, professionalism and quality are certainly not free and you can't expect them to be.
We will definitely return and recommend it to everyone.
Local in the Porto Antico of Genoa with homemade pasta, also in the gluten-free version. The restaurant has some seats both in the internal rooms and at the tables outside. However, booking is recommended. I ate some excellent Trofie with octopus with Taggiasca olives and cherry tomatoes and a very good SG mixed fried food
Super as always, excellent Neapolitan-style pizza and top service, a guarantee in Chiavari!
Quality ingredients, variety of desserts and drinks. They have gluten free and lactose free. Advised
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..

Pizza of the highest level for all types of palates and also gluten-free dough.
Restaurant with always fresh high-quality products of the Neapolitan tradition.
Everything very good even the service despite it being Saturday fast and professional.
We were passing through and ordered 2 gluten-free takeaway pizzas. Delicious and highly appreciated as they are thin, well filled and tasty. Often you find gluten-free dough that is thick, heavy, undercooked and therefore indigestible. And unlike other gluten-free pizzas, they are also good the next day.
Highly recommended. The pizza is delicious and the staff is super friendly. Gluten-free pizza is also available. However, reservations are recommended on weekends.
We had dinner here with friends, a really pleasant evening.
The incredibly fast service, the very tasty pizzas (full of selected quality food) were a bit reminiscent of Neapolitan pizza. My gluten-free dough was thin and with a low edge, really excellent and light (even though I chose a white pizza with 3 cherry tomatoes) this place is suitable for celiacs! I also ate the gluten-free dessert!
In short, a great gluten-free pizza!
We were all very satisfied!
The staff is kind and helpful
Correct quality-price ratio
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.
Despite being AIC, we detected a total unpreparedness of the staff and a lack of options regarding gluten-free nutrition.
Bread with gluten brought and crashed in the middle of the table (4 seats, very small).
Annoyed waitress who mixed up orders.
Semi-raw sausage, lack of ingredients in the grill.
All seasoned with long waiting times.
On the website the restaurant presents itself in a very different way, mentioning fresh homemade gluten-free pasta and presenting a menu dedicated to celiacs (then non-existent).
The only positive thing, one of the waiters was really very kind, so much so that he gave us a discount, apologizing and thanking us for our patience.
Generally we don't leave negative reviews, but based on our experience we advise people with celiac disease not to frequent the restaurant.
A sought-after place for its gluten-free options. Their specialty is obviously meatballs, served in all possible ways. The food is also very good, with a wide selection of typical Genoese dishes. The place is a bit crowded, but pleasant. The staff is kind and very attentive.
Excellent veggy choice even for celiacs!!!!
Delicious potato gnocchi with confit garlic and basil on a bed of roasted pepper puree, delicious veggy bun with chips, crazy raw veggy cheese cake and delicious veggy meringue with mango foam
💥💥💥
10 cum laude business lunch. I have celiac disease and they served me in an enchanting way by preparing a pizza for me as a substitute for bread (I will eat the rest at home this evening). Both the first and second courses and also the pizza bases are available. Impeccable service. friendly staff and excellent value for money
It was a very positive experience, from the welcome to the dessert and definitely to be recommended. We tried two appetizers, a first course (homemade pasta), a second course and a dessert (exceptional) and we liked everything. Most of the menu (and all the desserts!) was gluten-free and so my wife was spoiled for choice. There are also some vegetarian options. The portions were right and the price was adequate for the quality. The place also has a beautiful view of the sea and the owner was very friendly.
Amazing food! The freshly made pasta was wonderful, and they have great gluten-free options as well!
Went with a friend and we absolutely loved the atmosphere. Everyone in the staff was so sweet and patient with our terrible italian 😅 Would love to come back again if I'm ever in Genova, highly recommend!
A great discovery. A specific gluten-free menu suitable for celiacs. From appetizers to desserts. Highly recommended. They give you a bread basket with various snacks.
I would say prices are too high for focaccias. 15 euros for a gluten-free one, nothing exceptional among other things and 10 for a normal... burnt one. 2 I was each. for a place setting...with barely the essentials. Forget it..overrated.
An experience not to be repeated at all. I am in Recco and I am looking for a bakery that makes local gluten-free products. Asking for directions I find this bakery. I ask for two pieces of simple Recco focaccia and a pizza. The lady puts three small, horrible, frozen pieces in a bag and tells me the very economical cost of €21. Now I say, for €21 she could have heated it up for me.. I am not angry with the staff but with the system in general.
