Perfect Summer Escape - Portofino!

Posted on 20 maggio 2015




Hi sweeties!

Unfortunately I'm not able to post very much these weeks... I'm very busy but I'm trying to organize and plan my agenda in order to save a couple of hours per week to dedicate to this blog (and to my Facebook, Polyvore and Instagram pages as well ;)).

These are two pics I took last Saturday while in
Portofino.



In case you've planned to visit Portofino this Summer don't forget to take a swimsuit with you and to take at least 1h to lay on the beach of Paraggi or on one of the well-hidden beaches on the road that leads to Portofino and its famous restaurants and boutiques!

Third anniversary: romantic dinner

Posted on 5 marzo 2015

Hi there! 
These are the pics of the surprise my boyfriend organised yesterday to celebrate our third anniversary.
He took me to a Restaurant "La Buca di San Matteo" in the famous "vicoli" of our city, Genoa.
He booked the privé room of the restaurant, an old well where you can dinner with your partner in a very romantic atmosphere, surrounded by the light of candles and with a transparent floor which enables to view the water flowing.
It was such a beautiful surprise and the food was excellent, from starters to desserts, wine included!
I definetely recommend this place ;)

Streetfood: The best Km 0 hamburger in Genoa!

Posted on 10 luglio 2014

Today I dedicate a posti to Streetfood
This hamburger is actually the best I've ever tried in my hometown Genoa! Everything, from the bread (I must add that for those who love bread as much as me - "Carbs? Who cares ;)"- is pure poetry) to the salad, the tomatoes and of course the meat are Km 0 products! Plus, if you are vegan you can always opt for a veg hamburger!
This is actually my favourite, crazy lunch when I have no inspiration for cooking or time to go to a bar or restaurant during my breaks!
The place to remember is "Il Masetto" here is the Facebook link: 
Il Masetto - Hamburgeria Nazionale
You can find it in the amazing "caruggi"/"vicoli" of Genoa, the old centre of the city.
P.S. Every month a new special hamburger is created: this month it's the turn of "Amigu Charlie": the classical hamburger is filled with fresh avogado, guacamole, red lettuce and lime!
If you're planning to visit Genoa here is a must-visit place to go! ;)

Genoese Cronuts!!!

Posted on 20 febbraio 2014

Hi everyone it's a bit late for breakfast but I can definetely say that it's always time for a Cronut!
As you know Dominique Ansel is the inventor of this delicious croissant-doughnut hybrid. 
Magazines report that at Dominique's shop in New York the queue of people waiting to taste them it's incredibly long.
I thought I had to wait until my first (not yet programmed) journey to the States to taste one of these desserts but a couple of days ago I found that a local coffee - bakery "Pasticceria Liquoreria Marescotti di Cavo" in the old centre of my town cook and sells them! :D
So here they are :) 
Me and my boyfriend ate these two cronuts filled with cream (but they're also available with a chocolate filling).
What about the taste? So good, I didn't expect them to be so delicious!
I think the genovese air and a bakery with an old tradition always make a difference ;)

Here are the pics of the babies ;) and of the the amazing restaurant - bakery - lounge bar.

P.S. I can't wait to try those with chocolate! :
