Hi from Claudia!
I love preparing the traditional dishes of my wonderful region. From trenette pasta with Genovese pesto to Ligurian-style rabbit, fresh tomato bruschetta from the garden to spaghetti with clams. Among other dishes, I offer savory pies, vegetable frittatas from the garden, and ratatouille. All are accompanied by excellent local wines, which I enjoy discussing and sharing their stories, as I am also a sommelier.

- Highly competent and friendly guide. It was a great pleasure.
- My husband and I went with Claudia for the market and food tour and had a blast! We learned about some history of Genova in the surrounding area, got to visit the produce, cheese, and spice stands at the Mercato Oriental, and tasted some focaccia. Claudia also took us around the market area for some history, and we were able to see some old palaces and stonework. She also went out of her way to recommend various enotecas where we can buy wine. We’d highly recommend a tour with Claudia!
- Claudia was a very good guide
- Claudia was great. She started by explaining a bit of Genova’s history and introducing me to the historic shops (botteghe) that have been around for 70-200 years selling the same type of merchandise or belonging to generations of the same family. We sampled various types of focaccia and then hit the Oriental Market. The produce and fruit were beautifully arranged. As Claudia explained what some of them were, she would suggest ways of cooking and eating them—it made me want to stay in Genova to sample everything. She even introduced me to some local wine that went perfectly with focaccia. Don’t miss Claudia when you come to Genova!
- The stay at Claudias home was a really good experience. She has a wonderful home, made a nice 4 courses meal, where everything tasted just good and last not least, we had a nice and interesting talk for several hours. I would recommend attending here anytime. Thanks Claudia!
