The Cook In Arenzano

Entering the restaurant, the cozy atmosphere welcomes me, with softly lit tables and the aroma of delicious food wafting through the air. Glancing at the menu, I'm excited to embark on a culinary adventure.For starters, I try the roasted veal tongue with Jerusalem artichokes, celery root, and pomegranate. The veal tongue is tender and tasty, blending perfectly with the earthy flavors of the artichokes and celery, while the pomegranate adds a refreshing kick.Next up, I dive into the potato cappuccino with lamb, chestnuts, and porcini mushrooms. The creamy soup is comforting, and the lamb adds a rich, savory touch that pairs well with the earthiness of the chestnuts and mushrooms.For pasta, I go for the smoked tagliolino with Zerli onion, rib sauce, and marinated egg yolk. The smoky flavor of the pasta is unique, and the sweetness of the onion and richness of the rib sauce make each bite delightful.Moving on to the main course, I indulge in the rabbit-filled agnolotti with saffron and licorice. The rabbit is tender and flavorful, and the saffron and licorice give the dish a hint of sweetness and spice.For dessert, I can't resist the TiramiCook, a twist on the classic tiramisu. It's creamy and indulgent, the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.Throughout the evening, the friendly staff pairs each course with wines that complement the flavors perfectly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the experience. As I leave the restaurant, I can't help but smile, knowing that I've had one of the best dining experiences of my life.

Exquisite Italian cuisine. The restaurant is in an iconic location.

I went to The Cook for Valentine's Day dinner, in a splendid location and with an exceptional menu, especially their risotto d'Amare. The real gem of the evening was the Sala staff, especially Luca who guided us through the menu and the wine pairings (exceptional) and also the attention of the chef himself who stopped by to greet the diners at all the tables was very welcome. Overall it can be called a truly wonderful experience!

The menu tasted excellent. Very kind chef and well-trained guys. Highly recommended. Michelin star deserved.

Beautiful location, well-crafted dishes, from the simplicity of the starter to the fun dessert. The only two flaws in my opinion that made me feel a little bad are the service and the wine. The waitress was very knowledgeable but didn't put me completely at ease, the sommelier had some outings that weren't worthy of a starred restaurant as far as I'm concerned. Overall a nice experience, some details need to be taken care of.

It was a wonderful experience, the dishes looked like paintings it was almost a shame to eat them, unique flavors and tastes... all the staff were very good, compliments to chef Ricchebono for everything!

Location ottima, servizio impeccabile. Menu degustazione interessante ma non sbalorditivo. Wine pairing da 0 - 0 per un prezzo in linea per uno stellato.

Sophisticated, intimate, welcoming location. The wait staff is attentive and prepared, but not intrusive. The food is great. The preparations worthy of note and worthy of a Michelin star. The price paid is appropriate for the culinary offer. Excellent!

Came in with high expectation and was not disappointed, the venue has a fantastic atmosphere, come in and you'll find yourself dining inside an historical building surrounded by original frescos, we went for the 7 course option, standard and truffle one and each single dish was stunning, from presentation to the incredible taste that followed after each bite. Yes it is a pricey restaurant but lives up to the expectation, worth mentioning is the pesto and olive oil served as an entry, and the truffle tagliolini of course. Almost forgot to mention the excellent wine pairing and generous staff that in case of finishing the glass of wine too early filled it with no hesitation

A wonderful evening surrounded by frescos and light strings playing in the background. ‘The Cook’ is an experience one has to partake in while visiting Genova, as the definitive culinary destination the city has to offer. Of particular interest is the Seafood menu, delicate and elegant. Cappuccino, the potato soup they offer as an entree stole my heart: it had the flavour of hard work by the sea. The game of textures and the visuality of these plates make for an incredible experience, although I must admit to not having been so impressed by the wine pairings offered: somehow they felt flat and safe, no bold combination, no surprises, just a simple pleasantry. They nail dessert with the assortment they offer to close the meal: the carrot is the most fun I had eating dolce and the surprise of how the carrots snaps when digging in with a spoon to reveal the white cream inside; it’s always great to feel like a child. I would love to point out the great staff that mans this restaurant, not just the chef, whom my partner and I met by chance the following day by the street of the city and he was so kind as to recommend a friend’s restaurant for lunch, but as well the gentlemen who we had the pleasure to be served by with great elegance and knowledge.
