AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about the crackling, cheese-filled Focaccia di recco, calling it a transcendent Ligurian staple. The overall vibe is one of rustic, joyful authenticity that makes every bite feel like a discovery.
“This is the real Focaccia di Recco — no yeast, two layers of thin dough filled with stracchino cheese. They made it fresh for me, straight from the oven, all puffed up and bubbly. It's savoury, the cheese is the star, and it's so delicate it falls apart when you eat it — that's why they give you a little tray. I'd give it an 8+ out of 10. Definitely better than the second place I tried.”
