ABOUT US
A PROJECT, A PASSION, A FRIENDSHIP
CAMUGIN IS A DREAM COME TRUE
Camugin was born in 2013 from the idea of a group of Genoese friends Gianluca Pezzotti and his sister Federica Pezzotti - passionate about cooking - and the professional chef Riccardo Nobile.
Our goal is to revive, every day of the year, the flavor and atmosphere of one of the oldest and most evocative festivals in Liguria: the Camogli Fish Festival. Since 1952, every second Sunday of May, the seaside village has celebrated its patron saint, San Fortunato, with a spectacular event: in the picturesque Piazza Colombo, next to the marina, an enormous pan fries about 30,000 portions of fish, attracting visitors from all over Italy and abroad.
Camugin – which in dialect means "citizen of Camogli" – carries on this tradition all year round, transforming it into a unique gastronomic experience that combines taste, history and conviviality. Because Camugin is not just food: it is a story of the sea, culture and passion that continues to live, dish after dish.
CAMUGIN IS TRADITION, QUALITY AND PASSION Cooking with love, selecting genuine ingredients, and rediscovering authentic flavours: this is Camugin.
TRADITION
A story that continues, that creates bonds, that is passed down over time. Because tradition is more than just a memory: it is the way we express who we are, with passion and dedication in everything we do.
QUALITY
The kind we deserve, made with the finest products from our land, selected with care and love. Because good food is not only a pleasure, but also a source of well-being.
Camugin tells our story aboard a Piaggio Ape transformed into a true itinerant Genoese sciamadda. We travel the streets of the city, bringing people the most authentic and genuine street food, which smells of tradition and tells the flavour of Liguria.
A street food that is enjoyed as it once was: walking through the alleys, in front of the sea, in a park or among the buildings of the city. A journey into taste that unites past and present, for a moment of true refreshment.
CAMUGIN: STYLE, IDENTITY AND PASSION
Camugin wants to give street food the value it deserves, transforming it into an authentic taste experience, with style, identity and credibility. Because street food is not only fast, but can also be delicious and refined.
With Camugin you can savor the world of ancient flavors of the Ligurian Riviera: the scent of the sea of Camogli, the soul of its carruggi, the tradition that lives in every bite.
