Il Marin

Il Marin, situated in Genoa’s Porto Antico district, holds a Michelin star awarded in 2024 under the guidance of Chef Marco Visciola, who has led the kitchen since 2016. The restaurant specializes in contemporary seafood cuisine rooted in Ligurian coastal traditions, emphasizing local marine biodiversity and sustainability. Chef Visciola integrates innovative techniques such as fish aging with a custom device named "Il Pesciugatore" and incorporates aeroponically grown herbs harvested immediately before serving. Subtle oriental influences further enrich the inventive menu. The dining room features expansive glass windows with panoramic views of Genoa’s historic port and the Lanterna lighthouse, creating an immersive Ligurian atmosphere. Attentive service led by Benedetta ensures each guest receives a refined and welcoming experience. Complementing the cuisine, sommeliers curate a wine list blending renowned labels with rare Ligurian and natural wines to enhance every dish. Il Marin extends its culinary expertise to personalized catering across Italy, delivering bespoke events from corporate lunches to gala dinners with the same dedication to quality and creativity found in the restaurant setting.
