(Palazzo Ducale, Piazza Giacomo Mateotti 9; snacks from €4; 8am-8pm) It's a testament to Italy's
unswerving gastronomic quality that even the museum cafes are top-notch. M-Cafe in the
grand lobby of the Palazzo Ducale is regularly frequented by people who have no inten-
tion of browsing the exhibits. Abundant servings of apertifs arrive at 6pm-ish. There are
additional branches in the Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Reale.

and prawns, or a seafood mixed grill.

(Piazza delle Erbe 15-17; cones from €2; 11am-1am Mon-Thu & Sun, to 2am Fri & Sat) There are at
least a dozen contenders for the 'best ice cream in Genoa' mantle, but if you like your
gelato creamy, look no further than this outlet in agreeably shabby Piazza delle Erbe that
snares late-night diners and boozers on their way home from the pubs.
