5.00Our pasta cooking class was exceptional. Tiziano and Roberto were not only warm and welcoming, but incredibly knowledgeable about Genoa’s culinary traditions. The fresh pesto, handmade ravioli, and tiramisu were outstanding. A memorable and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Very welcoming

5.00The host Tomas and his nephew Leonardo were very kind and showed us the techniques for making pasta and the pasta was delicious. The tiramisu we made was good as well. Nice and relaxing visit in his home very inviting!

5.00My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Tiziana and Roberto! They were such gracious hosts and made us feel right at home. We learned to make pasta and tiramisu, and the instructions were easy to follow and the food was delicious. They sent us the photos they took, so we didn't have to worry about taking pictures and could immerse ourselves into the experience. We also received a copy of the recipes so that we can create them again and again at home. I highly recommend Tiziana and encourage others to book this experience as well.
Best memories in Genoa

5.00Our time with Tiziana and Roberto was unbelievable. We booked this experience at the last minute (the night before) when our other plans got canceled due to weather. Tiziana was quick to let us know how to find their location. It was a blessing to be able to meet them and learn from them. Their home was so welcoming and we will never forget the memories we made.
Don’t miss this!

5.00I took a privare class with Emanuela and I had the best time! She hosted me in her beautiful home and we made two pastas and tiramisu. It was such an incredible experience, truly one of a lifetime. I highly recommend this to any solo traveler out there.

5.00Andrea and his mother were charming hosts. I loved being able to make food and talk with them about food and life in Italy. I was thrilled by the food we got to make - it tasted delicious, I need more practice to make it look as good as the locals. It was a true cultural exchange as I also shared with them about some food experiences and thoughts from my homeland of NZ. Highly recommended and a great way to spend an evening in Genova.
