Eating in Liguria
Traditional Ligurian food is some of the most refined in all of Italy. Tagliatelle is served in various forms here, and torta di verdura is a local speciality, a vegetable pie made with borage and other wild late-winter herbs. Seafood is very popular, as the sea around Liguria is abundant with life. Some typical dishes are:
Mushroom pie
Mussels stuffed with cheese and herbs
Orata (a local fish) cooked with olives and potatoes
Gattafin (pasta stuffed with beetroot, onion and parmesan)
Soviore rice pie
Liguria is also the birthplace of pesto sauce.
In all Liguria provinces there's a speciality called ‘Farinata’, which consists of a thin salty, pie made with chick-pea flour which is cooked in a wood oven, similar to those used for pizza. It’s eaten as antipasto or as a nutritious snack and can be topped with Gorgonzola, onion or Salsiccia.
