Your experience
- Focaccia (homemade bread) di Recco (cheese focaccia)
- Mandilli ( traditional Lasagna from Liguria) with pesto
- Tiramisù with coffee and cocoa
Our cooking class takes place in our traditional, historic Genoese home. As you admire the port views from our windows, we'll take you on a journey through Ligurian taste and traditions.
We begin with cheese focaccia, an evolution of the timeless inland preparations. We then transition to "mandilli de saea" (silk handkerchiefs) with pesto, a true ode to Ligurian pasta craftsmanship. Our culinary voyage culminates with a classic tiramisu served in a glass, offering a sweet closure to your gastronomic adventure.

- Very fun! Wonderful experience! Highly recommended!
- Tomato and Agata really gave us a fabulous experience! The food was delicious. We were served fresh made focaccia when we arrived. We then made pasta and as it was “rising”, made tiramisu. Next we rolled the pasta into 2 types. One we added a filling to and the other was cooked and pesto was added. The dinner was delicious and served with wine. We really enjoyed learning from Tomaso and Agata.
- Tomaso and Agatha were incredibly hospitable and did an amazing job teaching us the art of Italian pasta making. We learned so much and had lots of laughs and fun while doing so. This was the highlight of our trip!
- Great experience, highly recommended

Tomaso
Cesarina from 2018Location: Genoa Languages: Italian and EnglishTomaso, a double-bass player, and his daughter Agata, a young student, welcome us into their lavish home which looks out over the port of Genova, and a fabulous panorama of the Ligurian sea.
In 2004, Tomaso discovered that as well as a passion for music, he also had a gift for cooking. He started attending courses until he finally gained a professional chef qualification. With the help of the talented Agata, he began organising dinners and events, always striving to develop his creativity in the kitchen whether it’s in restaurants, agriturismos, or even aboard luxurious yauchts in Montecarlo.
