Private Experience

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.

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) 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.

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.

Sono stata piacevolmente sorpresa che la Cesarina con cui avevo deciso di fare esperienza della cucina Ligure fosse in realtà un "Cesarino" precisamente Andrea. Ho sperimentato come si fa la focaccia di Recco o meglio come si deve stendere x renderla sottilissima, come va farcira, con quali ingredienti e dopo cotta l'esperienza del palato è stata soddisfacente. Il pesto con il tipico basilico ligure è stato usato x condire una pasta, i "mandilli", fazzoletti di sfoglia tipo lasagne ma quadrate. Il tutto si è svolto in un luogo accogliente e tranquillo e nel pranzo finale sono stata in compagnia anche di mamma di Andrea che lo aiuta e supporta quando serve. È stata una giornata che difficilmente dimenticherò non solo per l'esperienza fatta e il cibo assaporato, ma per la grande passione e disponibilità di Andrea e della sua mamma che mi hanno anche trovato un passaggio per il ritorno in albergo. Grazie.

Andrea
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."
