10/10Great service for a wonderful dining experience. We ordered the 5 steps dinner but they always surprised us with something else. I would describe it here but it would spoil the surprise.

9/10This is a very fine high end restaurant with a caring serving staff, creative cooking, elegant atmosphere and an interesting wine list. Breads and desserts are spectacular. As I told the restaurant on another review site my only concern was a little too much salt in some of the dishes They graciously agreed to discuss that with the chef although they say there were no other complaints. We would go back,.
Hostaria Ducale • Owner
It will be a huge pleasure to see you again at Hostaria Ducale and introduce you to the chef to be able to talk about food. We are waiting for you!

10/10We went for lunch and had the 6 course tasting with the wine pairing. The service was elegant yet warm and comfortable. The attention to detail was impressive. We dine at places like this frequently when we travel and really enjoy tasting the areas food in an elegant and upscale manner. We especially love it when we can do it for lunch. The decor was well balanced with modernity with a touch of old world. The wine pairing was very enjoyable to try the wines of the area with each course. I highly recommend the experience

10/10After some initial confusion around a last minute vegan addition to our party we had an excellent meal. Our hostess took us through each dish as it arrived - beautifully presented and very tasty. Pricey but a real treat.

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!
Hostaria Ducale • Owner
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.

10/10The best meal I had on this trip, better than the meal I had at a 3 Michelin star restaurant in Piemonte yesterday. Warm and kind service and spectacular food.

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.
Hostaria Ducale • Owner
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Come back soon to see us

9/10Nice experience overall with my wife Small space, about 9 tables inside We choose a la cart 2 appetizer 1 Ravioli 1 fish (Ricciola) 2 glass of white wine + 2 water 2 dessert 2 Tisana 160 € Good: Service was precise and fast Each plate had different shape as recipe required Food well presented To be improved: Quantity a little scarce Music some anonymous bump bump from 2 small Sonos wireless, may be better some good jazz instead. Adding 2 speakers will improve ambience without being too loud

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.
Hostaria Ducale • Owner
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.

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.
