Top notch cooking experience!

The cooking class was a favorite experience!

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...read more

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.

Highlight of our cruise!

Tiziana and Roberto welcomed us into their home and we’re some of the kindest people we have ever met. Tiziana taught us to make traditional ravioli using the pasta machine that her mother taught her on when she was young. The food was incredible and so was the conversation. The conversation got so good we both whipped out Google Translate so we could thoroughly explain to each other. Josie and I had never done this before but it was very easy and entertaining. We are on a 10 day Mediterranean c...read more

Great cooking experience.

Tizana and Roberto were warm and welcoming from the first moment we net them. Learning and cooking alongside Tizana was enlightening, fun and an experience my husband and I will remember. A wonderful experience that we highly recommend!!
