Tomaso and his daughter were great. They said they would provide recipes, but apparently forgot. The food was tasty and we hope to try making it again at home.

We had a lovely evening. The setting was so relaxing and our host/chef was a delight. The three dishes we made were outstanding and we left feeling like we had a taste of the authentic Genoa.
