Trattoria Gigiun In Mele

05/07/2025: Everything tastes very good and at a good price.

30/06/2025: Where and what do you eat for lunch or dinner? A typical question for those who go on holiday away from home...... Finding ourselves in Genoa, Porto Antico area, I see these lights from afar that catch my attention, tables outside and large umbrellas to protect from the humidity. We approach and a boy welcomes us, but also a Lady (I later discover she is the owner), I ask both of them if, in addition to fish, they also did meat for my husband. They answer yes, yes. We sit down...... Friendliness, efficient service, requests fulfilled. WE ORDER...... I decide on a mussel soup and ask if they were fresh, since coming from the wonderful Sicily, I know fresh fish very well, and Mrs. Maria assures me that they are very fresh. I "mussel soup", my husband "trofie with Genoese pesto". What can I say, everything is VERY GOOD and VERY FRESH. Loving fish, I decide to take the "roasted prawns" my husband instead a salad. What can I say, excellent prawns, but the TOP thing was receiving them already shelled and with the signature "MARIA". Truly a beautiful thought, which makes you really love the desire to have lunch in these typical local trattorias, where simplicity, cordiality, availability, reign supreme. What can I say, we had a great dinner, excellent food, the owner very kind, GENOA a discovery, a beautiful discovery. We will return to visit you Mrs. Maria even for a simple plate of pasta, but at the same time, we await you in this wonderful land, called SICILY. ❤️
