Private Experience
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 was a most wonderful host. He was such a well mannered and informative teacher and we learned not only about how to properly prepare a delicious local meal but also he taught us the history of the meals and of the area. The entire experience was truly perfect and we all highly recommend for you to book a class with Andrea.

Andrea was a charming host. He was a great knowledgeable teacher and taught me things I will never forget. It was a pleasure to share an evening of great food and cultural exchange. Highly recommended.

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!

"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."
