Ginger mignonette. Each $3

These oyster were lovely – small, clean, and delicious. I just wish there were more of them, but sadly I can’t always afford what my stomach wants. LOL!

Green olive focaccia – Moka Cafe
Moka Cafe, Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA)
I didn’t like this very much. It was cold, soggy, limp, and super oily. Usually I like anything with olives on it, but this wasn’t my favorite. 😦
Afternoon snack – Bar Via dell’ Amore
Prosecco, red wine, potato chips, cookies, and cracker mix.
Bar Via dell’ Amore, Manarola ITALY
The view from this cliff-side bar was simply amazing! It looked down into the Liguran Sea. It was a great place to sit down, relax, and enjoy this afternoon snack.
Rita Moreno burger – Harvey’s
Jalapenos, pepper jack cheese, cilantro, and guacamole. Served with French fries. $13.50
Harvey’s, San Francisco CA
This burger was decent. I don’t expect much from Harvey’s actually, and I only go when my friends force em too, but at least the burger wasn’t dry. I will say that their fries are pretty good though.
Patatas bravas – El Berro
Variat de tapes €15
El Berro, Barcelona SPAIN
These were super tasty, and the potatoes weren’t greasy at all. Noms!
Ham and cheese panini – Bar Il Boccone
€3.50
Bar Il Boccone, Pisa ITALY
I know this isn’t a panini, but I forgot what they called it – oops! It tasted great though and I liked the buttery crust and the dense center.
Hot and sweet chicken wings – Kokio Republic
Mixed chicken (wings and boneless) with topped with sesame seeds, almond, and parsley. Served with kimchi fried rice balls with bacon, topped with Parmesan cheese, creamy sriracha, sour cream, and parsley flakes. Combo $13.75
Kokio Republic, San Francisco CA
I love these wings and fried kimchi balls because they just burst with flavor. But I can’t talk to anyone for the rest of the day because they are SO garlicky, lol! It’s also a great value since I really can’t eat these all in one sitting.
Amarena and caffe gelato – Gelateria 5 Terre
Gelateria 5 Terre, Manarola ITALY
This gelato tasted good, but it certainly was the smallest cup I’d ever seen. I especially liked the amarena flavor though.
Lasagne al forno alla Norma – Caffe Degli Specchi
With eggplant, Puglia ricotta, mozzarella, and tomato. €10
Caffe Degli Specchi, Genoa ITALY
Mmm, I loved this lasagna! It was SO cheesy-gooey and the sauce was delicious! I could’ve eaten an entire pan of this. NOMS!
Dutch crunch bbq pork buns – Mister Jiu’s
$11
Mister Jiu’s, San Francisco CA
These were definitely different from regular pork buns with the Dutch crunch exterior. I really liked the pork filling, but I wasn’t sold on the exterior since it ended up on the dry side.
Tricolore bruschette – Nessun Dorma
Tomatoes, stracchino cheese, pesto, basil. €9
Nessun Dorma, Manarola ITALY
Omg, this was delicious! And there was SO much of it! I loved the pesto and it the whole thing just tasted fresh and wonderful. The bread was also very hearty so it made for quite the meal.
House red wine.
Speck and brie ravioli – AC Hotel Genova
With butter and sage. €9
AC Hotel Genova, Genoa ITALY
This was actually pretty good! I liked the sage flavor that came through, and the pasta was cooked nice and al dente.
