Cooking class: learn how to cook Italian recipes
Private Experience
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.

- The best pasta I’ve ever had! + Fast and easy booking + Good location - close to the city center + Beautiful and well-maintained apartment + Wonderful host and warm hospitality + High-quality ingredients - The price is a bit high
- Tomato and Aggata were absolutely amazing! We are very grateful for the experience and expertise they shared with us. It was very memorable and special. They were great hosts and amazing teachers. We were paired with another family and it was so much fun. Thank you!
- Tomaso and his daughter were lovely hosts. My husband and I enjoyed making the pasta and the food so good.
- What a wonderful evening with wonderful people! We had so much fun and can’t wait to use those new skills! Grazie mille!
- Tomaso and his daughter were fantastic! The experience of learning to cook Italian food in a private home in Italy was a wonderful experience. Tomaso made the experience extra special by having nice hot foccacia right out of the oven…he is humorous also. Excellent.

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.
