Maria_B, Aug 2026

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience learning the traditional Genoese recipes. Our chef and instructor was warm and welcoming and encouraged us all to participate in hands on cooking and he gave us helpful instruction. I would recommend this to everyone who comes to this region. It was all delicious and an amazingly wonderful experience. Our host and chef/instructor was so inviting and welcomed us into his home and we all greatly appreciated every aspect of it.

Easily one of the best days
This cooking class was absolutely amazing. Not only did Tatiana and Roberto welcome us into their home and teach us how to make fresh homemade pasta, ravioli and tiramisu. Thay also shared very personal experiences about living in Genoa and advising us on what not to miss. We were on a 20 day Mediterranean trip, and this was easily one of the best days.

A unique Italian cooking experience

Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine
nataliebS9573NR, Jul 2026
A unique Italian cooking experience
Tomaso and his helper were phenomenal. They both were very knowledgeable and explained the whole process in detail.First, we were welcomed into Tomaso’s home, given warm focaccia bread and white wine while waiting to get started. Tomaso did an excellent job showing us how to work the ingredients and also gave us the proportions so we can make the pasta/tiramisu back at home. After everything was prepped, they finished cooking the meal and then we were able to enjoy our creation. It was a wonderful experience making authentic Italian food, with knowledgeable chefs, while getting to experience a charming Italian home. Our hosts also gave us a recommendation for a short sightseeing excursion we could take before we had to head back to our cruise ship. If you want a unique experience I would not hesitate to book this!

Great Time!!
Fabio's class was great. Making Ligurian Pesto with locals who know how was awesome. The Pasta, focaccia, local wines and all the other great tastes were magic. Highly recommend this class. Fabio and his Chef friend are friendly, passionate about the local food scene and fun to be around.

Had a chance to join a cooking demo at a local's house in Savona and it was so chill and real. Honestly, the food was super fresh and tasty and we even learned some tricks from the host. Great way to get a feel for local life without the usual tourist vibes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Experience!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I attended the cooking class with my mother and we had an incredible time. The host Fabio and his wife have put so much effort and totally paid to each person, every step was explained in detail and made interesting. You also told a lot of interesting things about Italy, cooking and the region. The homemade pasta with pesto and also the starters offered with wine were incredibly delicious!!
