AMAZING experience! Highlight of trip

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!

Pasta and tiramisu with friends.
We had a great time in their home and making pasta and tiramisu. They explained well, kids got involved which was cool. Best pasta on the trip by far!!! Thank you for a wonderful time.

It doesn’t get more Authentic than this!
We were a family of 9 onboard Sun Princess. This was a great experience for all of us Tomaso and his assistant were super friendly and engaging! Would do it again the only two hiccups- I wish Viator would tell you after you get dropped off you’d have to walk about .5-1.0 mile - it was hard for my mom on the heat. Italians don’t love air conditioning so it would have been better to have many fans going. Italian music thruout the event would be a great add on - truly enjoyed the day - thank you!!

Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Genoa.
How much does Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine cost?
+
Prices start at $124 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Genoa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Genoa is not rushed.
Is Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 87 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Genoa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Genoa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Genoa and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Genoa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Genoa?
+
On Outty we rank every Genoa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rooftop Cooking Class in Genoa: Pesto, Fresh Pasta & Wine, Genoa Small-Group Food Tour with Full Meal & Local Food Expert, Genoa Food, Wine Tasting & History Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Genoa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Genoa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine?
+
Included: Beverages (water, wines and coffee); Tasting of the 2 pasta recipes and tiramisu; Pasta (2 iconic pasta types) and Tiramisu-making Class; and Italian Aperitivo: prosecco and nibbles. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine?
+
This experience will be held in one of our Cesarina homes and, for privacy reasons, you will receive the full address of your Cesarina host after you have booked. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Genoa: Pasta and Tiramisu class by Cesarine?
