Anchovies from Monterosso, often salted or marinated. They are a local hallmark thanks to the village’s long fishing tradition.
A warm seafood salad of octopus, potatoes, olives and herbs. Common along the Ligurian coast and rooted in local fishing cuisine.
Ligurian focaccia topped simply with olive oil and salt. A daily staple in the region, eaten as a snack, breakfast or alongside meals.
Casual spot popular for fresh focaccia, sandwiches and local takeaway bites, ideal for a quick lunch near the centre.
