Superb experience with delicious gluten-free pancakes in a charming, cozy atmosphere and a top-notch team

ANDREA MONTI

The place is very well kept, quite elegant and the waiters are friendly. They offer a complete gluten-free mune for celiac.

Excellent with gluten-free cooking

Rosa J. Pintus

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.

Giada Ratto

The best gluten-free sandwich in all of Genoa! So much friendliness, kindness and cleanliness: I really recommend!

Mara Fossati

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

Claudia Fradel

Excellent gluten-free pizza, we enjoyed it! Kind and pleasant staff. The terrace is a plus for being in the summer mood!

Michele illuzzi

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.

Antonella Semino

I was here for a snack, delicious and cheap tigelle, the lady who served me was super cheerful, I don't remember her name but I know she is of Colombian origin, in addition to the good food we also had a nice chat where she told me a little his story, I was almost moved, I will definitely return and I recommend everyone to try their tigelle, one last thing they also make tigelle for celiacs

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.

The ice cream in this shop is labeled as containing no gluten coloring or artificial flavors. There are many styles to choose from. They are smooth and delicious, but the price is a bit expensive.

Giulia Ch

Excellent restaurant and pizzeria offering many different options suitable for all needs. The pizzas, with excellent quality ingredients, are made in three different formats (the peel one is highly recommended!), and several gluten-free ones are also available. The restaurant menu is very varied, and offers the possibility of dining with meat or first courses. The staff is very courteous and attentive to customer requests; the venue has several rooms and is therefore also suitable for large groups. If you are looking for a place to dine in the heart of the historic center that can satisfy everyone, you will not be disappointed here!

Marco Bisconti

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😉

Angela Bostan

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.

Giovanni Crespi

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.

Matteo Lo Monaco

for gluten free tooop

Silvia Manipura (Silvia.78)

Fresh fish, excellent quality, delicious everything and all GLUTEN FREE. SUPER RECOMMENDED.

Vale V Vegan

welcoming place, extremely clean and very efficient and kind staff, but the highlight are the pizzas, choice between 4 types of dough plus gluten-free, furthermore for Vegans and intolerants there is vegetable cheese which can be put on each pizza without surcharge!! and the prices are very honest, without lacking in quality 👍 so much so that I was amazed at the bill 😳 €16 for pizza, farinata, medium beer and cover charge 🔝 I highly recommend it ☺️🫶

Jesse Francisco

Best restaurant we ate at on our honeymoon in Italy. The pasta was expertly prepared. I had the cod ravioli with butter and chives, and she had the gluten free pasta with walnut filling.. she literally cried with joy. The main dishes of the seafood stew and the rabbit were both excellent. It was delightful to try traditional cuisines from the area. We really felt like we were eating regional dishes that had heart and soul put into them. The owner was conversing with people at each table and you could tell he's very passionate about serving quality food. Amazing dining experience.

Gianni Pitzolu

Excellent service, very good pizza with dough also for celiacs made by them not to mention the first and second courses

Martina Moretti

I waited a long time to write this review, because I am a regular customer and I understand that a bad night can happen, but when the months go by and the level gets lower and lower, then there must be something wrong. Burnt pizzas, raw pizzas, missing ingredients, pizzas not cut when required out of necessity, gluten-free dough more like mush than pizza, dough that they make you drink all day. It's a real shame because they have always been punctual, but now the quality of the past is only a vague memory

Black Shark

I already knew this pizzeria and in fact I went back. You can choose between various environments, I recommend staying inside where we find an elegant and pleasant environment. The pizza is delicious and also available for celiacs. The service excellent. The central location and close to car parks make it easily accessible.

Agustin Taub

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.

Bruno Bruzzo

Dishes and pizzas for celiacs

Michelle

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!!

Bianca Guareschi

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 💥💥💥

Elena Vitello

Excellent gluten-free burger. My son today said it was super!!!

Mario

Small but mighty!!!! Here are a few tips: Tip 1: Here you can get very cheap, top quality pizzas Tip 2: Gluten-free pizzas also available Tip 3: Small restaurant with a lot of charm. There are also a few seats. Tip 4: There is no table service! Tip 5: The staff is very charming

Mariella Roveglia

I got the gluten-free Sicilian cannoli. Excellent.

