Baiciotto In Chiavari

04/02/2026: I ate very well, the gnocchi with pesto are dreamy and highly recommended and then also the sweet focaccia

04/02/2026: I'm Spanish. I spent a day in Genoa and wandered around looking for an authentic Italian restaurant. After finding dozens of stalls selling paninis, pizzas, and sandwiches that didn't really appeal to me, I stumbled upon this truly authentic place. Unfortunately, I arrived at lunchtime in Spain, which is very late in Italy, and the kitchen was closed. But I was served by a very kind Francesca who treated me wonderfully. She helped me choose from the dishes they offered, and I had a delicious small anchovy pizza with quality ingredients, and a spinach quiche that she recommended. She added a touch of both salt and sweet. She helped me connect to the internet so I could buy my plane ticket, refilled my water bottle for the trip, and helped me find out some airport information. I will definitely return to this place when I go back to Genoa, and I hope to try the fresh pasta, but I just want to say that Francesca's service was the kind that makes you feel right at home. Being kind is one thing, but treating a foreigner who's had a stressful day of travel, with no internet connection, jet lag, and who doesn't speak Italian, as if she were family, is quite another. Francesca deserves a raise. She's an exceptional worker. Thank you very much.
