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.

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.
A wonderful restaurant. The gluten-free focaccia and focaccia pizza were truly incredible. The waitress was very friendly and funny. Highly recommended.
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
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

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.
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.
We ate fish and pizza, all good. It offers gluten-free dishes. The waiters are very kind, youthful and welcoming atmosphere. Located in the port square, perfect location.
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
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!
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.
for those who are celiac like me, unfortunately I do not recommend the place. I had warned by phone at the time of booking and at the time of ordering, advising me to take the seafood risotto. The dish was contaminated and I felt sick. At this point I would have preferred sincerity, offering me grilled fish. Contamination is a serious thing and it really makes you feel bad. the environment is nice
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

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.
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.
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
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.
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!

Cute little place with friendly service.
We came for breakfast because we'd read many good reviews about gluten-free options. Unfortunately, we were disappointed here. First, they said they had brioche and pizza, but then they only offered a gluten-free pizza margarita. That was a real shame, but I tried the pizza. On the plus side, it was protected from contamination by the plastic, but on the downside, it didn't look particularly appetizing. It tasted okay.
What I would like to highlight, however, is the reasonable price. My husband had a regular brioche, I had my pizza, two espressos, and a sparkling water for just €6.50.
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
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.
Clean, spacious place with parking
Gluten-free and lactose-free pizza cooked in a separate oven, very good.
Wide choice of pizzas, meats and platters.
Fast service, polite staff with a smile which certainly doesn't hurt.
Price normal
I had high expectations for this place, I booked days in advance and it partially met them.
there were two of us, the person with me took a pizza with normal dough with a high crust, good ingredients and pizza as well, I took the gluten-free option which costs a good 4 euros more, 4 euros, and I was given a flying saucer of dry dough that was sometimes rubbery, which costing 13 euros for the pizza + 4 of the addition seems like an abomination to me.
please make the gluten free option more palatable because it is inedible.
this was the disk in question:
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!!
Celiac friendly
