We will knead Genoese focaccia together, putting our hands in the dough and discovering all the secrets of its preparation. While we're waiting for the dough to rise, we'll get down to making real pesto alla genovese using a mortar. You will have the mortar, the original PDO basil from Genova Prà, and together with Tiziana, a certified master and participant in the Pesto World Championship, you will prepare your own delicious pesto. We will enjoy freshly baked focaccia with pesto, accompanied by a glass of chilled Prosecco. Great satisfaction and fun await you!

I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Tiziana & Roberto were excellent hosts. And Tiziana guided us through making tiramisu, ravioli, and the Ligurian regional pasta, corzetti. I learned a lot and gained the confidence I need to try making pasta when I return home.

What an amazing experience. We had such a great time with Tiziana and Roberto. They were so welcoming and made the experience. The food and teaching were fantastic. I would recommend this experience. It is a must-do.

That was an absolutely amazing experience that we will never forget. My wife and I wanted to take a local cooking class while in Genoa and this was the best one to take. They were so kind and inviting for the whole experience. We learned so much about the local food and history along with how to make pasta and tiramisu. If you want a well structured class in a cold stainless steel kitchen then this is not for you. This is a beautiful family who will invite you into their own home and teach you to cook in their own kitchen and eat with them at their own dining table. I honestly recommend everyone to this amazing experience.

My partner and I had an amazing time with Tiziana and Roberto! We were welcomed in their home so kindly and learned so much about traditional cooking. The pasta, pesto and tiramisu were all so delicious. We had great laughs and an all around magical time. Roberto took amazing photos and videos for us! Thank you so much for making our special day so much more wonderful 💛

Our cooking class with Tiziana was fantastic! Her and her husband greeted us with open arms and helped us make an amazing ravioli, pasta, and tiramisu course. They were so much fun and made us feel happy to be in their home for this amazing experience!

"The delights of Tiziana are a mix of traditional Ligurian cuisine, with Venetian and Calabrian influences . My family has origins linked to these three regions and my passion for cooking and hospitality began when I was a child. eight years I organized parties at my house and I chose the menu with my mother Maria, a Venetian who grew up in Genoa, who helped me and in the meantime I was learning. In my home, which is located in the heart of Genoa, located in a "creuza de but "one step away from the historic center of Genoa, I propose a very eclectic cuisine: from the lean cappon of the Ligurian tradition in its most sumptuous dimension, to the top treated like a divinity that is realized after long passages, to finish with pesto, prepared with the basil picked on the right day just sprouted. A cuisine that transmits love as well as taste and good humor for days and days ".
