Lo Scoiattolo In Masone

Discovered by chance while passing through Masone at lunchtime. Excellent service, and the lady was very friendly. The ravioli are spectacular, as is everything else. When we travel, we always plan to be in Masone at lunchtime and stop here. Highly recommended.

Try to book and get there quickly.... Starting next week it will be closed for a while to reopen in March. I'm from Genoa, I love food, and I can assure you that the minestrone I ate was spectacular. A panna cotta covered in an almost moving zabaglione sauce. The panna cotta was delicious even without the cream..... It means that even a simple dessert that you can find in any restaurant, if it's quality, can remain in your memory. .....And the coffee too.....yes, even the coffee!!!!!!!!!!

Friendly staff, very rustic atmosphere, fast service, excellent dishes

Sorry, I'm missing photos of the appetizer and first courses, but I was really hungry, and the sight of the ravioli with hare and wild boar sauce distracted me, but I assure you, they were superb. The same goes for the main courses: veal with tuna sauce and venison with chestnuts, excellent. In short, everything was superb. The staff were friendly and professional. A top rating! We'll definitely be back! Thank you!

The appetizer and main course were delicious. The service was courteous and prompt. The price was reasonable.

A very quiet and friendly place, the food is very good: The pumpkin lasagna with porcini mushrooms is amazing!!! The wild boar ravioli are excellent, as are the veal with tuna sauce and the desserts.

Here we are, sharing our experience at Trattoria Lo Scoiattolo (Via della Cappelletta 42, 16010 Masone (GE). On November 2nd, we met with friends for a trip through the hills of the Genoese hinterland: a rainy day, fog enveloping everything, a diffused light that gave the landscape a muffled and silent atmosphere. Arriving at the trattoria, located in a quiet corner, we were greeted kindly and immediately set out to find refuge from the rain and humidity in a rustic, simple yet comfortable setting. The trattoria presents itself as a genuine local restaurant, known for its home-style cooking, based on local ingredients, and surrounded by greenery. It's the type of trattoria appreciated for its simplicity and authenticity, far from ostentation, perfect for those who enjoy a no-frills but tasteful lunch. The braised beef in Barbera was truly the highlight of the day: tender meat, rich and flavorful sauce, perfect and Abundant. Ravioli and lasagna: the sauce was excellent, really, but personally I would have preferred them tossed in the sauce instead of served "with the sauce on top." The result was still good, but that detail made the difference for me. The portions were all generous. The persimmon dessert: a pleasant ending to the meal, with that sweetness that rounded out the courses perfectly. The service: friendly and unpretentious, ideal for a group of friends who want to spend time together, chat, and enjoy the time. We were hoping to find mushrooms, fresh or otherwise... whether fried or otherwise prepared, but unfortunately they were no longer available. For those of us who love seeking out local mushroom dishes, it was a small disappointment. Despite the rain and fog, lunch at Trattoria Lo Scoiattolo was a moment of pleasure shared with friends. A welcoming atmosphere, honest cuisine, and well-defined flavors. If you're in the area or fancy a trip to the Ligurian hinterland, it's worth it. The only "but" It's about managing expectations — if you're going with the idea of ​​eating fresh mushrooms, it's best to call ahead.

Excellent trattoria, amazing pesto and ravioli, delicious Cima, Ligurian-style rabbit, and desserts, all at a more than fair price. Highly recommended. Reservations are recommended, especially on Saturdays and Sundays.

Excellent address, stopover on the road from Genoa to Turin: menu at 13€, traditional and tasty cuisine, charming welcome from the owners.

Quiet environment in the middle of nature, home-made food and hospitality from the owner are not lacking.
