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
Excellent restaurant, near the old port, with traditional dishes and more. Many gluten-free options (and I'm not talking about the usual salad or steak, which are already gluten-free, I'm talking about pizzas, traditional first courses including trofie with pesto, or casonsei with walnut sauce, pizzas, second courses and desserts). I highly recommend the trofie with octopus and taggiasca olives, which I really liked.
Really satisfied, we arrived in Genoa and we didn't know where to go, we found a nice place, the place isn't the best but it's fine, very kind staff but the pizza really good, highly recommended for gluten-free, the only thing my wife told me good but a little low, but that's okay😉
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.
Splendid panorama from the veranda, excellent food with excellent gluten-free pizza, we would also like the gluten-free focaccia type recco!
Attentive, quick and efficient service.
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.
Very nice and welcoming restaurant, the area is very convenient and accessible precisely because it is in front of the San Giorgio metro stop.
The staff is very friendly and kind.
The meatballs were delicious and plated very well.
There are also many lactose-free and gluten-free variants.
Advise!!
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

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!
Extremely positive experience. Welcoming and kind staff, as well as attentive to the customer. very interesting menu with very carefully prepared dishes. Right portions.
Also recommended for celiacs.
I will definitely come back
Excellent, I highly recommend it. Dinner based on typical dishes, really good and above all fresh.
It also has several gluten free options for those like me who have celiac disease, very kind and welcoming staff
Highly recommended!!
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.
We went to this restaurant for a family lunch.
We had a good time, good quality food and friendly staff.
Average prices
Availability of gluten free products
The view is very beautiful both inside the restaurant and on the square outside.
I definitely recommend it
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
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!
Very beautiful location, exceptional food and impeccable service. What more could you want? We stopped here by chance, looking for a restaurant that had gluten-free options. The boy welcomed us immediately, with such kindness and professionalism, even taking care to bring a small bowl of water for the dogs we had. Abundant quantities and top quality, from starters to desserts.
Friendliness of the 6 star staff. Congratulations!👏 Highly recommended for those who want to spend the right amount, eat WELL and enjoy a beautiful location with a subsequent walk along the cliff.
Lovely restaurant on a narrow walking street with a few tables outside and more inside. Yummy gluten and dairy free pasta. Unfortunately only crackers for gluten free bread.
I went with my boyfriend without knowing the place and for our surprise they gave us a beautiful private table. The food was excellent, not to mention the incredible and delicious pesto.
The waitress was so so nice, and he had full knowledge about celiac desease.
The restaurant has also amazing gluten free options :)
The wine was perfect too.
It is a MUST if you are traveling in Genoa!!!
Excellent food and service. We enjoyed the four course fixed menu and they easily changed my plates to be gluten free. Friendly staff and nothing was a hassle. Excellent food quality and great value for money. Highly recommended for gluten free needs.
Excellent food! Quality and flavours. Really friendly and helpful staff. Pay attention to special dietary needs. Choice for celiacs available (gluten free)
Celiac friendly
