Pizzeria Senese,
The art of pizza in the Town of Flowers

30 June 2021

A place that goes beyond the Neapolitan tradition, offering new-topping pizzas made with passion.

Famous for its Italian Song Festival, the classic Milan-San Remo, and its beaches, San Remo is the most sought-after destination in the Riviera dei Fiori.
A young restaurateur, Giovanni Senese, reunited with the sun and joy of his Naples in this fascinating Ligurian town when he decided to open his first restaurant.
A stone's throw from the longest cycle path along the sea in Europe and a few minutes from the historic center, a contemporary style Pizzeria Senese has an internal room and an outdoor area for 170 people.
The philosophy of this place is to go beyond the tradition (Neapolitan) by offering high-quality and new-topping pizzas.
Paying tribute to the land he comes from and the land where he has settled is another specialty of the owner who enjoys serving excellent food with a focus on Slow Food principles.

The menu brings together intense and balanced flavors, but there is more to it than that. Each pizza tells a story and an emotion, such as "My childhood memory" pizza with cod, red and yellow papacelle bell peppers, tomato confit, green olive, and annurca apple puddings.
"La mia Orto Synergico" pizza is one of the most characteristic pizzas on the menu. Depending on the season it may be topped with bell peppers, artichokes, peas, trombetta zucchini, Campania broccoli, or pumpkin flowers. All these vegetables are home-grown in a vegetable garden directly managed by the pizzeria, its great pride!
The classic pizzas are always on the menu. Their reworked Quattro Formaggi pizza (four kinds of cheese pizza) has no tomatoes and uses cow's milk mozzarella with Castelmagno cream, ricotta cream with brigasca sheep cheese, turnip powder, figs, pears, and ginger compotes.
Note that one of the three ovens is dedicated to gluten-free options to satisfy their guests' most special needs.
Alongside the amazing pizzas, you will find an oil list that brings together oils from different regions of Italy. The desserts are inspired by tradition. Try their classic Neapolitan rum baba in a jar and the delizia al limone (lemon tart).
Their extensive wine list includes selected labels from Piedmont to Campania, making a stop in Liguria. The restaurant serves Millennium Water - Antica Fonte della Salute, pure water with an elegant bottle design.
Pizzeria Senese is an edgy place, collaborating with starred chefs, such as Vincenzo Guarino, and offering tasting events to savor its seasonal pizzas served with wisely paired wines and beers, and Neapolitan pastries.
When you love what you do, it is easy to win people’s love, and Giovanni Senese adds a dash of passion to every pizza he makes.
