Private Experience
Your experience
  • Farinata (a traditional flat bread)
  • Portofino lasagna
  • Rose cake

The crispy farinata made from chickpea flour is an ancient Genoese culinary tradition, found in historic shops and old Genoa's fry houses. Learning to make it at home and serving it to guests means mastering the art of using humble yet quality ingredients to create a unique dish that combines taste and simplicity.

Portofino lasagna features fresh pasta, smothered in DOP Genoese pesto, and baked: it's a traditional dish that rivals haute cuisine. Finally, the Rose Cake, which won me first prize in a best cake competition: sharing this dessert with you truly means leaving a part of my personal cooking experience and tradition.

This was the highlight of our trip so far. Tiziana and Roberto were amazing hosts! Her pesto is absolutely delicious. All the food she taught us to make - pasta and tiramisu was wonderful. We couldn’t believe we had made it. It was so much fun to see a private Genoa home built in the 1500s. Sign up for this; you won’t regret it. We loved everything about it.

I had an amazing experience with our hosts, Tiziana and Roberto! They are a sweet, funny, and welcoming. They told us stories and gave advice on the city, despite sometimes needing to use a translator to do so! I would recommend to anyone for an authentic Italian food experience.

Tiziana
Cesarina from 2022Location: Genoa    Languages: Italian and English
"The delights of Tiziana are a mix of traditional Ligurian cuisine, with Venetian and Calabrian influences . My family has origins linked to these three regions and my passion for cooking and hospitality began when I was a child. eight years I organized parties at my house and I chose the menu with my mother Maria, a Venetian who grew up in Genoa, who helped me and in the meantime I was learning. In my home, which is located in the heart of Genoa, located in a "creuza de but "one step away from the historic center of Genoa, I propose a very eclectic cuisine: from the lean cappon of the Ligurian tradition in its most sumptuous dimension, to the top treated like a divinity that is realized after long passages, to finish with pesto, prepared with the basil picked on the right day just sprouted. A cuisine that transmits love as well as taste and good humor for days and days ".
