Italian birds with no stuffing (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genoese

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'italian' is the definition.
(I know that Genoese is a type of italian)

'birds with no stuffing' is the wordplay.
'birds with' becomes 'geese' (goose is a kind of bird. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'stuffing' is an insertion indicator.
'geese' enclosing 'no' is 'GENOESE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for genoese that I've seen before include "Columbus, for one" , "from northern Italy" , "Italian port's" , "From the capital of the Liguria region of Italy" , "Coming from the birthplace of Christopher Columbus" .)
