90 year old Maria Tena, the chef and owner of Trattoria da Maria in Fano, continues to cook and only opens her restaurant when fishermen from her network catch fish that day. For me, it was truly one of the most special experiences in recent years—especially in times when such authentic places are fading away. This unassuming trattoria, adorned with quirky sculptures and eclectic music, is run by Maria and her daughter, Domenica Tamati. They offer an authentic Adriatic seafood experience, preparing only the freshest fish caught daily by three local boats. If there’s no catch, Maria won’t open the restaurant. Maria’s recipes are rooted in tradition, using minimal ingredients and techniques passed down from her aunt. The menu changes daily, featuring dishes such as traditional brodetto fish stew, polenta with clams or the fabulous steamed fish and crustaceans platter you can see in the pictures.

Making of Focaccia di Recco @revellocamogli1964, the only focaccia in Camogli that has the ‘IGP’ designation, or ‘Protected Geographical Indication.’ Focaccia di Recco is a traditional Italian flatbread from the Liguria region, celebrated for its thin, crispy texture and delicious filling of creamy stracchino cheese. Often baked with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt, it is typically served warm. This family-owned bakery has been operating since 1964 and even used to own a bakery in Tokyo. #focaccia #camogli #liguria #italy
