Tips from locals
Small place in the center of Livorno. Simple and spartan in terms of furnishings and with home and family service. The strong point is the chickpea cake.
Every Italian town has its own street food. Livorno has "5 & 5" bread filled with a very special and tasteful "torta" as we call it in Livorno: chickpeas , water, salt cooked in a wood oven. Gagarin makes the best "torta in Town"
A Livorno è un'istituzione: il più famoso 5 e 5 (pane e torta di ceci)/A Livorno is an institution : the most famous 5&5 (bread and cake chickpeas )
Gagarin is famous worldwide to make the best "5&5" (Cinque e cinque). What is it? It's the typical local sandwich: chickpea flour cooked in oven, savory pie inside a hot and salt-free bread. The addition of black pepper and aubergines is recommended!
