Over weeks of walking and traveling by train around the region, Â there has been no lack of fairy tale vistas, Â world heritage palazzos and dramatic seaside villages.
Just on the outskirts of Genoa is Nervi, a 1.60 euro 15 minute train ride from Principio, the main station down the block from my hotel.
Vistas, check!
A sea wall carved from the mountains and paved with brick.
A world away from the world away, check!
A woman-owned bistro, check!
Home made focaccia hot from the oven. Â Gratis wine, because I look like Ineed a glass.
Elegant desserts in two sizes, all decorated with the bisro’s signature wafer.  And salads!  After weeks of pasta first courses, it will be a while before I consume a once-favorite food.  I was ready to commit a crime for a salad. I choose one featuring local anchovies. And corn!
My last day will be spent with the ladies, sitting, sewing, and enjoying this sweet spot.
