Shared Experience
Your experience

    I welcome you to my home in the heart of old Genoa, a short distance from the Palazzi dei Rolli and the largest historic center in Europe. During our experience, you will become an expert in the preparation of the world's most famous sauce: Pesto di basilico DOP alla genovese. We will use the ancient mortars and, guided by me, you will become part of the Genoa associated with traditional cuisine. The poetry of freshly prepared pesto will be tasted on Genoese focaccia. Afterwards, our culinary adventure will continue with our hands in the dough, preparing the pasta matta to create the legendary focaccia al formaggio di Recco, a world-famous Ligurian specialty. In the process, I will reveal the secrets to enjoying a cheesy focaccia at home.

    This was a great experience! Tiziana is so warm and kind - plus she's a great teacher. Roberto is a gracious host and was so kind to us. Plus the food was fabulous!! Highly recommended

    Tiziana is a very good cook, chef and Cesarina. She taught us how to make an amazing tiramisu, then pansotti with walnut sauce, very good, and we learned how to make fresh pasta. The focaccia is truly delicious. Thank you very much: a beautiful experience.

    Tiziana was a great host. She explained everything in great detail and the food we cooked together was very delicious. She really welcomed us in her home and told many stories about cooking and the city of Genova. We had a wonderful time at this class.

    We had a great time making pasta and tiramisu, laughing and eating with Tiziana. We had great discussions about the history of Genova and places to visit. Well worth our time.

    We had a fantastic time learning how to make traditional Italian and Genova style cuisine. We had fun, laughed, and talked about Genova, Italy, Colorado, and everything in between. We definitely recommend to anyone looking to have fun learning and to gain some awesome tips on exploring the city! So fun and delicious!

    Delicius Liguria
    Partner since 2022Location: Genoa (GE)    Languages: Italian and English
    The Delicius Liguria association offers a refined blend of traditional Ligurian cuisine enriched with Venetian and Calabrian influences. The experience takes place in a charming private home in the heart of Genoa, nestled along a characteristic “creuza de ma”, just steps away from the historic center. Here, an eclectic and authentic cuisine comes to life, telling stories of regions, traditions, and heritage through every dish. From the elaborate cappon magro, the most lavish and visually striking expression of Ligurian tradition, to the cima, prepared with almost ritual care through a long and meticulous process passed down over time. The journey concludes with the unmistakable aroma of freshly made pesto, crafted according to tradition using basil picked at its perfect, most tender stage. A cuisine that goes beyond taste: an experience that conveys passion, authenticity, and conviviality, leaving guests with lasting memories well beyond the table.
