All the flavour of Tuscany is in Focacciatella's ‘schiacciate’

If you too believe that Italian gastronomy has no competitor, the place we are about to discover has the potential to become one of your favourites. Have you heard of schiacciciata? It is a typical focaccia from the Tuscan area that is slowly baked in the oven, resulting in a spongy dough full of flavour. At Focacciatella, a charming little restaurant in Alicante’s Mercado neighbourhood, they prepare these delicious breads with the best Italian ingredients, imported directly from small producers in Tuscany. The result? Wonders like the schiacciata Firenze, with tender Tuscan salami, sundried tomatoes, intense pecorino cheese and grilled peppers. If you’re already salivating, don’t miss their menu, it’s quite a show. They also have vegan options and typical Italian drinks and desserts - long live Italy and long live carbs!
