The city's umpteenth friggitoria is a takeaway cone of fried fish, but it's still a safe bet among all the lestakeaway places in the Aquarium district.

From shrimp to anchovies, sardines, octopus or cod, you're spoilt for choice. There's even a vegetarian cornet and verrines of fish mousse to enjoy on the quayside. Fair prices and pleasant service.

An unbelievable small kiosk located in an enchanting and wild place, made of dunes and shrubs, at the end of the beach and at the beginning of the great dam of Alberoni. The colors of the totems and sculptures of the artists who passed there blend with the color of the passion of tables and chairs. We eat well (pilaf rice in saffron, paella, peooes, pasta alla busara, vegetarian dishes…), and the parties that are very regularly organized are unforgettable.

It is easy to understand why there is a crowd every evening. This shop in Treviso cultivates a vintage and authentic atmosphere.

One more word on the porchetta or red radish sandwiches, with a taste of "revenge"!

A deep-fried paradise with a very Trainspotting atmosphere. Everything is fried, everything is good and everything is cheap (from €5 for a fry).

On the menu: shrimp, cod, chicken nuggets, but also zucchini flowers, eggplant and cordon bleu. Fries are a logical accompaniment, to be dipped in a choice of over 50 different sauces. To drink, a selection of 16 craft beers.

In truth, it's more of a café-bar than a restaurant. A popular spot, as crowded as it is welcoming, right in the heart of the historic center. The reason? People come here to enjoy wine from the Adige hillsides, craft beer, or a glass of prosecco served "on draught", accompanied by delicious canapés of cold meats, mozzarella and bruschetta. You can stuff yourself to your heart's content because it's not expensive and, what's more, it's tempting: everything is on display in the window. You'll have to elbow your way to find room foraperitivo.

For those who love good food, the Bar à Fromage is the place to be. This mountain restaurant, which you'd visit only for its traditional decor featuring objects used to make butter or cheese, is well worth the detour. The raw materials used to concoct the dishes are rigorously sourced from local producers. It's hard to choose: gnocchi or Grand Paradis soup? Fondue, raclette or reblochon? Cheese platter or alpine milk ice cream?

A gourmet bakery, renowned for serving the best focaccia in Genoa. The area is quiet, not very touristy, close to the Museo Sant'Agostino, and it is mostly local people who use this place for their "daily bread".
