Step into a true symbol of Genoese street food: the sciamadda, whose name in dialect literally means “fiammata” (flame burst).
These small, intimate spaces, often with few tables to share, were centered around an ancient wood-fired oven, always alight, where the local specialties were cooked: the classic farinata (chickpea tart), assorted fried fish, and the traditional torte verdi (vegetable pies).
Historically, sciamadde were the favorite lunch spots for workers, especially fishermen and dockers and were almost always located near the port. They were more than just eateries: they were gathering places, where people shared meals, stories and wine after long days of work.
During this hands-on session we’ll prepare and enjoy three seasonal specialties together, accompanied by a glass of local wine and a sweet final surprise.
