About Trattoria Del Boia

Let me introduce you to Trattoria Del Boia, a spot that feels instantly grounded in the everyday rhythm of Genoa the moment you hear its name. Sitting right in Piazza Cavour at number 7R, this restaurant has that lived-in, local energy that makes you feel comfortable before you even sit down. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, the kind of place where conversation flows easily and the tables seem to invite you to stay a little longer. Trattoria Del Boia is very much a restaurant for people who enjoy honest food and a straightforward dining experience, whether you’re stopping by for a casual dine-in meal or choosing delivery when you want something reliable and full of character at home. I like how the menu balances tradition with everyday practicality, offering wine, beer, spirits, and coffee without overcomplicating things, so there’s always a drink that fits the mood. Alcohol is available if you’re easing into the evening, while coffee feels just right for a slower daytime visit. What stands out to me is how naturally healthy options sit alongside richer choices, making it easy to dine your own way without feeling boxed in. Everything about Trattoria Del Boia suggests a place that understands its neighborhood and the people who pass through it, from locals on their lunch break to visitors exploring the nearby streets. The setting in Piazza Cavour adds to that sense of place, giving the restaurant an open, city-center feel that’s lively but not overwhelming. When I talk about Trattoria Del Boia, I think of a restaurant that values consistency, warmth, and approachability, focusing less on trends and more on creating a dependable, enjoyable experience that fits seamlessly into everyday life in Genoa. It’s the kind of place I’d mention to a friend who wants something authentic, unpretentious, and easy to enjoy, where service feels natural and the focus stays on simple pleasure rather than performance.

We had the lunch menu, which was rather lavish for the price. It's the Italian version of the Spanish Menu del Dia - a typical Mediterranean thing. You choose between multiple options from a limited menu and get some wine (red or white, no name) and water with it for a good price, open for everybody. I enjoyed the food a lot: Spaghetti Vongole, fried fish and Mista salad, a white wine, some water.

Relaxed environment. Quality food. Competitive pricing. Weekday mnu for 13 euros first and second course wine or water. The best in Genoa

Trattoria del Boia advertises as a family business and really is! A bit off of the central streets, but still easily accessible and offering great local food at reasonable prices. If you visit during rush hour, be prepared for somewhat longer waiting times; and it is a good idea to book a table in advance if you could. As a visitor, being seated amongst Italians was a welcome relief from the crowds.

A great little local place with great seafood at super cheap prices. We loved the sword fish with tomatoes & shots of lemoncello for €1.50 were a bargain!!

One of our best meals during our 2 weeks in Italy, the octopus with gnocchi was unbelievable, the pesto was so fresh tasting, and the chickpea appetizer we had was so crispy! I wish we would have gotten a chance to eat here multiple times.

Honest and good people, food is ok. We ate well but also felt that this was local people for local people and we were privileged to be able to eat here. Wonderful

Great little restaurant next to the harbour, a delicious menu for only 13€ wine included. Great meal with 2 gangs, very warm atmosphere, it seems to be the canteen of the workers from the harbour, really colloquial and authentic. We love this place ! Anna & Hartmut.

Cute & simple authentic Italian restaurant by the water, tucked away and not over-populated by tourists - in fact, everyone spoke italian in there around us! Great food, great service, and great location. Trofie al pesto is a must if you’re in Genoa!
