Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
- Sailor's Crostino (Caponada)
The Sailor’s Crostino is a historic recipe from the Maritime Republic of Genoa.
Traditionally made with galletta — the dry bread sailors took on long sea voyages — it was flavored with garlic, dried herbs, salted anchovies, and freshly caught fish. This simple yet rich preparation is known as Caponada, the original sailor’s crostino. In this cooking experience, I’ll guide you through its preparation using typical ingredients: cherry tomatoes, basil, garlic, fresh Genovese pesto, salted anchovies, Taggiasca olives, tuna belly, capers, and chili pepper. A vegetarian version is also available. Everything is served with Ligurian focaccia, fresh pesto, and a chilled glass of prosecco.

- 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!
- My fiancé and I had such a wonderful time with Tiziana and Roberto! Tiziana has everything masterfully set up in the kitchen and Roberto has such great knowledge of the city and Genovese history! They make an awesome team and excellent instructors. I can't wait to try the recipes we learned with Tiziana. We will definitely book another class on our next trip to Genoa.
- We had a wonderful time at Tiziana's home, learning a lot about cooking, tasting what we made, and getting a lot of stories about Genoa's history from Roberto. Would gladly take another class!
- Chef Tiziana gave us an incredible experience! We made focaccia, home made pasta and two sauces. She and partner Roberto were kind, friendly, and patient with our questions. Google Translate qas always open to make sure we understood. Fantastic meal. Fantastic hosts. Highly recommend!
- Bellisima focaccia!
