Il Baretto Gallese In Genova

15/12/2024: Very atmospheric place, excellent for an evening as a couple, but also suitable for group outings. Friendly service and attentive to the customer's needs (for a friend who was pregnant and lactose intolerant they made many proposals to accommodate her). Good and tasty food.

24/11/2024: Last night we had dinner at this nice place located in the historic center of Lavagna. It offers classic Tuscan cuisine, but with some interesting reinterpretations resulting from the lively creative inspiration of the chef. Small but very pleasant environment, the owner comes personally to describe the off-menu dishes down to the smallest detail, enriching an already quite rich list of dishes. Good value wine list, from which we chose a Chianti Classico "Perano" 2022 from the Frescobaldi Company, one of the milestones of Tuscan winemaking, which adapted well to the food savored. As an appetizer we shared coccoli with raw ham and stracchino, we then continued with porchetta and truffle tagliatelle (really divine!!!) and pici alla carbonorcina (a kind of carbonara revisited with sausage), which was also very good. As second courses we had the Chianti fillet (cooked perfectly rare as I like it!) with caramelized onions and baked potatoes and the peposo with purée and fried polenta, also very good. Finally the desserts, the classic cantucci with vin santo and a crumbled cantucci with mascarpone and chocolate chips. A water and two coffees conclude a dinner that is truly difficult to forget, for a final bill (including a small and welcome discount) of 140 Euros for two, certainly not cheap, but to be considered absolutely correct for the great quality of the dishes we took and the raw materials used are top-notch. We can't wait to return, also to try some of the other very tempting dishes that we saw being brought to nearby tables, perhaps including the Florentine steak. Highly recommended place for lovers of Tuscan cuisine! Well done!
