"The first very important aspect of Genoa ... the city seems to be separated from the rest of the world and made absolutely for freedom ... the sea is a friend of freedom.
All peoples that are really free have always lived at the sea".
Anne–Louise–Germaine Necker Stael–Holstein
In the heart of the old town "Lupo Antica Trattoria by Vico Monachette" looks like an old Genoese house divided into three small cozy and informal rooms, one of which is a true living room for single table dedicated to the painter Aurelio Caminati: you can admire one of his masterpieces.
The restaurant dates back to the thirties of the twentieth century, was founded as a wine bar frequented by sailors.
In 1997 Mary and Guido began their management becoming immediately recognized beyond the borders of the town for the peculiar combination of Ligurian tradition and creative cuisine, in which dishes and Genoese flavors are reinterpreted and reinvented through the recovery of specific cultural aspects of local history. A creative dialogue between tradition and modernity reigns, with which to explore hidden aspects of the local culture in a friendly and renovated way, now present in the international culinary guides.
