Ligurian focaccia: around Imperia and its surroundings, in search of the best focaccia!

1. Panetteria Bakery Lanteri – Via Ospedale, 57 Imperia

Recently included among the 5 best focaccias in Liguria, the only one in the Western part! This is a traditional bakery in the historic centre of Oneglia, recently renovated and open to the public also as gastronomy and cafeteria. The smile of the staff and the quality of the products will conquer your heart!

2. Panetteria Blengini – Via S. Giovanni, 10 Imperia

A historic shop on Piazza San Giovanni in Oneglia, the Blengini bakery has been for generations the meeting point for us kids for the afternoon snack. There are two most popular options: the simple focaccia and the one stuffed with cooked ham and cheese. It was the latter that made my teenage Saturday afternoons unforgettable. If you don’t see it when you get to the counter, don’t forget to ask how long it is until the next one to be baked, take a stroll, and go back to enjoy it hot!
