    A delightful experience!

    This was a wonderful experience! Tiziana is a talented chef and patient teacher. She and Robert are a great team who make you feel so welcome in their home and in Genoa. And of course, the food was delicious and fun to prepare!

    Response from the operator: You were incredibly friendly, and Roberto, we are so happy to have met you; we look forward to seeing you again in Genoa—thank you.

    Best part of our trip so far!

    I wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars. This was by far the highlight of our trip. Tiziana and Roberto were such a delight, the food was absolutely delicious, and they even accommodated a mishap on our part. We really felt like part of their family. I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Genoa.

    Response from the operator: It was wonderful meeting you. We thank you forever for choosing us for your honeymoon in Italy 🇮🇹 We will always carry you in our hearts and when you want to return, our home is for you. Tiziana & Roberto

    Such a fun & memorable experience!!

    This was an amazing experience myself and my husband enjoyed during our trip to Italy! Tiziana was so accommodating to her home & very friendly & encouraging! She explained everything & taught us the authentic ways to create Italian specialties! We got to make foccacia, gnocchi, pesto & tiramisu before getting to try them all alongside a glass of Prosecco! Such a fun experience we thoroughly enjoyed & lots of photos/videos to remember it by thanks to both Tiziana & her husband Roberto! Thank you so much!!!

    Response from the operator: What beautiful words! We have new friends! We look forward to seeing you again in Genoa soon! Tiziana & Roberto

    The Perfect Cooking Experience in Genoa

    If you are looking for an ultimate cooking experience in Genoa, look no further. Tiziana is a true chef and professional who made learning how to make tiramisu, pesto and gnocchi easy and fun. Her husband, Roberto added his engaging history, conversation and photography expertise to the unique and personal opportunity to learn in their charming home. This class is a must do.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for these beautiful words. Roberto also sends his regards and we always look forward to seeing you in Genoa for another experience, see you soon.

    Amazing cooking experience with Tiziana and Roberto!! Highly recommend!!

    Highly recommend taking this cooking class!! Tiziana (the chef) and Roberto (the photographer) were so welcoming into their home! We first watched Tiziana work the focaccia dough into the pan with plenty of olive oil. Then we started on making the separate elements for the tiramisu, layering them into the dish, then off to the refrigerator for chilling. Then off to making pesto. Initially it looked impossible to make with so many basil leaves in the mortar with only the pestle and a few smaller ingredients. Tiziana was a fabulous instructor, and before we knew it, my husband and I both had made our individual pesto sauces. Next we made the gnocchi dough and shaped it. Then finally, we were able to enjoy all the food we made. It was fabulous! We couldn’t believe we were able to accomplish so much in so little time, thanks to our wonderful teacher Tiziana! I highly recommend you book this cooking experience!!

    Response from the operator: I am absolutely thrilled to receive these wonderful reviews. It has been a pleasure to share my knowledge of Ligurian-Genoese cuisine with you—from the 'notary's test' to the other recipes we explored, including tiramisu and those medieval, pre-Columbian gnocchi eaten straight from the mortar, just like the sailors of old Genoa used to do. A huge thank you from the bottom of my heart, and from Roberto too, who was deeply moved by your words. We look forward to welcoming you to Genoa anytime. Thank you so much!"Tiziana Founder Delicious Liguria

    With Tiziana Cooking Class for Pesto , Gnocchi and Tiramisù: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Genoa.

    How much does With Tiziana Cooking Class for Pesto , Gnocchi and Tiramisù cost?

    +

    Prices start at $148 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 With Tiziana Cooking Class for Pesto , Gnocchi and Tiramisù take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 With Tiziana Cooking Class for Pesto , Gnocchi and Tiramisù worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Genoa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule With Tiziana Cooking Class for Pesto , Gnocchi and Tiramisù?

    +

    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 With Tiziana Cooking Class for Pesto , Gnocchi and Tiramisù suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book With Tiziana Cooking Class for Pesto , Gnocchi and Tiramisù?

    +

    Around 11 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does With Tiziana Cooking Class for Pesto , Gnocchi and Tiramisù 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.
