Pane e Tulipani

Genoa


Hectic times rule at this poetically named bakery: everyone wants what they're selling. Drop by any time for one of their several varieties of focaccia or make a Saturday date when there are two drops (10.30am and 3.30pm) of half-price pizza margherita, a steal at €6.50. Their kamut loaves and breads from other ancient grains are also worth trying.
