For a genuine, no-nonsense taste of Genova, this is your stop. The perfection lies in simplicity: a perfect cappuccino alongside a crisp, cheese-filled focaccia di Recco, served without pretense. Both the Cappuccino con Focaccia Genovese and the Focaccia di Recco are praised, all at a very reasonable price.

Reviewers rave about the Focaccia di Recco, a crispy, cheese-filled marvel that steals the show. The overall vibe is warm and rustic, celebrating simple, high-quality Italian comfort food.
“A focaccina has arrived, a very hot topic: focaccia di Recco. Focaccia di Recco with cheese is an IGP. Here in Genoa almost all bakeries have focaccia with cheese like Recco, they write it correctly because certain parameters must be respected to call it focaccia di Recco IGP. Focaccia di Recco should be eaten in Recco. We tasted focaccia di Recco in Recco and it's something that makes you fall on your face. That said, in this two-day Genoese trip we don't have time to go there, but the guys here at Fratellini Inadotti have focaccia di Recco. There's a focaccia di Recco that has been half-cooked and they finish it in the oven here, so it seems like a good compromise if one doesn't have time to show it to you in the video, but I repeat, if you have time make a trip to Recco and finish all the production of the Recco bakeries. And it's good. Obviously, as we said, it went through two passes, it had a pre-cooking and finishes in the oven, so the difference is felt compared to one just out of the oven, but what can I tell you? In Recco I would have given it a 10, here I give it an 8 anyway, so a fantastic thing. Crunchy outside, very soft inside. The cheese that melts, it's a crazy pleasure, then it's hot. What goodness. But if we did this they'd put us in jail. Double layer, double lust. Lust with honors. Very good. Breakfast that turned into lunch. Recommended place. The two brother owners are also very competent. For two cappuccinos, two strips of focaccia, and a whole tray of focaccia di Recco, we spent €15.”

Cappuccino con Focaccia Genovese
We're at Caffetteria Fratelli Inadotti. We could have taken many things here at Fratelli Inadotti: pancakes, waffles, croissants, there's a bit of everything, but well when we get the chance we do it again: cappuccino with focaccia. First of all, the second bar that uses the focaccia from Panificio Claretta for dipping. It makes me think that this being a bit crunchier rightly goes better with dipping. And secondly, for you non-Genoese listening, the fact that we're doing it again means that it's not that when we say focaccia with cappuccino is good to thank the Genoese, it's just that it's good. It's all against nature: salt, oil, in coffee with milk, with cocoa, but well, it's good.
