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!

We had the wonderful pleasure of going to a cooking class at the home of Tiziana and Roberto. It was a fabulous experience and I highly recommend it to anyone. It started at the local Genoa market ( an experience all on its own) and then off to the cooking class. But it was the company that was amazing. We felt at home and like part of the family. An experience we’ll never forget. Thank you for making our trip to Italy that much more special!

What a fun & authentic first night experience in Genoa after long haul flights from Australia! Tiziana was wonderful, full of energy, an incredible cook & Robert helping our translation along the way! Delicious food was made, lots of laughs & photographs! A homely & most wonderful memory from Italy - just do it!

Deanna & Darci - 

My husband and I participated in a class to make Pesto Genovese, gnocchi, and tiramisu with Tiziana. It was an amazing class - Tiziana and her partner, Roberto, made us feel like we were old friends in their beautiful home, and we had the most amazing meal. Tiziana has been recognized for her pesto in Genoa, so she is clearly very skilled, but she also made the process seem simple. We had a wonderful time!

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

Nancy and Malcom - 

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.

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.
