"Over the past three weeks, my husband and I have eaten at Alla Vecchia Maniera five times (well, technically once we took the farinata to go . Utterly charming, it 's a cozy, family-run business that 's occupied this spot of the centro storico of Finale Ligure for over forty years (the current family has been operating it for the last twenty . Tomorrow evening will mark our last meal there before we leave Finale for other points in Italy. I am sad just thinking about it... Farinata is something Americans don 't know. You have to spend time in Piedmont or Liguria to get to know this chickpea based savory pancake delight, often served with fresh-ground pepper atop. I first tasted it five years ago in Torino. But the stuff made in-house at Alla Vecchia Maniera is far and away the best I 've ever had. My Torinese husband and mother-in-law agree. Behind the main piazza and a few steps down from the cathedral of Finale, the sign above the door reads, simply, FARINATA VINI. Go there. As many times as you possibly can. And bring an appetite. Thursday through Sunday ONLY. There are just nine tables. Reservations strongly recommended and because the Italians don 't turn tables the way Americans do, best to arrive right when they start serving at 7:30 PM."
