Your experience
- Focaccia with cheese
- Meat ravioli pasta with Genoese tuccu sauce
- Genoese overcooked meat with roasted potatoes
- Canestrelli (typical biscuits from Liguria)
I will welcome guests to the dining room with a welcome aperitif accompanied by cuculli (fluffy pancakes) After the aperitif, you could help me for the preparation of cheese focaccia: how the dough is made, the use of prescinseua (typical Genoese cheese), and baking.
This will be followed by the first course with homemade ravioli made with meat, as a recipe handed down from my great-grandmother, and topped with typical Genoese tuccu. The second course is also an old Genoese specialty: stracotto, accompanied by delicious roasted potatoes flavored with herbs. We end the menu with canestrelli, typical shortcrust pastry biscuits.

- Andrea e Barbara ci hanno regalato un’evento indimenticabile per il compleanno di mio marito. Abbiamo imparato a fare una deliziosa focaccia al formaggio e abbiamo pranzato da re! Alla fine ci ha sorpreso con una buonissima torta alla crema diplomatica e frutti di bosco con la candelina! Grazie Andrea e Barbara 🫶 alla prossima volta!
- This class was one of my highlights in Genova and Andrea was an amazing teacher! He took time to explain not only how to cook each dish but also the regional history about Genova’s cooking. By the time class was over I made three delicious Italian dishes and had some wonderful coffee courtesy of Andrea and his mom. Andrea’s English was extremely good and he was very fun to chat with! Absolutely do not miss his class :)
- Great Food and a great experience. Andrea is a gentle host.
- L'esperienza che cercavo per festeggiare il mio compleanno con le persone più care! Servizio eccellente e delicato, cibo buono e curato. Tutto perfetto!
- Andrea and his mother were very pleasant to meet at the central Genova Market. Andrea's English was terrific in his delivery of the cooking process and was agreeable to change the proposed menu to a more complex and interesting foods to challenge my cooking experience. The Squid cleaned (UH) was new for me, cooked with some olive oil and olives delivered on fresh pasta we made, mushrooms deliciously fried added to more pasta, delicious cookies with powdered sugar on top! Along with a bottle of white wine to have every Italian meal complete. !

Cesarina from 2021Location: Genoa Languages: Italian, English, Spanish"It all started at the age of 12 with my first dish: the pennette with cream and asparagus. From here I decided to deepen this passion by obtaining the Hotel School and subsequently attending various private courses. I follow recipes handed down by my grandmothers, all strictly Genoese and/ or Ligurian. I live in Sestri Ponente, in the province of Genoa, where I can quickly reach the sea, but also the mountains. I welcome my guests in the room of my home and I like to customize and decorate the table according to the event."
