Visited this place for a quick bite of pizza while we were in Italy and it was awesome! Really good pizza and different selections! It has free wifi, good service and a younger atmosphere. They do only have a few different places to sit along...a bar and a couple tables i think but that is all.More

"The taste" of Farinata! Period!!!! Why? A 200 year old wood fire oven built to cook farinata. It has extra large "mouth" for receive extra large cooper plate forged exclusively to cook farinata. This farinata "sounds" good because it's crispy upside and soft downside. It...is bake with high wood fire and this gives its peculiar crisp. Fantastic!!!!!More

Very small place just off the main strip opposite a pharmacy. It is basically a selection of quiche type things however Italian style. So spinach and cheese. Potato. Socchi a chickpea sort of pancake thing. Zucchini. I can't remember them all but a bunch of...tarts laying around basically. There were also some deep fried tempura looking vegetables and battered fish as well. And a very thick soup thing. I think the latter is a local version of minestrone. A few chairs and a bemch inside but not much of a eat in place more grab n go. No idea on the pricing. Its very laid back. He asks how much you want him to cut off each thing and then it all gets weighed together on a scale. I bought 3 good portions of tart and it was 7 euros. He also seems to speak a bunch of languages and is a freindly guy taking the time to explain every item. I had heard from another person that this place was great and I found it to be different to expected (I was expecting french quiche) but I feel there is something about this place. I will certainly be going again. One thing i'm not sure on is things like soup and battered fish, whether they are served hot or not (all my items were served cold)... I don't think they are. It's bery local and certainly not trying to be fancy which I think is the whole attraction for me.More

This place sells Genovese specialties like farinata, different pies and focaccias made in antic ovens. They are super nice and according to my local friend if you want to try real traditional dishes this is the place to go. It was delicious.

First night in Genoa, we walked around the port area and found this great little place. Umberto the owner was really friendly and told us about all the different foods that were on display. We don't speak Italian but he speaks some English and we...managed nicely. We chose a selection (all vegetarian that was available but I think he makes meat based food as well) and it was all delicious! Total was just EU10 so this was great value. The shop is wonderful, a real bit of history. You should definitely go and find this place, it's well worth it.More

Great place to 'snack' Genovese style offering all types of savoury pastries and local foods. Check out the times of opening though!

Ligurian kitchen full of amazing cakes with vegetables, fish and other local ingredients-fillings! They are called: ‘farinate’, ‘focacce’, ‘torte’… They are so many, so authentic legurian, so unique and so tastely, that definitely ‘must taste’. Prepared in oven on a large baking pan. So, the...one thing that you need - is to find a right place for this. Traditional with high quality and well-known for loclas, simple... where people come to take a couple of pieces with them, or to eat here. Antica Sciamadda is exactly just the place to become familiar with one more wonderful and delicious page of ligurian and magnificent Italian kitchen!More
