4-course Italian menu with cooking demo
Private experiences are reserved for you and any guests you have booked for: no other people will be added so that you can enjoy maximum privacy.
- 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) and panissa (chickpea flour pancakes). After the aperitif, there will be a demonstration for the preparation of Recco-type 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 a cake made of shortbread and lemon cream garnished with pine nuts, all washed down with typical local wine.

- When we got there Andrea showed us the garden and picked fresh produce to cook with. The food was sooo good. I couldn’t decide what was my favorite. Everything was so perfect, we will come again when we’re back.
- What a wonderful evening Andrea and his family gave us! The instruction and experience making the pasta, pesto and Tiramisu was very entertaining and the meal was delicious! Spending time with Andrea and his family was priceless! I highly recommend this evening if you’re visiting Genova!
- we had such an amazing night with Andrea and his family. we started off by making tiramisu, ravioli, and truffel (not entirely sure how to spell this pasta) which were all phenomenal. his english was great and so we’re his instructions. his mom was there helping us as well as his dad, who were both lovely people. we cooked, laughed, and told stories until it was time to eat when more of his family joined us. they were all so wonderful as they welcomed us into their home and shared a meal with us as if we were their family. the food was also hands down the best italian food i’ve ever had. we made the main dishes and desserts and he brought out a homemade appetizer and fococcia bread. it was a night my family won’t forget and was so amazing meeting these people. i will 100% be reaching our next time i am in Genoa and highly highly recommend you go meet Andrea and his wonderful family and recipes.
- There are not enough words to explain how grateful we are for Andrea & his family!! Thank you for opening your home, your kitchen & your hearts to us for a day while in Genova. We didn’t want to leave!! We loved learning how to make focaccia bread & eating it!! The BEST pesto I’ve ever eaten in my life!! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!!
