Caffè Letterario delle Erbe, Genoa

In Piazza delle Erbe, one of the most popular squares of the historical centre, a 1920 antique bookshop has been turned into a literary café. The Caffè Letterario delle Erbe was recently opened and maintains the light blue wooden windows and the shelves filled with antique books. Besides having coffee or cappuccino, literary enthusiasts can leaf through the books while enjoying a good glass of wine. Salads, cheeses and other cold plates with original combination of ingredients are available at lunch. Aperitif with a huge selection of appetizers is served from 5 to 9 in the evening. In summer you can sit outside in the square near the fountain. Literary events are held quite often including book reviews, readings, and best-selling authors introducing their work. - Maria Frullini
