Osteria di Vico Palla

A local friend recommended me here to try genovese food. Now, with the strong recommendations for the catch of the day, which was swordfish, i believe, i had to order it. The freshness of the meat was unquestionable, and the fillet had no bones showing clear quality. And the style was quite clear. They trust the fresh products they have so they don't feel the need to overcharge the taste buds with extra things. Perhaps not for all, but i did appreciate it quite a bit. A lovely introduction to the city i must say.

Incredible quality of ingredients, traditional Ligurian restaurant with mostly local people inside. Pasta w pesto and grilled seafood was amazing. Definitely must see in Genova. 60€ w everything for 2 people during lunch time. Reservation is required beforehand

Came to Genova for a couple of days and we fancied an authentic genovese restaurant, different, with real genovese dishes...Well ...ask a local!! And he told us to go to Osteria Vico Palla. What an amazing suggestion...a real genovese sent us to a real genovese restaurant. Portions are very generous ( unexpected in these days) and the quality, combination and freshness of the products top of the tops! Clearly we asked for fish dishes... each one more amazing, tasty and delicious than the previous! You feel and breath the passion, the family tradition and the honesty. We were the last to leave and the owner (secretly he told us his nickname was "el cubanito" when he lived for a few years in Miami...) had a family chat with us.. So if you are in Genova and you really want to live and experience a real piece of Genova... you must go to Osteria Vico Palla. I have not been written review for a long while now... but this place, the atmosphere, the real fresh a d excellent quality of the food could not be left untold and so I got inspired to share it with you... lovers of experiences that changes your life and mark your memories! Grateful there are still places like this where you feel part of the family and they treat you as such...💯🤩🙏🙏

The best restaurant in Genova the seafood is amazing and the fish pasta is very tasty i will definitely come back 👍🏻

Good food, but too expensive for what it is. I would go back just to have their cake for dessert, that was delicious. Service is great.

It was my first time trying the local Ligurian Cappon Magro. They have amazing Cappon Magro with good flavour. It was well plated too. The ravioli had a good flavour but too salty. Additional coperto and additional charge for water. Recommend a reservation if you are visiting as there were no tables available when I arrived.

The food was great, the main problem was that the menu wasn't translated, and the items on the website (that are translated) are mostly unavailable. Amongst the waiters only 1 speaks english. There's a big language problem for tourists, but it was worth it.

Amazing food and amazing staff! Highly recommend this restaurant if you come in Genoa.
