A Taste Of Home

You can’t visit Liguria without trying its most iconic dishes, which speak of the land, its traditions and its past.

Some Ligurian specialties are world-famous, while others are pleasant little discoveries that will make your visit to the region even more memorable.

Here are my top 4 Ligurian delicacies that you must try when visiting the region:

Trofie al pesto

Pesto’s match made in pasta heaven is trofie, a twisted, spiral-shaped pasta that is also native to Liguria. The ribbed spirals perfectly pick up pesto's fine consistency, resulting in perfect bite after perfect bite, each guaranteed to transport you to the Ligurian seaside.

Focaccia

Savory, delicious, warm and versatile, Focaccia is surely one of the staple foods of Italian cuisine. It’s the perfect appetizer, sandwich bread, or on-the-go snack!

Pansotti

Pansotti pasta with walnut sauce is a traditional dish from Liguria. Similar to cappelletti or tortellini, pansotti (or pansoti) is stuffed ravioli-like pasta filled with ricotta and a variety of herbs and greens.

Farinata

Farinata is an iconic Italian street food with crispy edges and a custardy center. This savory chickpea pancake is made without wheat so it's a great gluten-free appetizer, snack, or side dish. Whether you avoid gluten or eat it like candy this Italian speciality is sure to please.
