Spaghetti with clams from Buca di SAN. Matteo

Gli spaghettoni alle vongole della Buca di San Matteo a Genova

Spaghettoni with clams from Buca di San Matteo in Genoa.
My wife's favorite Italian dish is probably pasta, or rather spaghetti, with clams.
When we eat at a restaurant she almost always orders this dish.
Some time ago we were in the center of Genoa and we had lunch at this excellent restaurant, Buca di San Matteo, and she enjoyed this dish of spaghettoni (which if I remember correctly were Senatore Cappelli) with clams and bottarga. Really good!

Fresh tagliolini with truffle tasted in Genoa

Dei tagliolini fresci al tartufo gustati a Genova

Fresh tagliolini with truffles enjoyed in Genoa.
I have become a truffle lover quite recently but now, every time I find it on a menu, I order it.
Some time ago I was with my wife in the historic center of Genoa and we went to lunch at this famous restaurant.
Aside from the very refined atmosphere, taking advantage of the very old premises where the tables are, I must say that the menu was excellent and these fresh tagliolini with truffles were truly delicious!

A truffle is the fruiting body of an underground Ascomycota fungus. Most truffles belong to the genus Tuber, but there are also other genera of fungi belonging to this category including Geopora, Peziza, Choiromyces, Leucangium and over a hundred others. Truffles belong to the class Pezizomycetes and, with a few exceptions, to the order Pezizales. Truffles are mycorrhizal fungi, and therefore grow close to the roots of trees. The dispersal of truffle spores occurs thanks to mycophages, animals that feed on mushrooms.

The construction of a chapel was desired by the population of the hamlet of Velva and expressed their intention to the rector of the parish of San Torpete in Genoa, Monsignor Luigi Persoglio, who stayed in Velva during the summer. The latter suggested the idea of ​​building a sanctuary. The works for the construction of the new place of worship in Velva were entrusted to the architect Maurizio Dufour during the 19th century, who had already created several architectural works in Genoa and Liguria. During the construction, a first wooden group of the Madonna della Guardia by the sculptor Antonio Canepa was made in 1892.
