Focaccia all’olio genovese: typical Ligurian food.
The typical dish par excellence of Liguria: focaccia all’olio (fugassa).
If you go into a bar for breakfast here you can find all types of warm croissants but, above all, it: focaccia. The taste of cappuccino combined with the saltiness of the focaccia is incredibly good.
A tip for tourists: it is good almost everywhere but the best in Sestri, for me, was Tosi’s at the end of the straight alley of Sestri Levante which unfortunately no longer exists.

Tell me which one is the best in your opinion?

Genoese focaccia (in Ligurian a fugässa) is a typical specialty of Ligurian cuisine: approximately one centimeter high, golden/amber in color and with well-marked alveoli, it stands out because before the final leavening it is brushed with an emulsion made of extra virgin olive oil, water and coarse salt.
