A’ Lanterna Focaccia

Liguria is not only a land of sea, indeed it is a land of mountains, vegetables gardens, small villages perched on the crests.

Torta verde is a particular pizza filled with zucchini, local herbs and onions but now that you are here also try one of the focaccia, have a slice of Sardenaira.

Sardenaira is a pizza with an ancient history, giving all the flavours of Western Liguria. In fact, Liguria best colours and taste are spread: the red of tomato sauce, the particular taste of dressed garlic, the salty flavour of salted anchovies, the scent of origan of our mountains, the capers growing in stone walls and Taggiascan olives.

You may eat focaccia at every time of the day, from breakfast to dinner time, you can have a nibble before going to sleep. It accompanies our day as it has accompanied the history of these inhabitants, who have taken the best of small things.
