Amazing experience! - This was such an amazing experience! We were lucky to be the only 2 people in this class. Alessandra is such a lovely and welcoming person who has an extensive knowledge of cooking which makes her an excellent teacher. She guided us through the steps whilst giving us full control so when we were finished it really felt like an achievement. It was actually one of the best tasting meals of the trip. Once everything was cooked we sat down and enjoyed some excellent wine and wonderful conversation. Alessandra gave us lots of recommendations of what to do in Genova and the surrounding area which were great. After we left she sent us some pictures she took during the session and the recipes of what we had made. Since then she has sent more local recipes which is above and beyond what we ever expected, we couldn't be more grateful for the experience she gave us. I couldn't recommend this more.

True Italian Experience - Alberto was a wonderful host and shared historical, traditional knowledge with us to teach us not just how to make pesto and fresh pasta, but how to make the very best! It was delicious and he was charming and hospitable. He’s as Italian as they come! Just know that there are many stairs to climb-our app didn’t inform us of that—and leave plenty of time to find the location.

True high quality Italian cooking class with top-notch city view! - This was simply perfect. The host was the epitome of kindness, and provided me with warm and simple hospitality. The cooking class was very rewarding, I was guided through each step with patience and attention. And the taste, in the end, was just perfect. Last but not least: the unforgettable panorama on Genoa was a real treat. Highly recommended!
