Osteria Baccicin Du Caru In Genova

Incredible experience here with an owner who knows his stuff. We were left speechless with the amount of stuff we learned about the plates, ingredients, and local knowledge. We’ll definitely be back with more family.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Authentic Ligurian tradition, top-quality cuisine Eating at Baccicin du Caru is much more than lunch: it's a journey into the truest Ligurian cuisine, born from memory, time, and absolute respect for handed-down recipes. 🔹 Appetizers Extraordinary and profoundly traditional. The tongue with salsa verde is tender and flavorful, accompanied by a fragrant and balanced sauce that enhances the meat without overpowering it. The homemade galantine is also excellent: firm, elegant, and full of flavor, made with great technique and respect for tradition. 🔹 First Courses The homemade ravioli made with grandma's old recipe are truly unique, with a thin pasta and an authentic filling that speaks of history and family. The mandilli are exceptional, prepared with ancient flour, and are served with either a fragrant and delicate pesto or an intense and enveloping mushroom version. 🔹 Second Courses Absolute excellence is achieved here. The picanha is masterfully cooked, juicy, and flavorful. The lamb with elderflower is simply memorable: elegant aromas, tender meat, and a rare balance. 🔹 Side Dishes The rustic polenta, with its perfect texture, pairs impeccably with the second course. 🔹 Desserts A high-level finish with an intense and well-balanced chocolate cake and the Genoese pandolce, authentic, fragrant, and true to tradition. 🍷 Atmosphere and Service A warm and authentic atmosphere, without artifice. Friendly, sincere service, like a true Ligurian trattoria. 💰 Value for money Absolutely fair, especially considering the quality of the ingredients and the artisanal care in each dish. 👉 Conclusion Baccicin du Caru is a must-visit for those who love authentic Ligurian cuisine, the kind without compromise and without trends. A place we recommend with our eyes closed.

We had dinner to celebrate my mother's birthday and we couldn't have chosen a better place. Everything was delicious, divine, and impeccable: food as it once was, refined and authentic; excellent wine, presented with passion and expertise. Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable service, both from Mr. Gianni and the waiter, whose name I didn't ask. The pesto (never tasted so good except my mother's!) and the desserts deserve an honorable mention. But truly, everything was "unbeatable"; from the Galantina, "the ancient ham of the noble Ligurians," to the homemade digestifs they kindly offered us at the end of the meal. We had a wonderful time and I can't wait to return. It's nice to see that places like this still exist, where people do what they love. A beautiful family and local story.

What a pleasure it is to still find places where you can eat like at home. If you like authentic food, simplicity, and the friendliness of a host who loves his job and welcomes guests with a smile, entertaining them with anecdotes and secrets of Ligurian cuisine, this is your place... the simple menu, the well-cooked food, without too much fat or ready-made condiments, amazing gnocchi, made as they should be, good potatoes and a little flour, then turned to accommodate the sauce, a traditional antipasto where you can savor the delicate and natural flavor of excellent sweet ingredients, and the price is reasonable. The kitchen is tidy and clean even during service, the pots shine even when they're on the stove, the ladies in the kitchen are attentive and smiling, what more could you ask for? Thank you for making us happy, we'll be back soon.

Dropped in on a moments notice on Sunday for lunch and we were blown away. Extraordinary quality, exceptional dishes, incredible price. Highly recommend stopping in, but best to call and make a reservation.

This was our second visit to Baccicin, and we gladly make the detour on our way home to enjoy a sensational lunch of traditional Ligurian cuisine. Gianni is a wonderful host who remembers each guest and knows their preferences. His wine cellar is extensive, and every drop is a winner. The dishes are all freshly prepared according to time-honored traditions and recipes, and the kitchen is filled with enticing aromas. A must-visit if you're near Genoa!

Excellent traditional Ligurian cuisine

All our expectations for the cuisine at this award-winning restaurant were met. The service was attentive and attentive, and the location was very welcoming. We'll definitely be returning! PS: It's also an excellent wine bar.

100% positive experience. I loved the attention to ingredients and customer service. You feel at ease and the atmosphere is warm. The menu is varied, and everything we ordered was excellent. The desserts were wonderful. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Expectations were very high. The food was good but nothing spectacular. The price was a bit high.
