5Wonderful!
We had such a wonderful experience learning how to make pesto, pasta, a cheese dish & cookies! Mimo (Dominic) our cook, was friendly and kind! Gian Berto, our host, interpreted and is such a lovely person who was very helpful & kind. This was a fantastic morning of cooking and eating! Come hungry!
5Pesto and family!
Our family had a wonderful time at this cooking class in Genoa. We loved learning how to make authentic pesto, focaccia, and delicious cookies while experiencing a true taste of the local culture. Gian and the entire crew were amazing. They were friendly, welcoming, and made the class both fun and informative. Their passion for Genoese cuisine and traditions was evident throughout the experience, and they created a warm atmosphere that made everyone feel right at home. The food was fantastic, but the best part was the time spent together as a family. We left with great recipes, wonderful memories, and a deeper appreciation for the region's culinary traditions. This was one of the highlights of our visit to Genoa, and we highly recommend it.
5Great tour

5Great food!
Recommend! The host Gian was great and very helpful. Very hands on and interactive. We made pesto pasta and local cookies as well as focaccia. Delicious!
5Yummy!
We try to attend a cooking class in every city we visit because we feel local food is a window into local culture. This class did not disappoint. Our guide, Veronica, met us exactly where it was specified and immediately made us feel welcomed. A short walk later we were at Locanda Tortuga restaurant, owned by our chef and teacher, Bernardo. The restaurant itself is a masterpiece of old world rustic charm. We learned how to make several uniquely Genoese dishes from our talented chef, with Veronica and Chef coaching us as we tried to recreate the dishes ourselves. They made it fun and interesting and a delightful way to spend a morning in Genoa. We heartily recommend both Veronica and Chef Bernardo if you want to get "down and dirty" with the local cuisine.

About Genoa
Genoa, the great port of the Ligurian coast, is a city of steep medieval alleys, grand palaces and an old harbour once ruled by merchant families.
Genoa curves around a deep natural harbour with mountains close behind, so its streets climb steeply. It was a maritime republic in the Middle Ages, and the merchant families built palaces along Via Garibaldi and the Strade Nuove, now listed by UNESCO as the Rolli palaces. The cathedral of San Lorenzo has a striped black-and-white façade, and the Lanterna, an old stone lighthouse, marks the western end of the port.
Top-ranked sights in Genoa: Genoa Cathedral (Cattedrale di San Lorenzo), Piazza de Ferrari, Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale).
