Focacceria Revello — Restaurant in Camogli

This is really Focaccia heaven. We didn't have much time and the line was long. But we really needed to try a bit here.

They got lots of other items which all look good and surely a place to come back to. But this time we went for the classic Focaccia. And that was possibly the best one we've had so far. Really lives up to the hype.

It's so soft and fluffy. Got the right texture - which isn't easy to get. You'll need some really good starter yeast, the older the better. And they surely got some good stuff here in the kitchen.

It's a bit sweet, it's a bit salty. It's just got the right balance. You could top it with some ingredients. But to really taste it - at least the first time - just eat it like that. It's divine.

We'll definitely be back here for more. And...

Nice "foccacceria" just in front of the sea. You can buy affordable slices of "focaccia ligure" and eat on the benches under the umbrellas, which will shelter you from the sun in the hottest hours.

There are different toppings you can choose from, but you must try the "Focaccia Semplice" which is the normal one with simply oil and salt, and the "Focaccia Genovese" with the delicious Recco cheese on it.

Pay attention at what you are ordering, names are often misunderstood and you may name one topping and get another.

"Camogliesi" are also a must! They are small local treats, a bit expensive (32€/kg)...

The staff are a little abrupt; not the usual friendly italian service. The gluten free focaccia is a wet sloppy mess that doesn’t look or taste anything like focaccia. It’s more like two large thin square rice noodles with runny ricotta type cheese inside. The taste was ok but it wasn’t pleasant to eat - it is served in a sealed plastic bag that is impossible to open without a scissors or knife (not so easy when you’re on the go). There are many bakeries in Italy offering GF focaccia that both looks and tastes like the gluten equivalent, so I’m not sure why this bakery is choosing to serve...
