Cute little restaurant with very friendly service. Both men were super friendly.
My husband and I tried a savory and a sweet crepe. Gluten-free, of course, because we'd read they were delicious. We can only confirm that; the crepes taste fluffy and heavenly.
It's worth a visit; if we ever come back to Genoa, we'll definitely eat another crepe there. ❤️ Simply a dream for those with celiac disease.
Extremely good restaurant also for celiacs: starters and main courses are prepared without using gluten. The location is fantastic and you will probably need to book in the summer. Prices are affordable.
Nice location, friendly staff. Pretty good food, except for the gluten-free pizza with a ready-made base (I wouldn't recommend it, get something else).. I expected much better given the AIC certification for several years.
Decent normal pizza
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
Very nice restaurant with outside tables overlooking a small square or the quieter inside area. AIC certified. Friendly staff. We had a gluten-free pizza and an octopus. The pizza wasn't bad, in fact the only thing was that the base was a bit disconnected from the topping, probably because being a frozen product it is first cooked in the oven and then filled (and then maybe put back in the oven for a moment) and therefore it gives more the idea of a topped focaccia, but overall it wasn't bad. The octopus was a bit overcooked and therefore was a bit rubbery, but the flavor was very good. For dessert we had a panna cotta and it was very good. Good coffee. In conclusion I would happily return.
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.
My favorite gluten free pizza!
For those like me who have an intolerance and have a rather sensitive stomach, there is nothing worse than the anxiety of feeling sick every time you go out for dinner (more than once I have gone to even prestigious or formal restaurants and come out knocked out)... At Vicolo, however, I play it safe. I am among the few in Genoa to have a really good, soft, light gluten-free dough; the ingredients are excellent, in short, pizza is a pleasant experience for me; the service is always up to par, the relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, the clean environment. Ours is now a fixed (almost) weekly appointment. Thank you!
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.
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

Super yum ham and cheese gluten free toasted sandwiches. We felt it was coeliac/celiac safe. Staff great, good coffee and we recommend the pistachio ice coffee, so yum!
I went with some friends because of the gluten-free (+4€) in the pizza dough. My pizza had raw dough, raw sauce, little cheese and tasteless courgettes... my friends had cheese focaccias which were very good but with childish portions, my boyfriend had a breaded cutlet (half raw ). The millefeuille dessert was good. We spent around 30 euros each, expensive for no reason.
Directly overlooking the port, this restaurant-pizzeria offers a simple but characterful menu. Typically Ligurian. Excellent gluten-free options, especially Baladin beer. Friendly staff and standard service. V
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!
Very nice and characteristic place, it seems like a little corner of peace. The food is very good and particular, with great attention to the needs and allergies of the diners (recommended for celiacs). The staff is very kind and is ready to treat the customer in the best possible way. Highly recommended!!
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.
Nice pizzeria, with tasty pizzas, located on a nice square. Plenty of space for guests both inside and outside. Each pizza can also be ordered as a gluten-free pizza. The prices are very reasonable. Recommended!
Absolutely not up to expectations. Beautiful place in the center of Genoa. Unfortunately for a celiac it is not possible to have breakfast. They do not have gluten free packaged foods.
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!!!
IF YOU ARE CELIAC GO SOMEWHERE, TRUST ME.
The place looks nice, but the food doesn't live up to expectations. I asked if there was a gluten-free alternative for the ramen (since it's the main dish you go to this restaurant for) and there wasn't, there are 4 gluten-free dishes and if you don't like them you make do... my boyfriend took the pork cutlet with curry, the pork was raw, he took some chicken nuggets, spoiler, that was also raw, I made do with 3 and I mean 3 small pieces octopus accompanied by 2 chopped cherry tomatoes and 8 tiny slices of seared tuna that had no taste, a water and a glass of wine that we didn't have the courage to finish, 47 euros. The end
Correct welcome without more, two dishes ordered:
1/ pasta with pesto not bad, and served within a reasonable time frame,
2/ gluten-free lasagna waited 30 minutes, and served not completely defrosted.
We therefore returned to the kitchen, and waited again for more than 10 minutes.
3/ Consequently, and having had no information, neither on the excessive initial waiting time, nor on the new wait, we had to negotiate in order to leave the premises after having nevertheless paid for the dishes actually consumed.
4/ Conclusion: bad overall experience, lack of information, feeling of being treated unfairly...
Quality of service to be perfected, problem of know-how and know-how...
But unfortunately this is becoming more and more common, in Italy as in France...
We had a reservation at 18.30. Due to a long traffic delay we couldn’t make that timing so we asked to postpone the reservation for 1 hour. It was no problem at all. The food was amazing, and the staff was very welcoming. He even had gluten free options when we asked. Great place to stay!
I have been frequenting "Indarsena" for decades, with the legendary Gagge... excellent coquillages, good and beautiful dishes also in terms of presentation... for those who have a passion like me for oysters & co it is excellent... even for those who don't have this passion, excellent because it offers other fish dishes always very good.. and the same goes for the desserts..
Plus it is organized for celiac disease... what more could you want?
Excellent food! Quality and flavours. Really friendly and helpful staff. Pay attention to special dietary needs. Choice for celiacs available (gluten free)
Celiac friendly
