A little about Liguria and its cuisine

Liguria is one of the most beautiful regions in Italy. Genoa, its capital, is home to one of the busiest ports in all of Italy, as well as being a very charming city. The city is also home to one of the best Italian cuisines with pastas, sweets, meats and much more. The flagship of the city is the Genoese pesto. The green sauce is based on basil, garlic, pinoli, parmesan, pecorino cheese, salt and oil and it pleases almost all palates with ease. In Genoa it is mainly served with a pasta called Trofie, typical of the region. Discover our section on Food in Italy, with many tips and information for you to eat well in Italy without getting in trouble!

Other traditional dishes

Another traditional dish is the Genoese focaccia. The dough is light, soft and very tasty and can be covered with several options: cheeses, tomatoes, onions and many others; but it can also be enjoyed without any topping, as it is equally delicious. Genoese Minestrone is also famous. It is a delicious vegetable soup!

For those who love cod, they can safely taste Stoccafisso alla genovese. The dish is based on codfish with anchovies, onions, celery, garlic, potatoes, olives, carrots, tomatoes, pinoli, raisins, herbs and white wine. Of course, each place has its own reinterpretation of the dish, but it is always tasty.

The best part: the dessert

For dessert, you can opt for a coffee semifreddo called Panera. The name unites the words ‘panna and nera’ (cream and black – a black cream). It is made with coffee, and is a real ‘caress’ for the palate. Italians place great value on homemade food and, in Genoa, it would be no different. The kitchen tradition here has a special flavor, as the sailors’ wives cooked to pass the time and wait for their loved ones who returned from the sea at the end of the day, that is: traditions and flavors kept, luckily for us! Without further ado, let’s get to know the best places to eat well for little money in splendid Genoa. Don’t miss the Fantastic Aquarium of Genoa!

Useful information

Folks, remember that some hours may change according to the season, so get informed before going to the place. A good suggestion is to book in advance, especially on two occasions: during the summer, in high season, when the city is CROWDED, and for dinner, which is usually the busiest time.

Please note…

Of course, the city offers a huge range of restaurants: the more centralized, the more expensive! If you want more affordable places, get away from the center a little or look for them in the adjacent streets, those little known by tourists. A suggestion is to ask if the hotel where you are staying has any indication: sometimes they are affiliated and even offer a discount. Also ask if the hotel has a restaurant: sometimes they have restaurants and it ends up unnoticed in our madness of looking for a good and cheap restaurant.
