Toe Drue History
The restaurant was founded in the early ‘900 to accommodate the workers of the nearby Shipyards. The story tells that just in front of the restaurant was built the famous transatlantic Rex, flagship of the Italian Navy.
The origin of the name “Toe Drûe” (Thick Tables) derives from the tables still present inside the room, which even if restored over the years have retained all their grandeur and unquestionable elegance.
From the workers of the Cantieri Navali Ansaldo of Sestri Ponente many years have passed, from Trattoria, le Toe Drûe has become an important reference point of Genoa and Sestri Ponente, an informal and family environment but still a local sought for the proposed cuisine.
In October 2010, due to the terrible flood that hit the city that year, the local suffered numerous damages. The restaurant was completely renovated the following year and from April 2011 comes with this new look, a big rebirth for the restaurant and all the staff.
We tried to keep the same warm and familiar atmosphere that has always distinguished this place, taking care of the smallest details as always and offering customers a pleasant and tasteful environment, a perfect mix between tradition and avant-garde.
When Tradition and Taste meet at the table…
Excellent raw materials
Our philosophy is to always buy excellent raw materials and work them with skill and technique to create tasty, rich and presented with a bit of imagination.
A cuisine especially marinara, enhanced by fresh fish and traditional Genoese dishes: “Cappon Magro”, homemade “Pesto”, breaded anchovies and the typical fried “Panissa”.
Bread, pasta and desserts are strictly home-made by expert hands and the service is attentive but never invasive.
An author cellar
Our cellar offers a selection of wines of the highest level: labels from the best known and renowned cellars to small but excellent producers. In addition to our wine list, in the dining room, you will have the opportunity to choose between an excellent selection by the glass.
“Wine is the poetry of the Earth”. If you have chosen to order a bottle at the table and you can not finish it, well … do not be shy and take it home with you: as you do with a book, a precious book of poems to continue reading and tasting.
Wine is the Poetry of the Earth.
( Mario Soldati 1906-1999)
