We had a fabulous lunch here in the people could not have been nicer. Make sure you get the lasagna with the homemade sauce made by mama. Her daughter Barbara and her husband waited on us and they were super. The spaghetti with meatballs was delicious as was the ravioli with walnuts. Of course, walnuts are specialty of the Genova area. We had the tiramisu for dessert and it was good as well. I highly recommend this restaurant which is just one block off the main center of town.
One of our favorite places to eat in Italy! The calamari is amazing! I had the lasagna, so light and good. My husband had the spaghetti with the mussels, we loved it! Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic dining experience with a truly delicious meal. Huge thanks to the staff for their patience as we navigated the menu and language. The lasagna I had was incredible, and everything else we ordered was just as flavorful. Every bite was fresh, tasty, and absolutely worth it!
Family run, pansoti raviolis in a walnut sauce were delicious. Homemade pasta. They are quick and efficient. A stones throw from the tour boats.
Such a wonderful experience! Food was extremely delicious and service was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and warm.
Spaghetti alle vongole, fritti misto di mare e spaghetti alla Baicin were really delicious and had good quality. Just I didn’t like the vegetables which I took as a starter.
We were looking for a good fritto misto and found it here. We were greeted with a warm welcome on entry and our lovely servers patiently indulged our travellers’ Italian. We also ordered a Zuppa Di Pesce which was full of fresh seafood. The fritto misto was perfectly executed with a light, crispy batter. There was no o greasy aftertaste. The calamari was tender and the prawns were fried just enough so the shell was completely edible. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience there and intend to go back for more!
Authentic Italian Dining Experience ???????? We had dinner at Baicin as a family of four (two adults and two kids, one under 5). The place is not a luxury restaurant, but it has the charm of a cozy, family-run eatery. It truly feels like you’re invited to someone’s home for a meal! The staff was incredibly welcoming , making sure we felt comfortable from the start. The menu features classic Italian dishes—delicious pasta, fresh seafood, and perfectly cooked fish. One of the highlights of our meal was the grilled calamari, which was absolutely perfect—tender, flavorful, and cooked just right! A big plus for the staff: they were very understanding when our 5-year-old daughter got a little restless and made a bit of a mess at the table. They remained friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even more enjoyable for us as parents! When we arrived, we were the only ones there, but that’s just because Italians tend to dine later than we do. The bill was in line with other restaurants in the area, so no surprises there. Not for those seeking luxury! If you’re looking for a fancy, high-end restaurant, this is not the place. But if you’re a true foodie who appreciates authentic, well-cooked Italian dishes without unnecessary frills or overpriced menus, then Baicin is a hidden gem! Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
