Barbara and Stefano were awesome! The view was breathtaking. First off, it’s not usual to dine with locals nevertheless have them teach you a generational recipe with up in this part of riomaggiore. We made pasta with a few different types of pasta, tiramisu, and incredible salad. There dogs Anna and Julie were so sweet. Stefano and Barbara were masters at using local ingredients paying attention to detail about flavors, quality, freshness, texture and orientation of the food. I would definitely do it again just to see them and enjoy the view. Thank you Barbara and Stefano

This is the best cooking class I’ve ever taken. Barbara’s home is situated in Riomaggiore on the hill with a gorgeous view of the ocean! You get to cook, drinks wine and look at the ocean for hours. Barbara will text you before hand to help you navigate to the house. We made home made tiramisu, pasta and bruschetta. Best food my husband and I have ever had. This experience was better than exploring the town and Barbara will teach you about Italian culture and feed you until you cannot eat anymore! After we took the ferry to a few ports and had a wonderful day!

This experience exceeded my expectations. Barbara and Stefano were so fun and knowledgeable, and the variety of dishes we made were all delicious and each prepared with just a few ingredients. The short hike to their home is also part of the experience. I stayed in Vernazza and took the train to Riomaggiore for the afternoon. Definitely recommend!

Hi there, I'm Barbara!
 I was born in the Gulf of Poets, to a Sardinian mother and a Genoese father, and spent my childhood with my beloved grandparents. I like to think of myself as a citizen of the world, but I have a strong connection to my land and its traditions, as does my husband Stefano. Together, we want to share our passion for cooking and our roots with other enthusiasts and curious minds. Since I was a child, I developed a strong passion for cooking, thanks to my grandmother who taught me to experiment and taste new flavors. I have always been adventurous and have tried all the original recipes from different countries around the world, but Ligurian cuisine remains my favorite. We decided to open the doors of our house, located on the terraces of the Cinque Terre above Riomaggiore, to share our passion for cooking and local culture. For us, cooking is the best way to tell the story of our land and pass on the true Ligurian tradition to others. We are excited to share this culinary journey with guests from around the world!
