Your experience

We are Maria Elena and Nicola. Our passion for hospitality leads us to welcome guests to our home to put our knowledge of local cuisine at their disposal and let them enjoy specialties in a natural and welcoming setting. We will cook a typical menu: welcome drink by the pool with fried sage leaves and crostini with anchovies in Monterosso oil and artisanal butter. Next, freshly made egg noodles in front of your eyes and topped with basil pesto from our garden. To finish, traditional tiramisu and espresso or coffee made with the typical Italian "moka." The wine that will be offered will be strictly from the territory.

- This was one of our very favorite experiences on our recent vacation in Italy. We are a family of 5 (children are 16, 13, and 9) and we all loved the food, the setting, the hospitality, and conversation. Maria Elena and her husband were the best hosts. We loved sitting in their outdoor kitchen and learning about their culture. Maria Elena is an excellent cook. Our kids devoured her anchovies, fried squash blossoms, and homemade pasta. I have already recommended this experience to several friends.

Cesarina from 2020Location: Vezzano Ligure Languages: Italian and EnglishI'm Cesarina Maria Elena, and together with my husband Nicola and our son Pietro, we run a home restaurant in our countryside house just a few kilometers from the city. My passion for cooking started as a child when my friends and I would cook desserts such as meringues and jam tarts to enjoy at picnic-style snack times. I began this venture to fully appreciate our home, our traditions, and our great love for our land and hospitality.
