Top notch cooking experience!

Penny_M, Jan 2025

The cooking class was a favorite experience! We did have a bit trouble finding the location because the address given was not clear, then we found a different address on Viator so arrived a little late. Tiziana, the chef, and her husband Roberto were so welcoming having us in their home. Tiziana won an award in Italy in 2023 for the best pesto! We made Tagliatelle, homemade pasta, which we topped with her amazing pesto, and tiramisu. It was all so delicious. Tiziana used Google Translate to explain things to us, and Roberto spoke more English and shared much about his hometown of Genoa. We all “broke bread” together in their lovely dining room, with some wine. We even had a surprise visit when we were finishing from Tiziana’s adult son who joined us at the table. They were all delightful, and I highly recommend Tiziana.

Hands on dinner in Genoa

We had a lovely evening. The setting was so relaxing and our host/chef was a delight. The three dishes we made were outstanding and we left feeling like we had a taste of the authentic Genoa.
