THE CHEF WHO BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER

Ciao, I'm Andrea — an Italian chef based in Brisbane, and I believe in one simple thing: food gets people to the table, but it's the connection that actually makes the night.

That's what everything I do is built around. Hands-on cooking classes, seasonal long-table dinners, private dining, recipes from my own table to yours — all of it designed to feel warm, generous, and like you're not just a guest, but someone I actually wanted there.

COMING UP AT THE TABLE: MARE D’INVERNO

A winter Mediterranean dining experience inspired by the sea.

Mare d’Inverno brings together generous shared plates, coastal flavours, warm hospitality and the feeling of gathering around the table in the colder months.

An intimate Andrea Gennari dining experience created for people who love food, stories, connection and the Mediterranean way of eating.
