Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Genoese pesto
  • Walnut sauce
  • Genovese Focaccia

You will discover all the secrets to preparing authentic Genoese PDO pesto, made strictly with a mortar and pestle: who knows, maybe one day you will even be able to participate in the World Pesto Championship! But we won't stop there: together we will prepare walnut sauce, a typical Genoese specialty perfect for dressing pansotti (ravioli with herbs), enhancing the aromas and flavors of local herbs.

And of course, we can't forget the fragrant and irresistible Genoese focaccia with sage. I will welcome you into my home in the heart of Genoa, a stone's throw from the Rolli palaces, witnesses to a noble past in the 18th century. A unique opportunity to learn the skills and techniques that make pesto the most famous sauce in the world!

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.
