"Focaccia (con pesto!) Turn down the little Via di Canneto, and you can't miss this focacceria on your left. The line will literally always be out the door, especially in the morning hours. But the wait is worth every minute (and the amazingly kind women working inside move fast!). While Focaccia e Dintorni makes a fantastic traditional focaccia alla Genovese, their extra-thin version smeared with pesto and dotted with oozy formaggio di crescenza is something else all together. Ask for a crispy edge piece (or un pezzo ben cotto in Italian)—the crunch is a great treat!"

The best focaccia in Genova! I tried two varieties and they were hot and fresh and delicious!! A great price too. The location is in a typical narrow alley of Genova, and as a popular place it does get a little crowded in the area, but well worth it! No seating but the steps of San Lorenzo aren’t far to have a sit while to eat. Highly recommend!

the focaccia was amazing, honestly some of the best i’ve ever had. the desserts were great too. prices are a bit high but you definitely pay for quality. there was a long queue (peak time) but it moved fairly quickly. the real issue is that the place is tiny, so while you’re stuck in line you can’t really see what’s on display. by the time it’s your turn you basically have to order on the spot without having had the chance to look properly. i get decision fatigue with too many options and i think that’s what led to some confusion. i ended up with two focaccia di recco instead of the pesto one i really wanted, even though i pointed it out while ordering. a shame, but the focaccia i did get was still excellent. i’m literally still thinking about it. as for desserts, the mattonella was tasty but a little dry. if you’re choosing something sweet, i’d recommend the baci di dama. those were excellent.

Hands down the best foccacia I’ve ever had! Flaky on the outside and super fluffy on the inside - just perfect! I’d highly recommend the plain foccacia - it’s so popular so likelihood is you’ll always get a slice that is fresh from the oven.

To be honest, I feel bad writing a review that may drive more business to this place.. they always have a line and it is always the best. Our host told us about it and we went several times during our visit. You every walk around new cities and see places that are deserted when other have long lines.. that is because locals know.. and this is one of those "long lines" places that is always worth it!

I want the recipes. The focaccia was AMAZING!!! Definitely not the regular pizza dough type you find elsewhere. It was so soft and delicious, with homey flavors and not overly thick. One of the kind shopkeepers explained everything I wanted to know (in italian) about the typical types and toppings associated with Genoa - not being local, I wanted to try what they eat most. She explained with such enthusiasm that I was ready to buy one of each 😂. Amazing service, amazing taste and amazing prices. The regular price is about 10-15 euros for a kilo depending on the toppings. Trust them to help you choose without questioning. I tried the classic (a must!) , pesto and cheese, chickpea flour one with onions (farinata, not a focaccia), and some tomato-prosciutto one (family member wanted it, not a typical genovese pick). In total it cost 13 euros - so like 3euros a piece. The rest of the pastries seemed so enticing as well. I wanted to go back but sadly I could only see Genoa for a day 🥲. 10/10 want them to open more locations throughout Italy.

Loved the place! We tried the traditional Pandolce Genovese and also there was one with another flavor so tried both and loved it. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was very welcoming and lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Incredible focaccias! You can’t miss it as the queue outside might be very long :)
