In Liguria, where the sea breeze dances with the richness of the soil, every meal is a tribute to centuries of tradition, from the bustling markets of Sanremo to the serene hills of Cinque Terre.
Pesto Genovese
Indulge in Pesto Genovese, Liguria's unparalleled culinary signature. Discover the aromatic delight of basil from Pra combined with rich cheeses, garlic, and pine nuts. Perfect with Trofie pasta, this sauce's origins trace back to ancient Rome. To experience the sublime Trofie al Pesto, locals recommend Trattoria Rosmarino, Trattoria La Ruota, and Trattoria dell’Acciughetta.
Focaccia
Focaccia, a beloved daily staple, combines the simple yet heavenly flavors of Liguria. Dating back over two millennia, modern iterations still celebrate the bread's humble origins. For a slice of tradition, visit Focaccia e dintorni, Panificio Mario, or Moltedo 1874.
Focaccia di Recco
A delightful cheesefilled twist on the classic, Focaccia di Recco originated centuries ago as a meager feast for Crusaders. Now a soughtafter delicacy, find it at La Manuelina, Tossini, and La Baracchetta di Biagio.
Pansotti
An authentic taste of Liguria is incomplete without Pansotti—ravioli's regional cousin. Savor the harmonious blend of ricotta, spinach, herbs, and walnuts in this creamy pasta dish. Real Pansotti enthusiasts dine at La Brinca, Uliveto, or Da Fiorella for an unparalleled experience.
Torta Pasqualina
Speaking of Easter traditions, the Torta Pasqualina is a savory symphony of green chard, cheese, herbs, and eggs. With a nod from a 1500s document, this pie has earned its place in Liguria's culinary legacy. Our picks for a perfect slice include Antica Friggitoria Carega, Antica Sciamadda, and Farinata Santa Zita.
Bonus Dish: Farinata
Farinata, a humble chickpea flatbread, narrates a tale of maritime serendipity not in the top five but impossible to ignore. Whether it's legend or history, every bakery in Liguria pays homage to this simple yet satisfying street food.
