What's Inside the Guide
Dear food traveller,
In this guide is much more than a simple list. It's my personal collection of over 120 places I love, gathered during 7 years of leading food tours and a life time of living (and eating) in Genoa.
I've personally written a review for each place (be sure to fully read it!) plus tips on what to order and how to eat, drink and shop like a local!
