Ligurian Restaurants

1. A Map

   Lupo

   • Genoa, Italy
   • Restaurants › Ligurian

   Inviting aromas of home cooking – cuttlefish in tomato sauce, ravioli in walnut sauce and homemade desserts – greet you at the door, as do owners who welcome you like they’ve known you forever. Lupo’s wine list is outstanding, and its antiques and objets d’art, such as cast-iron candelabras, a grandfather clock and black-and-white photographs suspended on wire strings create a refined yet relaxed ambience.

   I Tre Merli

   • Genoa, Italy
   • Restaurants › Ligurian

   Grander than some of its portside counterparts, this well-positioned restaurant is flanked by towering black-and-white-striped columns. Excellent Ligurian cuisine includes salted cod fritters, and veal stuffed with porcini mushrooms and potatoes. Otherwise, you can just have a glass of wine with wood-fired snacks such as focaccia col formaggio (Liguria’s answer to cheese-on-toast).

   Tucked in a historic stone cellar down an alley off Via Garibaldi, this intimate spot has some great wines accompanying dishes such as king prawns in tarragon sauce on black rice. There's a wide choice of Ligurian meat dishes, several of which require a minimum of two diners.
