My experience is a three course menu (starter, pasta, dessert) with wine included, set in the beautiful location of San Venerio, a small village in the hills of La Spezia.The appetizer is made with fried pumpkinflowers and is followed by trofie al pesto, a must if you are staying in Liguria.The dessert, light and sweet at the same time, is Mascarpone cream with seasonal fruit salad.I'm waiting for you!

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.
