13/01/2026: On our second, completely unplanned visit, Le Cicale in Città has undeniably established itself as one of Genoa's top seafood destinations.
We returned almost instinctively, and it was a rewarding choice: a simply exceptional amberjack tartare, impeccable in its quality of ingredients, balanced seasoning, and crisp flavor. A simple, elegant dish that speaks of the sea with great precision. This was followed by a second course of equally high-quality fish, cooked with expert technique and rare sensitivity, where every element was perfectly placed.
A decisive added value was the service: attentive, competent, and never intrusive, capable of accompanying the experience without weighing it down. But above all, we must mention Chef Costa, who personally presented the dishes to us: a gesture that is anything but predictable, conveying passion, awareness of his work, and respect for the customer. When the chef puts his face—and his words—on what arrives on the table, the perceived quality grows even further.
What's striking, when you return, is the continuity of excellence: not a one-off success, but a clear and consistent approach, rigorously maintained. A relaxed atmosphere, great attention to detail, and that rare feeling of being in exactly the right place.
Le Cicale in Città isn't just an excellent restaurant: it's a sure thing. And when a place impresses even more on a second visit, especially an unplanned one, it's truly hit the mark. Highly recommended.
