In Genoa, pesto isn’t just a sauce—it’s a legacy. Brent dives into the city’s food scene to uncover the best pesto in town (including one version with a very unexpected ingredient). Between bites, he tackles pandolce, hops aboard a bizarre train to a castle, drinks decadent hot chocolate, investigates Christopher Columbus’ questionable birthplace, and ends the day with some seriously spicy Kenyan food. This Genoa food crawl gets weird—in the best way.
Genoa might be gritty, but its street food is pure magic 🇮🇹
Brent dives into the rough-and-tumble streets of Genoa to hunt down the city’s most iconic eats — from crispy chickpea farinata baked in a 200-year-old oven, to classic Ligurian focaccia, and sweet little treats like a mini cannolo you can eat in two bites.
Along the way, there’s a local drink named after a donkey, a search for a good-luck sculpture, and plenty of delicious surprises hiding in plain sight. This is real Italian street food — simple, historic, and insanely good.
If you love authentic food, old-school bakeries, and exploring cities through what locals actually eat, this one’s for you 🍽️✨
