Hostaria Ducale In Genova

I dined here on December 19, 2025, with my husband and daughter. I would summarize the restaurant like this: 1) high-end cuisine, with refined and sophisticated dishes that are satisfying to the palate; 2) a relaxed and modern atmosphere, yet intimate and welcoming; 3) attentive and professional staff, never intrusive, and above all, capable of making you feel at ease with their genuine kindness; 4) the wine pairing is also excellent, expertly curated by the sommelier.

A superb restaurant with excellent cuisine, an exceptional wine list, and attentive staff. Pricey, but worth every penny. The evening was magical; we didn't regret it at all.

Spectacular! What else to say except great food, great service, perfect welcome! Thrilled!!!!

Excellent experience! I'd been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, and on Tuesday I finally made the decision, and it was worth it. High-level hospitality, a modern and characterful location. I chose the "Classics" tasting menu, the chef's most iconic dishes. I wanted to try something special, and my expectations were met. Warm whole wheat bread with olive oil was a delicious treat. Five high-quality courses. I particularly enjoyed the eel risotto, the truffle dessert, and the anchovies. Compliments to Chef Daniele. It's a shame he missed out on a star; it would have been well-deserved.

An incredible experience, original and tasty dishes, and a knowledgeable staff who, despite their modesty, were very humorous, kind, and attentive. Consider that I came here almost a year ago for my and my partner's anniversary, but, alas, I forgot to write the review you're reading today. Even after almost a year, I still think about this restaurant. The very fact that I still think about it after a year speaks volumes about the experience and the memories this place has left me with. I hope to return soon!

Dining here was truly a culinary experience. We ordered the muschio to start and the saltiness of the breading mixed with the earthiness of the mushroom and the tartness of porcino ketchup sauce was an explosion of flavors. Seriously order this, you won't regret it. We also enjoyed the light and airy parmesan foam on the mandilli di sea pesto dish, the sauce and crispiness of the fritto di mare and the warm and spicy crust on the guancia al cucchiaio. We finished with a truffle and white chocolate dessert which was the perfect mix of earthy and sweet. The bread was also amazing and the local white wine we had was the perfect compliment to our dishes. Servers were attentive but not overbearing. Highly recommend for a romantic night out in Genoa.

Dinner October 25, 2025 Restaurant in the center of Genoa, beautiful location, friendly and professional young staff, high-level table setting and service Gourmet cuisine with local dishes revisited and sublimely presented We opted for the 5-course tasting menu, the Classics, with a selection of cheeses. Everything was excellent, accompanied by a bottle of Mosnel Franciacorta and two glasses of late harvest wine. Good wine list I recommend it.

We arrived late at this restaurant due to the long drive and traffic, but upon our arrival we were greeted with graciousness and courtesy. The staff were friendly, smiling, and attentive throughout the entire meal. The cuisine is innovative, with interesting combinations of ingredients. Each dish was tasty and expertly prepared. You could tell the chef, despite his youth, knows his stuff. Highly recommended for those who appreciate gourmet cuisine. Hugs from Sardinia.

We chose this restaurant for an intimate reception following a private ceremony, and we couldn't have made a better choice! The owner was incredibly accommodating from the start, reserving the entire venue for us and accommodating all our requests. The menu, coordinated with the chef, truly satisfied, amazed, and even entertained our guests with sublime dishes. From the bread to the wine, everything was of excellent quality. A special thank you to Valentina, who, with empathy, kindness, and professionalism, organized the room exactly to our needs. An experience we'll repeat every time we return to Genoa!

I had lunch at Hostaria Ducale in Genoa and it was a truly Michelin-starred experience. The tasting menu is perfectly balanced and refined: each course showcases a precise idea, meticulous technique, and surprising pairings; you can sense that the chef understands both the region and its influences without losing his identity. The service is impeccable, professional but never cold, with attention to detail, sophisticated dish presentation, and well-paced service. The dining room is elegant, the atmosphere intimate, ideal for those seeking a memorable experience in Genoa.
