A tavern on the inland route, where people went to play morra and to drink. The first patrons were the commanders of ships, from Camogli, Bogliasco and Sori, who made its reputation known. During the Belle Époque, it was discovered by the industrialists Ansaldo, Costa and Dufour, on holiday on the Riviera; in 1960-70, its gastronomic contests brought fame to the trofie and cheese focaccia of Recco and it was a haunt of theatre actors on tour in Genoa: Pani, Scotti, Buazzelli, Fabrizi and Villaggio were all loyal guests. Now a citadel of cuisine and home to the Premio Rebora gastronomy award, it is run by the fourth generation of the founder Manuelina.
