Olta Giulia
Spoken languages: Italian and English
Small Group hands-on cooking class with 2 pasta recipes and tiramisù
Shared Experience
Your experience
- Tagliatelle (homemade pasta) with pesto
- Ravioli (homemade pasta) with butter and sage
- Tiramisu with coffee and cocoa
I will be waiting for you at my home, in an intimate and typical Ligurian setting with a picturesque view over the rooftops of Riomaggiore. Between chats and some good local wine, we will prepare pesto together while I tell you about the origins and importance of the ingredients. I always choose natural organic and km zero products.
It will be fun to get our hands in the pasta making ravioli and tagliatelle. We will make a classic tiramisu but with the right adjustments for our times and then continue in total relaxation tasting what we have prepared with such dedication and love.

- Giulia was our teacher/chef. She was a delight and a wonderful teacher. She answered all of our cooking questions and let us do the work so we could really learn. The food was delicious and one of our favorite meals in Italy,/.. we made ricotta and spinach ravioli in a sage butter sauce, tagliatelle pasta with pesto, and tiramisu. Everything was delicious and can’t wait to try and make them when we get home. This was a highlight experience of our trip!
- A lovely experience with Giulia ! Food as excellent !
- We did a ravioli class and it was so much fun. I’ve never made pasta before but she broke it down into several easy steps. She also explained different options for the stuffing. She showed us how to make two different sauces to use with the ravioli and they were both delicious. At the end we enjoyed all of the hard work with a glass of wine. I would highly recommend this class
- We had the most amazing time cooking with Giulia! Her preparation was excellent, her explanations (in very good English) were very clear, and we had lots of fun! I really recommend doing the cooking class with Giulia! It was one of the highlights of our month in Italy!
- I'm so glad we booked a class with Giulia (instead of some other classes, which would have been in a huge group of people!) I didn't expect us to be the only 2 people cooking with her. Giulia was lovely to spend a few hours with chatting and learning about her life, and telling her about ours. We had delicious appetizers and aperol spritzs. It was so fun to make the pasta and learn her techniques (we have made ravioli at home before, but these turned out much prettier!) The simplest way to prepare the lunch was absolutely delicious, and we've made it a few times since returning home. Would highly recommend a class with Giulia to everyone!

Where
Olta Giulia
Cesarina from 2023Location: Riomaggiore Languages: Italian and EnglishMy cuisine is deeply connected to the primary ingredients of my region. Simple pairings yet with a unique flavor where each ingredient is highlighted. When I step into the kitchen, I am happy; my dishes are a combination of memories and flavors from when I was young, when it was my grandmother and my mother cooking, to today, where I am the one cooking for my family. For my loved ones, I often make fresh pasta and also condiments like pesto or walnut sauce depending on the season. I also enjoy making desserts, from tiramisu to apple cake and sweet rice cake.
