Eating – Cinque Terre

The typical dishes of the Cinque Terre are very essential and simple, they maintain unaltered their natural perfume and taste. Cinque Terre main course is seafood: breams, anchovy, squids, you can have it grilled, fried or roasted. They’re always delicious. All the specialties are often enriched with aromatics herbs, that grow in all the territory, such as: marjoram, oregano and thyme. Moreover we must not forget the olive oil which is an other typical product of this territory. Cinque Terre’s food is suitable for vegetarians too, vegetables are important ingredients of these dishes. For example you can eat a delicious minestrone soup prepared with Swiss chards, artichokes, cabbages, leeks and potatoes. We suggest you drink the white wine, that is an other typical product of the area, and at the end of your meal drink a glass of Sciachetrà, (it’s a wine “passito”, strong sweet wine made with raisins), it helps digestion and it’s very good too.
