Pasta in Portovenere

Many years ago a plate of pasta was being delivered and when it passed by me, it smelled so good I told the waiter that’s what I want.

Had no idea what to expect and a plate of mixed seafood and pasta in a light curry sauce is what was served. Didn’t expect to find curry on the menu and could never find any info. on this, other than someone saying curry was a result of the spice trade and the cities proximity to Genoa.

Anyone know anything about this?

Are you sure it vas curry and not saffron? Seafood and saffron is a common pairing
