Da leccarsi i baffi – Ligurian Tradition

Da leccarsi i baffi – Ligurian Tradition in the Heart of Genoa’s Old Port

If, while strolling through the Old Port of Genoa, you feel the urge to discover the authentic cuisine of Ligurian tradition, the restaurant Da leccarsi i baffi is the perfect choice. A warm and characteristic setting, reminiscent of true Genoese trattorias, welcomes guests and travelers with the unmistakable aromas of the land and sea dishes that have made this region famous.

The menu is a true journey through the flavors of Liguria: starting with crispy Panissa, golden and delicious, moving on to the scenic and refreshing Cappon Magro, rich in vegetables and seafood. Unmissable are the Mandilli al Pesto—delicate, paper-thin sheets of pasta wrapped in a fragrant pesto prepared according to tradition, just as one would expect in this city. The great classics are also present, such as linguine with seafood—rich and flavorful—and Stoccafisso alla Ligure, a dish with an intense, homely taste that tells the authentic soul of local cuisine.

And to end on a sweet note, the Pinolata is a must: fragrant and delicate, best enjoyed with a good espresso—the perfect finale for a lunch or dinner in good company.