Alida Nygaard

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!

Daniela Burri

We chose this restaurant because of the mention that they offer gluten-free pizza. When we got there, we asked briefly whether this was the case and we were told that they had gluten-free pizza on offer. We then chose two pizzas, but unfortunately the menu was only available in Italian and could not be translated, which made it difficult to find the pizzas. Please note that certain pizzas are delivered without tomato sauce, so the ham is placed directly on the dough. It's definitely a matter of taste, but it worked for us. The ham or the cuttings are freshly cut in one piece by the machine. Although the toilet was handicapped accessible, many of the dowels were already out of the wall, which is why I doubt anyone would be able to hold on to them. In general the whole ambience is ok. but I think we could make it out of it. Since we were so hungry we completely forgot to take a photo, but the pizzas look very appetizing and inviting.

Alberto Gentile

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

Enrico Rossi

Really excellent gluten-free pizza, expensive scrunchie but with quality products. Service to be reviewed; waiters who ask you if you have already booked, a glass of beer spilled and three wrong orders on a table are not up to par with the food

Alice Frascio

Very good thin gluten-free pizza, lots of seasoning

Melissa Grispino

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!!

Martina De Domenico

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.

Massimiliano Balostro

Very good pizza, friendly staff. Gluten-free pizza and beer also available

David Clark

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.

Sarah Porcu

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!!

One random Sunday evening you park in the basement near Colombo's house and search on Google for "typical Genoese cuisine". A thousand thousand red dots light up, all with at least 4 stars and dozens (hundreds!) of reviews. Ok, you can't go wrong, "ndo cojo cojo", it's starting to be 9pm and it's chilly, there's no need to go too far, so we'll stop here, after reading the menu on the notice board. We enter this mini maze of stairs and rooms (in the end there are 2 but there and then you get lost for a moment and Zena knows, make room where you can) and we sit down. In the meantime, a family from Bologna who they had met shortly before enters from the... er... window, also looking for a place to have dinner. Warm furnishings, almost in modernized poor art, which encourage conviviality. Out of the menu on a walking blackboard... Menu apparently printed with one of the first inkjets that didn't use sheets of paper with holes in the sides, but that's not certain. Dishes? Various, real and fairly typical, with a decent offer even for celiacs. Let's start with delicious fried artichokes, then I won't put a photo of the mandillos, which are culinary porpoise, together with a cod and a dessert each. Portions rather in line with modern taverns. Why not 5 stars then? -The tiramisu seemed without eggs, but with whipped cream and mascarpone. I like it but... I think many would object. The honest Neapolitan pastiera. -Friendly service but a little slow and imprecise - The toilets need to be revised. Absolutely. We would need a fix to the doors that squeak like the worst low-grade horror films and... Well they don't even close properly! Ventilation to be redone It wouldn't take much to....

Silvia Manipura (Silvia.78)

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.

Barbara

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

Sabina Matatov

Tasty food ,you have some gluten free options and that is very nice !

Zeynep M

Very attentive staff and delicious food. So many gluten free options!!

Sissa di loreto

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

Giulia Dazzi

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

Paola Albesano

I book for 6 and ask for a table near the window if possible, and I am satisfied! I have celiac disease, they tell me they have the dough, but they don't guarantee non-contamination, a comment I really appreciate so I know what to do. My fellow diners get pizza, I get octopus with potatoes. The pizzas arrive but not my dish, when the others, tired of waiting, start eating the half-cold pizzas, my husband gets up to go and ask about my dish, they apologize and bring it to me shortly thereafter. Very good! And again to apologize they offer us the possibility of asking for new pizzas since they had eaten ours half cold, we take another pizza to share and it arrives immediately and after a while they also bring me a sort of gluten-free pizza, "guaranteed" so the I eat it and in fact I share it because it was very good. Moral live Moromare, well done and even if they made us wait they were able to make amends, which is not to be taken for granted, especially in Genoa! So I will more than willingly go back!

elisabetta medda

It also has the you can eat formula, abundant, varied, good food You can also eat gluten-free so I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that all the super delicious dishes (fries) are not offered gluten-free. Sin !

Pietro Marchi

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!

Martina Tarda

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.
