Your experience
With the Vegia Zena menu, typical dishes of old Genoese cuisine will be offered. You will be welcomed in the garden for a welcome appetizer with panissa, cuculli, (typical Genoese pancakes), and a glass of Ligurian Vermentino.
We will continue with a demonstration of how to make typical cheese focaccia and chickpea farinata with spring onions baked in a wood/gas oven and enjoyed in our piazzetta. We will continue with the first course: trenette avvantaggiate, handmade with durum wheat flour and chestnut flour and seasoned with our basil pesto, potatoes and green beans. As a main course: tomaxelle, veal rolls stuffed with vegetables and meat with a side of potatoes au gratin. The Vegia Zena menu concludes with a Ligurian dessert: canestrelli.

- 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.
- 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.
- Pesto come faceva mia mamma , spettacolo , gelato fatto dallo chef da 10
- 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 and his family provided a great overall experience. From the support in getting to the location and providing me with a wonderful and fun experience. Would highly recommend.

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."
