The best neighborhood bars Liguria

A delicious aroma emanates from this tiny café nestled in Via Galata. Here, you enjoy your espresso at the counter, like any self-respecting Italian (!), sometimes nibbling a panino on the go, or a sweet brioche filled with chocolate or jam at breakfast time... You can also buy coffee in bulk, as it is roasted on the premises. Sweets and many other sweet treats are beautifully presented. Located in the " da tanti anni " district, this authentic place is retro to a fault.

Tucked away in an alleyway leading downhill, this bar run by a friendly Genoese couple has more of a regular clientele, but tourists can still find their way in. Inside, a few small tables are ideal for a quick lunch. On the menu are dishes of the day, but above all savoury snacks(panini, toast, focaccia farcita, slices of pizza...). Then the traditional coffee with a few sweet treats for dessert. A practical, efficient address that helps out when you're feeling peckish. A discreet but typical neighborhood address.
