Trattoria Osvaldo in Metropolitan City of Genoa

"Fantastic atmosphere in the courtyard and inside this cute little trattoria. Outstanding and concise wine list with many affordable local wines. Food is simple, fresh and elegantly presented. One of my best meals ever. Seafood and pesto are the best bets."

"Delightful experience. Shaded outdoor seating was civilised and atmospheric in a square away from the crowds yet only a few minutes from the sea front. Excellent flood and wine. Highly enjoyable and genuine. Authentic."

"Delightful location just behind the beachfront of the quaint seaside resort Boccadasse which can get quite busy with day tourists. If you do choose outdoor seating beware you may get gauped at by tourists eating ice-cream or drinking beer which sit themselves down on the bench along the side of this tiny piazza. Personally I don't like it, in future I will eat indoors. Food is in my opinion quite excellent but I would stick with the classics on the menu such as pasta with pesto, genovese fried fish or baccala (stockvis). Service can be a little impersonal."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trattoria Osvaldo is one of those places that truly captures the essence of traditional Italian cuisine. The food is authentic, rich in flavor, and clearly prepared with care and high quality ingredients. The atmosphere feels genuine and welcoming, the kind of trattoria where you can relax and enjoy a long meal. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more pleasant. It is a place that makes you feel connected to local culture and traditions, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a real Italian dining experience."

"This is a hidden gem! Great ambience, great service and great menu items: Italian cuisine with Genovese specialities, and also an excellent wine list to accompany a wonderful dinner. Advanced reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment."

"The food was lovely! One may feel the portions to be bit smaller, but the Salsa di Noci e la torta al cioccolato did it! Service was exemplary, we were a group of 8 people, albeit last customers. The location makes it rather hidden but you can always go enjoy the sea-breeze after an excellent meal"

"This beautiful tratoria is in the heart of the Boccadasse area , it’s a beautiful Italian romantic patio, the perfect place for a magnificent quiet and cool evening. Everything was beyond what we expected, a warm welcome from the staff, prompt service, and a very appetizing menu. With a great selection of wines, we were specially impressed by the Pigato from the Ligurian area. We started with a refreshing raw fish “crudo di pescato” accented with a delightful citrus combination that perfectly opened our palates . The stockfish, although a little dry at first, became exceptional with a little drizzle of olive oil. the pastas were all very good!!!! and the desserts, needless to say, an explosion of flavors, especially the pannacotta... mmm! we will definitely be back soon!"

"Had a great evening, staff was very friendly (even translated the Italian menu to us) food was really delicious The best restaurant in Boccadasse."
