Ligurian street food: not just focaccia

The strength of Italy comes above all from its great culinary tradition: each region, or rather, each small town in the country offers unique specialities.

Street food has taken an increasing space in recent years with dozens of dedicated festivals: even the famous Salone del Gusto in Turin devotes an important space to food trucks that offer any type of takeaway dishes.
Surely you know that in Liguria focaccia is king, but what about all the other street food that our cities can offer? Since we are great foodies and street food fans, we have many to suggest.

Why not start from those places that remind us of our teenage years afternoons in Imperia?

These are the kings of Imperia’s street food, and to try them is a must:

1) The hot focaccia baked by the Blengini Bakery

It’s easy to find good, hot focaccia in the morning, but what about the rest of the day?
It is precious to have a snack with a hot “slerfa” (how locals call a focaccia slice) in your hands whenever you want: the Blengini bakery in Imperia can be recognized immediately by the long lines outside its door. Children and adults cannot resist the perfume that invades the nearby street. A stop here is a must.
