This circular harbor on the Gulf Paradiso belongs to the resort town of Ricco, Italy. Colorful houses punctuate the lush, green cliffs overhanging the Ligurian Sea. Tragically, Recco was almost completely destroyed during bombings in World War II. The community is famous for focaccia col formaggio. The delicious treat consists of stracchino (a local cream cheese) sandwiched between thin dough and baked for about eight minutes. Manuelina’s family restaurant has served it since the 19th century.
