Da Giacomo In Genova

We visited this restaurant on Sunday, April 19, 2026, as a group of six friends at 1:30 PM. The maître d' recommended the dishes, and we were guided through an experience that left us completely satisfied. The restaurant is located on the Genoa waterfront, with parking for about 20 cars. The exterior is "improveable," surrounded by a construction site and dilapidated buildings... (I imagine it's not their fault, given the care with which the place is managed). The six of us were quickly seated at a round table, and a kind and attentive waiter immediately served us still and sparkling water, warm focaccia, and fragrant breadsticks. The photos don't do the exquisiteness of the dishes justice. Grilled octopus tentacles on a saffron potato cream, delicate, melt-in-the-mouth octopus. Each dish deserves a detailed description, with ingredients whose flavors blend perfectly, and compliments also for the plating. If I really had to find a flaw in all this attention to detail, where the lady who oversees the management of the place proved to be affable and helpful, the kindness of the "classic" can we offer 'coffee' at the end of the meal on a bill of this €335... for 3 menus of the day + 3 appetizers and 2 first courses... In the end we paid €65 each 😉 It would have been appreciated even for the manner alone, but we are in Liguria, not Brescia 😉😅 Attached are photos of everything we ate. At the end of the meal, with the coffees, we were offered the evening meat menu, which we will consider for a next visit. See you soon, Mara.

Excellent food. Mr. Roberto and all the staff were super friendly. We will be back.

A beautiful experience, a harmonious breath of Italy

Everything was superb... excellent appetizers and truly remarkable fish-based first courses... the number one in the area... charming and modern location... with convenient adjacent parking for customers... very kind staff and owner ready to satisfy your every need, Mr. Roberto very professional and super kind... Top quality!!!

Fantastic experience, elegant atmosphere, and super fresh fish. Roberto and the staff were incredibly kind. We'll definitely be back.

Roberto is the jewel in the crown of this restaurant. His kindness and politeness touched me. He was present and attentive to every little detail. We were treated with extreme kindness, and I'm happy to see that there are still people like him, dedicated to their work and to every need a customer may have. The dishes were superbly cooked, the fried food was not at all greasy, and the breadsticks, as well as the focaccia and bread, were unparalleled! Thank you for the wonderful evening; my family and I will remember it with great fondness! See you next time!!

I went to Da Giacomo with my boyfriend for our anniversary, and we were absolutely delighted. The atmosphere was perfect, the service was excellent, and we were very attentive throughout the dinner. The owner came by several times during the dinner to check on everything and to advise us on what to order. My boyfriend followed all of his advice and was truly thrilled. We ate the à la carte seafood dishes, which were truly excellent, incredibly fresh, and cooked to perfection. The fresh, made-to-order desserts were also excellent; even the homemade focaccia and breadsticks amazed us. I'm writing down the dishes we ordered so we can recommend them to anyone who might want to go: appetizers included ceviche made with the catch of the day and baby octopus in sauce, first course tagliolini with clams, bottarga, and ravioli di locale, desserts included passion fruit mousse, and apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Thanks to all the staff for making the evening perfect and unforgettable.