Very nice and welcoming restaurant, kind staff and above all very attentive to everyone's needs: it was the only place where my girlfriend found gluten-free alternatives, with pasta and dry side dishes specifically gluten free!
Recommended!
Absolutely recommended, very kind and attentive staff especially towards my celiac wife. Menu linked to the territory, refined dishes and presented with care. Informal atmosphere with comfortable tables. Only thing, out of three complete menus plus a bottle of Franciacorta, for a total of € 183, to offer, as usually happens, at least the two coffees, which instead we paid..
Very high quality food, trained and kind staff, we recommend trying the buttons with pesto and the shrimp, truffle and burrata gnocchi. Very prepared and attentive to gluten-free cooking.
Glutenfree Pizza was the best I had in 2,5 weeks of road trip through Italy. I'm still jellouse about that recipe and hope to cook it like them one day.
Very authentic and Italian atmosphere from what we experienced.
On December 28th I had dinner at your place, I was invited to the wedding of my friends Francesca and Alvaro... What a wonderful view of the spectacular Zena, your place is super welcoming, the dishes are excellent, I didn't find anything imperfect, the service was impeccable
Even though there were 70 of us, we all had dinner together and well, every course was hot, beautiful to look at and very tasty, at my table there was a friend of mine who is celiac, you were super attentive to her dishes, always beautiful to look at and good to eat as she said, your guys at the service were fast and attentive to please everyone... My heartfelt compliments, I will return and I will certainly advertise your place even if in my opinion you don't need it. You are wonderful.... bye from Danilo
Excellent service, food, and casual friendly atmosphere. Thank you to Rochelle and her team, ensuring I could enjoy gluten-free pasta (and pizza) with fresh pesto! If youreby the waterfront, pop in, they'll treat you right!
We've wanted to try this restaurant for a long time, but as we've never been to Genoa there's never been an opportunity. We were finally lucky enough to do it (and I say lucky because it was already sold out when we arrived!). As soon as you enter, you are embraced by warm colors and an extremely comfortable and familiar atmosphere, typical of REAL Italian restaurants, and we love this. The menu is well written and "fun" in the sense that it talks about history, has relevance, lots of offerings and at the same time entertains without being tacky. The only problem with this menu is that all the dishes offered are tempting, which makes it difficult to choose. However, as far as I'm concerned, Toni's anchovies were SPACE! Together with the panissa. I recommend the mixed appetizers if you want to try a bit of everything. As for the first courses, I think I have understood that there is this Raviolo in love which is the Faro dish of the house, unfortunately no longer available last night but it is there, for a little restaurant where everything is homemade and with love (which you can feel and see)
I also recommend the Mandilli with pesto, a real bomb of flavours. The fish is very good and of excellent quality, as is the skill with which all the dishes are prepared. Even fried foods are not wet and heavy. Possibility to also satisfy celiacs, they made us gluten-free spaghetti with clams, delicious!
Unfortunately we no longer had space for dessert, but I can tell you that the idea of having a coffee maker at the table is brilliant, and the coffee is delicious.
As for the service, here too it remains convivial but still very pleasant, it feels like entering a friend's house and immediately feeling at ease, and this is really nice. An extra smile was never missing during the evening and this is nice. Congratulations to everyone, I'll be back!
Takeaway pizzeria with a couple of tables inside for those who prefer to eat seated, they don't offer table service but they are really very kind and helpful.
Furthermore, they also have Gluten Free pizza, which is very valid and good, but also many other tasty pizzas with quality ingredients! Highly recommended!
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!
We visited this restaurant, but did not eat the pizza sitting at the table (but on the beach, a few minutes walk away). I must admit that, although the pizzeria was full, they served and brought us the pizzas within a few minutes and what's more they were really good, both the classic ones and the GLUTEN-FREE one that my girlfriend got. Soft in the dough, but slightly crunchy underneath, very tasty with refined ingredients and a very extensive menu.

Absolutely charming, if I could have given more than 5/5 I would! Freshly made gluten free ravioli, with pesto and shrimp was incredible. Fresh gluten free bread served at the table with olive oil, delicious starter, desert wonderful, and the host was so kind and friendly. Really made an effort to ensure I’d have a great meal eating as a coeliac - best dinner I had all week
Excellent food! Quality and flavours. Really friendly and helpful staff. Pay attention to special dietary needs. Choice for celiacs available (gluten free)
Celiac friendly
