Ho preso la brioscia con la granita al pistacchio... brioche buonissima, chiaramente artigianale, bella calda grazie alla piastra riscaldata che a Genova si usa raramente, e granita dalla consistenza ottimale, ma lo zucchero sovrasta totalmente il pistacchio, che non si sente per niente, ed è un vero peccato.

This granita feels like a trip to Sicily!! I had never found such genuine granita outside of Sicily and I can’t recommend it enough

Just came for the savoury snacks to take away - aranchini and a few other bits. €4 each but heavy and well filled. Friendly staff.
