Easy Peasy

Simplicity and research

In May 2020, Marco Defra chose the historic center of Genoa for his bar, now a happy confirmation for the city and its residents. The name reflects a feeling of relaxation in an environment without superfluous elements. Easy Peasy’s mixing philosophy focuses on non-conventional drinks outside the more beaten paths here in Zêna (Genoa in the local dialect). Premium spirits pair to syrups, infusions, fat washes, clarifications, and the kind of ice most suited to the cocktail. The furnishing calls back to industrial style, and the bar spreads on two floors: the counter on the ground floor, a small room on the upper floor, and an alfresco area. The cocktails also use local products like rosemary, basil, amaro liqueurs, and a homemade gin flavored with Taggiasca olives. There’s special attention to the selection of alcohol-free drinks, designed and created by revising some of the classics of international cocktail mixing. There’s a good variety of spirits from all over the world, with a dedicated menu to taste them in purity.
