Genoa, Italy Restaurants

The vast majority of dining places in Genoa charge a fixed amount per person (called 'coperto'), as is customary in Italy. A trattoria, cafe or bar will not charge this fee for lunch, and this is often a good place to get pasta or a sandwich in the afternoon. Restaurants are open from approximately 12:30 - 3:00 pm for lunch and 7:30 - 10:00pm for dinner.

High-end dining

• Grace Restaurant: the cuisine, linked to the territory, combines the flavours and aromas of Liguria with the pleasures of traditional international cuisine and is entrusted to the expert hands of Chef Salvatore Di Carlo.

Specialities

• Pesto sauce originates from the city of Genova. It is used in many dishes including pastas and pizzas. You can always order from the huge cariety of pastas and pizzas available here but trying the one which is based on Pesto is must to experience the traditional Genovese cuisine.

• Another must try from the Genovese or Ligurian cuisine is the 'focaccia' which essentially is a flat oven-baked Italian bread, which may be topped with onions, herbs, or other foodstuffs. They are quite tasty and often cheaper than pizzas. There are many 'Focaccerias' scattered throughout Genova and its surroundings. These are basically take away places and easy on the wallet too. In many of the focaccerias you will find improvised varieties of focaccias but usually the best tasting ones come with only tomatoes or onions and a bit of olive oil.

• Don't miss to try the Farinata a thiny crusty pie made with chick- peas flour, water salt and olive oil.
