Trattoria dell'Acciughetta

About

Trattoria dell'Acciughetta is a quirky, family‑owned gem tucked away in the heart of Genoa’s historic Via Prè. Founded in 2015 by 27‑year‑old Giorgia Losi, the trattoria has grown into a vibrant culinary laboratory where traditional Ligurian seafood is reinvented with playful creativity. The menu changes daily, often featuring imaginative fish dishes, inventive plant‑based options, and made‑to‑order pizzas, all served in a cosy, brightly‑painted space that feels more like a community kitchen than a formal dining room. With a second, larger venue called "Quelli dell’Acciughetta" in the Carignano district, the team — composed of young chefs and passionate staff — thrives on experimentation, inclusivity, and a welcoming atmosphere. Guests rave about the freshness of the seafood, the bold flavors, and the friendly service, while also noting the restaurant’s compact size and the popularity that can lead to tight wait times. Whether you’re a local foodie seeking an unconventional dining experience or a visitor to Genoa looking for a taste of inventive Ligurian cuisine, Acciughetta offers a memorable, energetic scene that embraces both tradition and modernity.
