This picture was taken at a restaurant in Genova Italy
I was invited to dinner by a group of photographers I met while photographing an Italian world cup win. This was my actual dinner and the menu. I decided to take a couple of pictures of the table where we sat.
Here’s a great website with lots of pictures about food in Genova and throughout Liguria… as you can guess there are lots of Pasta dishes
Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about the cuisine of Genova
“Popular foods local to Genoa include pesto, focaccia, farinata, stoccafisso (stockfish), and salsa di noci (walnut sauce). Pasta (usually trofie) al Pesto, is probably the most symbolic of Genoese meals. Pesto sauce is made with fresh basil, pine nuts, grated parmesan, garlic, olive oil pounded together.[31] Another popular dish which is common to Genoa is the minestrone, a thick soup made out of several vegetables and legumes, such as potatoes, aubergines and courgettes.[32] Other soup dishes which are common to the city include the fish-consisting buridda, La Sbirra, and prepoggion.” Wikipedia
