. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

as you can see, evenings in camogli were incredible.

and the best part? the prospect of dinner ahead… i had one meal at cucina di nonna nina which is in san rocco (mentioned yesterday), where everything is made in-house, and i had a plate of ravioli di pesce (seafood ravioli) that made my eyes roll back in my head. another night, after negronis by the harbor, we had dinner at ristorante da paolo in the center of camogli. some house vino bianco, followed by more hand-made pasta, and then i ordered a whole local fish baked in salt. it was swiftly and expertly de-boned at the table by that lady you see above, an older, kind woman who was clearly running the place. i felt like i was eating in the home of someone’s nonna.

these restaurants are unassuming, there’s nothing fancy, but they’re welcoming and vibrant. the focus is on the food, as it should be.
