Let’s go to Recco
Let’s go to Recco to taste his famous Italian flatbread focaccia (with the recipe).
You can reach Recco by car via the A12 motorway (Autostrada Azzurra), which connects Genoa to La Spezia. Here’s how:
From Genoa: Take the A12 motorway towards La Spezia/Livorno and exit at Recco. The drive takes about 30 minutes.
From La Spezia: Follow the A12 motorway towards Genoa and take the Recco exit. The drive is about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Easily reachable on foot from Camogli, Recco is located in a small bay with the colours of the Paradise Gulf.
A town badly damaged during the Second World War, it was rebuilt immediately after the war.
Numerous churches, shops and bars.
The main characteristic of Recco is its gastronomy. Its restaurants are excellent.
Famous is the “Focaccia di Recco”, baked product obtained by the processing of wheat flour, water and salt, rolled into the dough and then stuffed with a particular fresh cheese. Extra virgin olive oil to complete.
It is certainly better to eat it on the plate, but, with a little “balance”, you can also taste it wrapped.
The important thing, if you go to Recco, is to taste it.
