Reviewers rave about Icco's hot pot, calling it a communal, warming experience. The overall vibe is cozy and satisfying, perfect for sharing.
“This is the Chinese hotpot, the only one in all of Genoa. I'm back at Icco on Corso Italia, the perfect place to come with company and try a totally different experience. You compose your own sauce, choose the broths you prefer, and order whatever you want, but most importantly you choose how and how long to cook it. But before you start, make sure to put on a bib. In this place, meat is the star: beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and fish, which you'll also find in the form of ravioli. They arrive raw, and you cook them yourself. An interactive meal, definitely unique in its kind.”
