The ancient “Sa Pésta” was originally a place for the sale of salt which from “coarse” was refined for the convenience of the buyers. In the Middle Ages, the Municipality of Genoa decreed that bread and wine were also subjected to a monopoly; therefore the “peddling” activity of the “Sa Pésta” soon extended to the retail sale of these basic necessities and in a short time also to a quick restaurant.
It was in this way that one of the oldest places was born where vegetable pies and other popular specialties were cooked. In particular, the “farinata” was prepared, which in the 15th century was called “scripilita” in Latin due to its typical crackling in the “testo” (tinned copper pan) during cooking over a wood fire. The ancient name also extended to the owner called “O Sa Pésta”.

Our menu full of tradition, taste and simplicity is born from the passion for the flavors of home cooking. At the Locanda you will find the best cheese focaccia in the city, fresh pasta, pesto, walnut sauce, meat and fish. All with quality ingredients. Next to Colombo’s house and Porta Soprana.
Cheese focaccia is an ancient Ligurian recipe, loved and imitated. It consists of two very thin layers of unleavened dough made exclusively with 00 flour, water, extra virgin olive oil, salt, stuffed with soft cheese. Focaccia with cheese originates from the municipality of Recco and has its origins at the time of the Crusades when the peasants who took refuge in the hinterland escaped the attacks of the corsairs.

The “flagship” products are La Strakkino, La Moreskina (also in the BIG and BIG Special versions with gourmet ingredients) and La Taskina, which have been joined by numerous desserts as well as the delicious Fokaccette filled with cheese. Whatever the proposed product, the common denominator remains the high quality of the raw materials used. The preparation always takes place on the spot and on sight with extreme care both for the dough and for the presentation to the public.
Open from Monday to Saturday from 12 to 15.30 and from 19 to 23.
