9/10Gorgeous food - worthy of the Michelin rating. Tasty and innovative, and beautifully presented. Service was a little more stuffy than I’d have liked, and bordering on pretentious at times. (Changing the water glass because the taste from a previous course might linger?) And if you’re going to have a dedicated sommelier then they should make sure glasses are not sitting empty while the bottle is across the room. Especially when there’s only four occupied tables in the place. In the end I went and fetched it myself!

Good evening and thank you very much for the review. We change the glass after the course with the egg to eliminate the taste that could be unpleasant. We pour the water regularly and if it didn't happen we apologize, obviously there was a mistake. We hope to see you again soon.

10/10Slightly difficult to find for us with Maps but once there it was a wonderful experience. Varied menu, we chose a la carte rather than degustazione. Had a cocktail before ordering, were not at all rushed, had a lot of help with the menu and allergies, and a wonderful meal...excellent preparation and artisitic presentation. Exactly if not better what we expected.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Come back soon to see us

10/10We visited on a Thursday evening. Food was a-ma-zing and the waiters were super friendly. Definitely a recommendation! I loved the entree with lobster the most.

8/10We ordered five-course tasting menu. The food portion was small. Have to eat all the breads in order to fill stomach :(
Hostaria Ducale (Owner)
Dear Chen, we are certainly not a large portion restaurant, but no one has ever complained. I'm sorry that the food was cheap for you. Thanks for the review.

6.5/10No vegetables, just fish and sauce and risotto. The cuisine of the fish was good but the rest were way too much different flavours. Made the dishes too complex, not nice. Complementairy wines were also not good.
Hostaria Ducale (Owner)
I am very sorry that Hostaria Ducale did not satisfy you. The gourmet restaurant is probably not what you should look for. We are not a restaurant where you can eat vegetables. Thank you for your review.

8.5/10Good use of ingredients but portion is slightly smaller than what we expected. We had an early lunch and went here for a late lunch as we got slightly hungry again. We didnt want a full lunch course menu so we decided to go for 1 dish. The translation on the app is also confusing as it says appetiser+main+/or dessert+coffee and a glass of wine but when we got there it was not + rather you can choose one dish either from starter, main or dessert. So we were confused from that. Service was great, my husband had a great dish, mine was good.

Dear Customer, in gourmet restaurants the portions are never abundant, otherwise they would be trattorias. I'm sorry you went out hungry, you should have eaten two dishes, not one. We thank you for your review and hope to be able to review it. Soon.

10/10When I came in, I was greeted warmly as if I was often a guest here. I ordered the five-course menu with wine. I was delighted with every plate. The food was exceptionally good and worth every cent. It is a pity I am only in Genoa for three days or I would come back.
Hostaria Ducale (Owner)
Dear Customer, thank you for this beautiful review. I am very happy that you spent a nice evening at Hostaria Ducale and I hope you return to Genoa soon to try other dishes on our menu. Best wishes.

9.5/10This is a superb restaurant. We had the degustation menu with matched wine and it was great. Fair prices and excellent service. The staff do all they can to make you feel welcome.

Dear customer, thank you very much for this wonderful review. It was a great pleasure to host you in our restaurant and it was very interesting to talk to you about Brexit. I hope to see you again soon. Best wishes.

10/10Unluckily had a flight to catch and ordered just pasta and a dessert for an early lunch - the waiter was nonetheless friendly and professional and made it a culinary experience worth remembering with a starter soup and finishing with brownies/cookie/gelee. No doubt would go there again.
Hostaria Ducale (Owner)
Dear customer, thank you so much for all these beautiful words about us. It will always be a pleasure to see you again at Hostaria Ducale. We are waiting for you.

7.5/10Food was fine but less of a taste explosion that you would expect due to the presentation of the plates. It surely looked amazing. Spaghetti little bit too al denote, the tuna, scampi and langoustine were incredibly fresh and tasteful, waiter was really charming.
Hostaria Ducale (Owner)
Thank you for your review. I’m pleased that you had a positive experience. We usually serve our ‘pasta’ al dente because we think one can enjoy it much better than if served well cooked. I’m really sorry that you didn’t find the taste of our food at the same level of its presentation, but we hope to have another opportunity to welcome you again and to meet your expectation.

10/10Wow, food was amazing and the service as well. Compared to the price you pay you definitely get value for money. The best scallops and seared tuna I've ever had. I could go back any day!
Hostaria Ducale (Owner)
Thank you for such an encouraging comment. When our clients live a good experience having lunch/dinner at our restaurant we feel so gratified. We hope to welcome you again
