This cooking class was absolutely amazing. Not only did Tatiana and Roberto welcome us into their home and teach us how to make fresh homemade pasta, ravioli and tiramisu. Thay also shared very personal experiences about living in Genoa and advising us on what not to miss. We were on a 20 day Mediterranean trip, and this was easily one of the best days.
Vittoria was so generous with her time and knowledge! When my flight was delayed, I thought I would have to miss my lesson but she accommodated my schedule and we still had a lovely, if hot, meal with a view of the sea!
Our pasta cooking class was exceptional. Tiziano and Roberto were not only warm and welcoming, but incredibly knowledgeable about Genoa’s culinary traditions. The fresh pesto, handmade ravioli, and tiramisu were outstanding. A memorable and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
The host Tomas and his nephew Leonardo were very kind and showed us the techniques for making pasta and the pasta was delicious. The tiramisu we made was good as well. Nice and relaxing visit in his home very inviting!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Tiziana and Roberto! They were such gracious hosts and made us feel right at home. We learned to make pasta and tiramisu, and the instructions were easy to follow and the food was delicious. They sent us the photos they took, so we didn't have to worry about taking pictures and could immerse ourselves into the experience. We also received a copy of the recipes so that we can create them again and again at home. I highly recommend Tiziana and encourage others to book this experience as well.
Our time with Tiziana and Roberto was unbelievable. We booked this experience at the last minute (the night before) when our other plans got canceled due to weather. Tiziana was quick to let us know how to find their location. It was a blessing to be able to meet them and learn from them. Their home was so welcoming and we will never forget the memories we made.
Cooking class with Tomaso and his son was amazing. The food, the wine was absolutely extraordinary. We also had fun learning to do it the genovan way and learning more about the history of the city. Its a must!
I took a privare class with Emanuela and I had the best time! She hosted me in her beautiful home and we made two pastas and tiramisu. It was such an incredible experience, truly one of a lifetime. I highly recommend this to any solo traveler out there.
Host was great. Made everything easy. End result was delicious. Would have picked a cooler day. Extremely hot.
Very good instructor and very nice food! The pasta was very good and freshly made, the tiramisu was from a family recipe aswell!
The food was absolutely amazing, and we loved getting to see how it’s been made for so long! Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling through Italy.
Andrea and his mother were charming hosts. I loved being able to make food and talk with them about food and life in Italy. I was thrilled by the food we got to make - it tasted delicious, I need more practice to make it look as good as the locals. It was a true cultural exchange as I also shared with them about some food experiences and thoughts from my homeland of NZ. Highly recommended and a great way to spend an evening in Genova.
We spent an evening with Tiziana and Robert in their lovely home. It was a beautiful experience and the food she showed us how to make was fantastic! She showed how to make tiramisu and ravioli. We started with the tiramisu so it could set and then went on the ravioli. We made the dough from scratch and she showed us how roll it out and fill it. It was so delicious in the walnut sauce!! And after was the tiramisu which was the best we have ever had. In between the tiramisu and ravioli we were also treated to delicious appetizers and Prosecco. Everything was perfect and they were the best hosts. I recommend booking this class 100%!!! Enjoy!
We had such a fun time! We made pasta in two different forms last night as well as tiramisu! Our hosts were so gracious and made us feel very welcome. We had homemade focaccia when we arrived. Then began making pasta and dessert. We enjoyed wine and a fabulous dinner!
This was the very best experience! Daniela was a generous, gracious host, and she was eager to share her techniques and favorite ingredients for her recipes. My husband and I strongly recommend this experience! Thank you for offering it and thank you to Daniela for the delicious food! We only wish our stomachs were able to fit more!
This experience with some thing that me and my wife will remember forever. We came here on our honeymoon and Roberto and Tiziana were such amazing hosts. We were first spoiled with homemade focaccia bread and delicious Italian wine upon arriving. We were welcomed into their home, as if we were family, and we truly felt the love from the very moment they opened the door. We made Tiramisu, ravioli, and pesto, lasagna. The recipe and instructions were very easy to follow. The food, was incredible. Me and my wife can never really look at Italian food the same after this experience. They used such a simple ingredients yet, they were cooked with so much love that they tasted, absolutely perfect. Tiziano was patient and kind with us while showing us the techniques to properly make the food. Roberto documented the whole thing with his phone and our phone to get multiple angles and video to go along with the photos. They also sent us every video and picture that they took on their devices as well. We had great documentation of our wonderful time we had with them. While the food was cooking, we sat down with Roberto and ate the first course of the meal, and he explained the history of Genoa to us. It was very interesting to learn about the area we were in. We found out more history about them and their beautiful home. As our time with them closed, Roberto gave us the gift of his knowledge and expertise of Genoa and Portofino for our future travels. He told us where to go in Genoa to get the best experience and to not waste money on the bus tours or taxi services. He showed us how to see the city within a reasonable walking distance. We ended up seeing so much more of Genoa than I think we would have if we were just sitting on a bus being driven around town. His recommendations for Portofino restaurants were absolutely incredible. We ended up going to a wonderful Italian restaurant, as well as a gelato shop in Portofino upon his recommendation. These places were truly a sight to behold. We had a wonderful time with them and look forward to keeping in touch with them. Hopefully we will be visiting them again in the future. This experience is truly worth its price and much more. Me and my wife highly recommend visiting these wonderful people.
