Forse il miglior ristorante della città. Menù raffinato, presentato con gusto in un locale piacevolmente ricercato. Maitre molto presente e prodigo di consigli. Pesce freschissimo e preparato con creatività e rispetto; cruditè di mare imperdibili; ottima e originale carta dei vini, anche se non amplissima; pane e focaccia di grande bontà e generosamente offerti. Ottima pasticceria. Prezzo adeguato al livello del locale.

On our second, completely unplanned visit, Le Cicale in Città has undeniably established itself as one of Genoa's top seafood destinations. We returned almost instinctively, and it was a rewarding choice: a simply exceptional amberjack tartare, impeccable in its quality of ingredients, balanced seasoning, and crisp flavor. A simple, elegant dish that speaks of the sea with great precision. This was followed by a second course of equally high-quality fish, cooked with expert technique and rare sensitivity, where every element was perfectly placed. A decisive added value was the service: attentive, competent, and never intrusive, capable of accompanying the experience without weighing it down. But above all, we must mention Chef Costa, who personally presented the dishes to us: a gesture that is anything but predictable, conveying passion, awareness of his work, and respect for the customer. When the chef puts his face—and his words—on what arrives on the table, the perceived quality grows even further. What's striking, when you return, is the continuity of excellence: not a one-off success, but a clear and consistent approach, rigorously maintained. A relaxed atmosphere, great attention to detail, and that rare feeling of being in exactly the right place. Le Cicale in Città isn't just an excellent restaurant: it's a sure thing. And when a place impresses even more on a second visit, especially an unplanned one, it's truly hit the mark. Highly recommended.

One of the best places we've ever been to!!! The chef was very attentive and came out to explain the menu. We ate incredibly well. Ambient music would be a perfect complement to the place ❤️

The refined atmosphere was truly impressive. We dined here for lunch (we arrived well after our reservation time), a couple of us. Chef Matteo greeted us with great hospitality. The fish dishes we ate were beautifully prepared, as was the presentation (the fresh fish tartare and the seared scallop were truly exceptional). The first courses were equally impressive. You could taste the love for the cuisine. The prices were in line with the quality of the product and the service. It's worth stopping by.

I came here for a business lunch. The setting is undeniably sumptuous and high-end. As is the service... high-end, attentive, near-perfect. The chef presented us with the most interesting dishes with great attention to detail. We ordered a main course and a dessert. In my opinion, everything was exquisite, both in terms of the combinations, the quality of the ingredients, and the technique. If I really had to find a flaw... I'd say it's expensive, but I think that's acceptable.

Very good restaurant in the center of Genoa, the style and furnishings may not be for everyone but the substance is there both in the dishes (excellent quality and quantity) and in the staff (very attentive and precise in service). Price a little higher than average but absolutely in line with what the place offers

Definitely excellent, carefully prepared and refined dishes. Prices are high, but considering the quality, that's understandable.

Wonderful place. Not a big menu, but creative and delicious. Extraordinary service; it wasn’t busy, so chef personally came out to make recommendations. We had 3 courses each with my girlfriend, each one better than the next. The tiramisu is to die for. Highly recommended

Dirk Heilmann

A tastefully designed restaurant, managing just the right balance between stylish and cozy. Impeccable, and very friendly service. Outstanding food, and modern take on traditional Ligurian kitchen. We enjoyed our evening very much, and would love to come back.

We dined here for Valentine's Day. The menu was à la carte, and you could also choose from a few dishes created especially for the evening. A rose was placed on the table, and the very kind and knowledgeable staff brought out focaccia after each course. We had the lobster (€55) and other truly delicious dishes; everything was so generous, we unfortunately couldn't fit in dessert (€10). A great restaurant for special occasions, given that we paid around €180 in total, haha, but sometimes you can go a little outside the box! Perfect Valentine's Day!

Danilo Penati

Excellent restaurant in the center of Genoa near Piazza della Vittoria. Many Genoese specialties, including reinterpretations, are served. Prices are a bit high, but worth it.

One of the best table in Genoa

I had been interested in this restaurant for a while, and the chef explained and suggested each dish, so I was able to enjoy a delicious meal! Every dish, from the fusilli to the paccheri, was delicious, and the Ligurian cheese (washed in citric acid) was also delicious! I'll definitely come again!

Excellent service and delicious food. The chef explained the English menu and other specials to us patiently, and we tried the hammer jack on artichoke to follow on from a monk fish and stuffed lettuce appetiser . The ambience is perfect , with the ornate decor varying from room to room .

Excellent quality food, lovely romantic setting, loved the little dining rooms in English cottage style. A very special place to eat. Welcoming and warm personel who really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The chef speaks English and will personally come to your table to present the menu.

Excellent fish, very attentive service by the chef directly

I had already dined at this restaurant about a year and a half ago and was thrilled: carefully prepared dishes, balanced flavors, and an overall excellent experience. Unfortunately, my husband's birthday dinner turned out to be a huge disappointment. • Fritto misto: excessively greasy, difficult to enjoy. • Monkfish: so salty it was inedible, so much so that I had to send it back and receive an apology from the kitchen. • Fish soup: spectacularly presented in bread, but the contents were a blended cream without even a single piece of whole fish. • Scallops: served on a bed of cold broccoli, accompanied by unpleasant-tasting guanciale. A real shame, because I remembered this place as a benchmark for quality cuisine. This time, however, every dish fell short of expectations and ruined a special occasion.

This place was a disappointment, discovered with a fork, mediocre dishes sold at exaggerated prices, the risotto was one of the worst eaten in Milan and the portions of meat derisory. The darkness and the lights want to hide the mediocrity of the place. in particular I would like to focus on the high bill of poor quality food and even worse on the quantity
