    The BEST tour ever!
    Nancy_B, Apr 2024
    Today we did the small group pasta and tiramisu class in Genoa. Our hosts were Tiziana and Roberto and they graciously invited us into their home. There were six of us which included my two sisters and their husbands along with my husband and myself. We made the tiramisu first so that it could refrigerate. While making the tiramisu, there was focaccia bread and some outstanding pesto she had made. Then, we each made ball of dough for the pasta. We were making lasagna with an pesto sauce and herb and pesto ravioli with a walnut sauce. Since the dough needed to rest for thirty minutes, Tiziana had a delicious spread of several meats, cheese, pickles and bread on two trays for us to enjoy. Next we made the lasagna and ravioli from our pasta dough. We learned how to make both and were each able to participate in the process. Tiziana and Roberto were gracious hosts and we enjoyed getting to know both of them while we cooked and ate the amazing food we had prepared. It was a wonderful time. We loved it so much. Thank you to you both!!
    An amazing experience with my Nona

    Genuine cultural exchange with delicious food
    Mackenzie_V, Dec 2023
    Our family had such a wonderful time during this small cooking class! Our hosts graciously invited us to their home and told us stories about their family, culture and life in Italy. This was an incredibly unique experience where I learned new skills such as making pasta by hand but more importantly I made such a great human connection with local people in Genoa. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to prioritize family experiences and wholesome fun :)
    A Delicious One of a Kind Adventure.

    Tiziana and Roberto treated me and my wife like family. Their home and kitchen are a beautiful, quiet, and peaceful space to learn the art of cooking. Tiziana is a masterful, patient, and passionate teacher. Roberto actively videos and photographs your experience as well so you can focus on enjoying the learning experience. He also shared many historical facts and travel tips with us . These tips helped us get the most out of trip. We went without bus tours or taxis and went the route he advised and truly made a world of difference in our experience in the city. We were able to see all the major landmarks with the information he provided. He gave us a step by step breakdown of where to go upon leaving their place. We ended up seeing all the special spots and getting back to our ship with time to spare to look at the shops along the way. This would not be possible if we aimlessly looked for these spots and took bus or taxi services around town. On foot you make a better use of your time. Their home and kitchen are clean and they are so kind as to share their space with their guests. You can really feel the love when you first walk up the alleyway to their home. The wine and the coffee were a wonderful addition to the experience as well. They also shared some homemade focaccia and pesto with us. Which was delicious and unlike any I’ve ever experienced. As Tiziana and Roberto said, “what’s fresher than cooking it yourself?” How true those words are. The experience for me and my wife on our honeymoon was truly a breathtaking and memorable one. We thank them for hosting us and for the love they put into making our day with them a magical and tasty memory. Thank you both so much!
    Authentic Italian Experience
    Mackenzie_C, Aug 2023
    We had a great evening learning to make pasta in traditional ways with Andrea and his family. As our main chef Andrea was knowledgable about the courses and the region and was very friendly and accommodating. The course ended with a meal with his family that was one of the highlights of our trip!
    The best excursion of the trip!
    Leslie_M, Aug 2023
    Tiriana and Roberto were charming hosts. We learned so much about Genoa and they shared personal stories. Tiriana taught us how to make spaghetti and raviolis, which were absolutely delicious. This was so much more than we were expecting thanks to our warm hosts who gave us a few hours of feeling like family. We highly recommend this class you won’t be disappointed.
    Family meal
    Marie_n, Aug 2023
    The Oliveri family was so welcoming. Our group of 8 made 2 delicious pastas and tiramasu. It was a great family meal.
    Loved the experience!
    Michelle_L, Aug 2023
    Great experience making authentic dishes with great guidance and using the freshest ingredients. I love being able to tell people that my first meal in Italy was made by me!
    Very authentic Italian cooking class
    Rebecca_U, Jul 2023
    This is a lovely class if you want an authentic Italian experience. Tomaso and Paulo were lovely and his house is beautiful. The food we made was the best tiramisu I’ve ever had and the pasta was amazing. It ended up just the two of us so we had a private class.
    Daniela was the sweetest...
    Brittany_W, Jul 2023
    Daniela was the sweetest host. She welcomed us into our home and was did such a good job teaching us how to make the different pastas. My husband has a nut allergy and she catered the recipes to that. She also had a charcuterie board and wine for us, along with other food to sample of the region.
    A lovely afternoon of cooking and conversation
    Stephen_W, Jul 2023
    We had a wonderful time with Andrea and his family. They truly made us feel welcome in their home. We learned a lot about cooking, but also about their culture and their lives and they gave us a genuine Genoese experience. Andrea was so helpful answering any of our questions and giving us tons of helpful tips and tricks for making beautiful pasta. At the end it felt very satisfying to enjoy the fruits of our labor but also to share it with him and his family in a lovely setting with good food and good conversation. We are so glad we had this opportunity and would absolutely recommend it to anyone else who wants to learn more about Genoese food and life.
    Tastiest Pasta I have ever eaten
    Sylvia_H, Jul 2023
    We made pasta in Tomaso's home. His son, Nicolao translated. They were so nice and hospitable. We made two types of pasta and tiramisu in their dining room. We learned that pasta in Genoa is made with olive oil and not eggs like Northern Italy. The pasta was so light. It melted in your mouth. Father and son were delightful and the pasta was the tastiest pasta we have ever had. I loved that this tour was not in a cooking school. In an authentic Italian home but a master pasta maker. Thank you, Tomaso and Nicolao.
    A wonderfully tasty experience!
    Melissa_R, Jun 2023
    We learned the art of fresh pasta making from a father and son. Truly a memorable experience of spending the morning in the home of a traditional Italian family as they shared their family recipes.
    Real life home cooking experience
    Edward_H, Jun 2023
    Great experience. Class is in someone’s home in a Genoa neighborhood. Two types of pasta with two sauces were made and tiramisu. There were four students so lots of hands on experience. The dishes were now our lunch. No room for dinner that night
    Great experience, must try!
    Megan_K, Apr 2023
    Andrea and his family provided a great immersive experience to Italian cooking. I would highly recommend.
    Fun pasta experience!

    Daniela was very nice beginning to end, she welcomed us to her home and taught us to make easy Tiramusú, Pesto and a white garlic sauce from scratch, as well Tagliolini, Ravioli and Tortellini filled with Ricotta and Spinach. She offered us snacks, coffee, water and even wine. The whole experience lasted around 3.5 hours but you are always doing something to prepare the meal. Very good experience in Genoa, I definitely recommend it and would do it again!
    Genoa favorite!
    Monica_V, Sep 2022
    There are not enough words to express how much we enjoyed this class. Tomaso and Agata were a joy and it’s clear how passionate they are about what they do. The gnocchi and stuffed pasta we made were so delicious. The tiramisu was the best ever and being instructed by a certified Pesto Master was icing on the cake. This topped the list of our Genoa favorites!!!
    Warm, accommodating and engaging dining experience.
    Frankie_h, Aug 2022
    anna snd her family invited the four of us in their home to share in long time family secrets on pasta, flour, olives, basil and cheese. The Genoves have a long and cultured heritage going back hundreds of years. It was most delightful.. we all dnjoyed it immensely!!!!!🙋‍♀️🌺
