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.

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...💯🤩🙏🙏

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.

I don't give 5 stars many often but nowadays you can't eat as good as her in many place. Good price. Good atmosphere. Great food. A "must go" place.

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

Forget about the Pesto you ate before… Food: The food overall was very good. The Pesto was the best one I had until now! The Latte Dolce Fritto was also delicious. Definitely worth the visit. The Atmosphere: Traditional Osteria vibes. I must say that the staff was very nice and helpful. I was eating here alone at rush hour, but never felt rushed to finish. Food ordered: - Mandilli al Pesto - Latte dolce fritto

Do not come here for pasta!!! “Shrek’s” pasta was overcooked, watery with very minimal pesto taste. Service was good, atmosphere cute, but when you’re unhappy about the food, the whole experience goes mehhh
