Il Polpino: A great bar in Sestri Levante

by globetrott

Rumeria " Il polpino " offers great aperitivs and rum-cocktails.And on my pic-combination you may see " pipi " - also known as VT-member polpino ( BUT much more active in his bar than on VT !! )and Chiara, the boss of the taxi-company & travel agency " pollon " ( beeing active in both places, in the bar & on VT !! )You may click on this link and get a map of town, showing also Via Cappuccini in the middle below:www.multimap.com - Sestri Levante It is great that in all these bars you may also ask for a non-alcoholic mixdrink , when you are driving a car.and in the evening, when you like to take an aperitivo before you go to another restaurant, you will get some great snacks with your drink.

Ristaurante Creperie Thermopolium: A nice restaurant on the boulevard

by globetrott

Ristaurante Creperie Thermopolium is a nice restaurant situated directely on the small beach-boulevard of Nervi.The best about it is the fact that your tables are directely at the sea and you might only be disturbed a bit by the pedestrians passing by... They had nice snacks, crepes and pizzas as well as icecream.You may click here in order to see, where to find Passegiata Anita Garibaldi:www.multimap.com - Nervi

Ristorante Thermopolium: Great value/ good food

by ianandgilly

We were brwsing the menu when a local nudged me and said " so sorry but very good" - with that we went in! We sat by the door and looked out over the sea - what a great spot. The owner was hugely friendly and the food (cooked by his wife) was tasty, geberous in portions and great value. I had veggy cakes to start and an omlette and Gilly had a mixed Ors D'Oeuvres followed by a seafood platter. That plus puds (yummy icecream) came to Euros 44 - not bad by my reckoning even at the current £1.2 = 1Euro.Try it! Veggy cakes

Focaccia: It is not only about pizza in Italy.

by DanielF

Focaccia is one of the best known kinds of flat bread in Italy and some people consider it to be the ancestor of pizza. In Liguria, focaccias are readily available in every bakery and some shops are even specialised in this product.The focaccia alla genovese is a Ligurian speciality (fugassa, as they call it here). It is simple, but tasty and very healthy, as the flat bread is seasoned with olive oil and sea salt. A good focaccia must be crusty outside and spongey inside. Some locals enjoy dipping their focaccia alla genovese into the caffelatte. A bizarre combination, but why not give it a try?

Restaurants in Cinque Terre

Generic Tip: Getting Chow in Cinque Terre Villages

by diver-x

Most of the food available in the Cinque Terre villages that we saw were pizzerias, cafes and gelaterias, with maybe 2 or 3 sit-down restaurants in each town (aside from, maybe Monterosso, which may have more available). Most menus of course revolved around seafood. I'm partial to the focaccia sandwiches that are widely available all over Italy. Tomato & mozzarella and prociutto. We had especially yummy ones at a cafe-bar in Corniglia. Make sure you have some gelato too! I had some of the yummiest flavors in the Cinque Terre: pistachio, black forest, and the richest chocolate I've ever had!

Ristorante "Moresco": Last Night in Levento: The Ambiance, the Food

by deecat

As the picture indicates, we gained some color on our last day in Italy. We were at Levante Beach for two hours, did some last minute shopping, and spent three hoursEATING A SUPERIOR DINNER AT RISTORANTE MORESCO.This restaurant has such a romantic atmosphere with its frescoes on the walls, with its great Italian music in the background, and with its EXCELLENT food, which features magnificent sauces.After this "heavenly" meal, we took a long, lovely walk. This night capped off 28 days of absorbing the alluring, seductive, and captivating sites of ITALY. My favorite dish was Beef Filet with mushrooms in a wine sauce similar to Marchant Devin.Allan's favorite dish: Baked fish with an excellent sauce.We both loved the shrimp coctail because of, yes, the delicious sauce.

I am not sure about the name: Another great restaurant in Boccadasse / Genua

by globetrott

Here on my picture, in the very centre of Boccadasse you will see the other great restaurant in Boccadasse - on the right !On this tiny square in the very centre of the old fishing-village Boccadasse - that was lateron simply "swallowed" by Genua / Genova - you will find another great restaurant, serving mainly local fish.And of course these boats in front of the restaurant are not only a nice decoration, but certainly still in use every day in order to get really fresh fish.You have to park your car in a distance of maybe 500 meters, walk down plenty of steps into the former fishing-village in order to find this special restaurant.You may click here in order to see, where to go :www.multimap.com - BoccadasseWhere the coast-road bends you may park your car and step down plenty of steps to the old fishing-village of Boccadasse Fish in all of its variations and certainly at least partly...

LAVAGNA - Pasticceria Antica Piaggio: Did you ever taste rusty tools ??

by globetrott

This is a special bakery-shop that I saw on the mainstreet of Lavagna.They had very funny and creative sorts of bakeries and sweets...They also serve coffee and tea with their own cakes.Here you may see a small map of Lavagna :www.multimap.com - Lavagna At first you might get the idea, they simply put some old, rusty tools next to their sweets...BUT, simply take a second look - these rusty old tools are made simply of chocolate - in an absolutely great and artistic way.They certainly make also a perfect gift for your friends at home.

did you ever taste rusty tools ??
Da Maria: My favorite place in Genua & one of the cheapest

by globetrott

This is a place, you should NOT MISS as it is unique in many ways This great restaurant is in the old part of Genua / Genova and you will meet all levels of guests there .Large tables & most of them will be occupied most of the timeA funny menu with explanations like " our xxx tastes really great today " or " try xxz, we use only real butter in our kitchen "The menu is in Italian ONLY, and when you order your dish it might happen, that the waitress comes back, telling you, yyyyy is not available anymore today, and she will immidiately take a pencil and cross it out on Your menu , that had lots of crossed out dishes already, when you got the menu ;-)Have a look on the pic, with the laundry around the windows, and the very small entrancedoor - in fact you rather get the feeling to enter a private house, than a restaurant. We came rather late into the fully occupied restaurant, found a...
