Best Wine Bar in Genoa

Our purpose in visiting Genoa, Italy was to pick up our car that we would drive for the next two weeks throughout Italy. Genoa was more enjoyable than we anticipated.

We arrived at the train station and took a taxi through winding and extremely busy streets to the airport to pick up our car.

Genoa was so much larger and more industrial than I thought. For some reason I thought it was a sleepy seaside town. It was a huge shipping port.

This cruise shipped docked in Genoa has a picture of Super Woman on the side.

Unfortunately the car was not ready so our first meal in Genoa was in the airport. Not ideal, but not stressful. Finally the car was ready and we were on our way. After settling into our hotel, we headed out in search of some good Italian food and/or wine. LOL

This was the view of Genoa from the street where our hotel was located.

Hubby D did a search for “Best Wine Bars in Genoa” and found several with great reviews. We chose the one closest to our hotel and set off to find it.

For each city we visited Hubby D downloaded a map of the area so we could find our way around without using data on our phones. This worked beautifully!  He is so smart!  (Or, maybe I am uninformed…)

We had some problems with street names but finally came across this alley where the wine bar was located. Unfortunately it was not open yet.

So, we peered in the windows to see if we thought it would be what we wanted. The owner saw us and came to the door and urged us inside. It was perfect!

Interesting fact about this wine bar. They have a chalkboard where they constantly update the wines they are serving.

It was not fancy but the lasagna was good and the wines were great.

Unknown to us there was a chocolate fair in town right in front of a large fountain. I believe everyone with a motorbike in Genoa was in attendance.

More motorcycles parked in one place than I have ever seen.

We slowly browsed the stalls filled with every kind of chocolate imaginable.

After selecting one tasty morsel each for a bedtime snack, we found our way back to the hotel. Tomorrow we leave for our drive to Como and the Lake District of Italy.

This fountain was located just opposite the chocolate fair. It was very pretty and just down right romantic.

Cheers,
