Cafè il Barbarossa In Genova

04/07/2025: 10!! Superlative and superior quality of raw material. Definitely recommended!!

18/06/2025: After some research we ended up at **Restaurant Duo**, a cozy and modernly decorated restaurant. We chose to sit outside, where the atmosphere was pleasant and the service very friendly. The waiter clearly did his best to give us a nice culinary evening. We both chose 2 à la carte dishes. As a starter we had the "Pansot in salsa di n..." - ravioli with a creamy fish sauce with oysters, full of flavor and nicely balanced - and the "Tortell riren di tuccu al burro e salvia", Tortellini a classic that was perfectly prepared. Both dishes were delicious! The homemade focaccia that was served with it was truly delicious and made for an excellent start to the evening. With a glass of local red wine, perhaps served a little too warm, but still very tasty, the evening seemed promising. Unfortunately, the main course was a bit disappointing. We both chose the "Galletto arrostito", which unfortunately was a bit too dry and grilled firmly. The sauce failed to surprise us, and the finish with only two tomatoes felt a bit sparse. An extra vegetable or potato garnish would certainly have upgraded the plate a bit more, especially considering the price of 22 euros. The seating comfort outside could also have been better: my chair was directly above a manhole cover with large openings, and the table turned out to be very wobbly. When we solved that with some napkins, I unfortunately unexpectedly sank through the rubber mat on the cover during dinner - almost with my face in the plate. Fortunately, we were able to laugh about it afterwards, but it was a bit inconvenient. In short, we enjoyed friendly service and a delicious starter, but the main course and the outdoor location left something to be desired. With a few minor adjustments, this experience could really be great.
