Pasta Fresca Morena

Fresh Pasta from the Market Hall for Home Cooking

12 km from Airole

Not a restaurant, but a producer – yet for everyone who wants to cook in their vacation apartment, one of the best addresses in the region. Morena makes fresh pasta daily, by hand.

There's a small shop in the center of Ventimiglia, a stand in the covered market (Mercato Coperto). The selection is large: classic tagliatelle, filled ravioli with various fillings, and Ligurian specialties – Pansotti (pasta pockets with herb filling, traditionally served with walnut sauce) and Trofie, the twisted pasta for pesto.

The pasta is made the same day. The cooking time accordingly short, the taste different from dried pasta. Paired with pesto from the market hall, olive oil from one of the local producers, a glass of Vermentino.

Practical Information

On Friday, there is a big market day in Ventimiglia - accordingly crowded, accordingly difficult to park. The train is then the better choice (10 minutes from Airole). The market hall is also open on other days, with less crowds.

Best Time to Visit

Year-round, Monday through Saturday. Those who want to avoid Friday's hustle and bustle can come on a different day - the quality remains the same, the peace greater.
