Fun making pasta &tiramisu with friendly locals in their home. They were welcoming & knowledgeable. The meal we prepared was one of the best we’ve had on this vacation! Highly recommended!!
Today we did the small group pasta and tiramisu class in Genoa. Our hosts were Tiziana and Roberto and they graciously invited us into their home. There were six of us which included my two sisters and their husbands along with my husband and myself. We made the tiramisu first so that it could refrigerate. While making the tiramisu, there was focaccia bread and some outstanding pesto she had made. Then, we each made ball of dough for the pasta. We were making lasagna with an pesto sauce and herb and pesto ravioli with a walnut sauce. Since the dough needed to rest for thirty minutes, Tiziana had a delicious spread of several meats, cheese, pickles and bread on two trays for us to enjoy. Next we made the lasagna and ravioli from our pasta dough. We learned how to make both and were each able to participate in the process. Tiziana and Roberto were gracious hosts and we enjoyed getting to know both of them while we cooked and ate the amazing food we had prepared. It was a wonderful time. We loved it so much. Thank you to you both!!
We signed up for the class and were very excited to take a class on cooking in Italy. We choose it because we could learn in English as we did not speak very much Italian. When we arrived, the two people who greeted us used an app to translate since they didn’t speak any English. We explained it was difficult to learn a cooking method if we couldn’t communicate and needed an app which would be difficult to use while cooking with our hands. We explained that it was booked because it would be in a language we understood and wished to just cancel. The woman became irate and rude. The man understood and agreed to the refund. We left and asked for a refund through the app but was told by the company that they would not refund us even though the person we booked it with agreed to the refund. This was a terrible way to end our trip in Italy and is the worst mistake we made on our honeymoon. Awful way to run a business that should be about having a great time enjoying great food!!
Our hosts were amazing and made the experience unforgettable. We felt at home making a lovely meal and learning the techniques to make tiramisu and ravioli.
Our family had such a wonderful time during this small cooking class! Our hosts graciously invited us to their home and told us stories about their family, culture and life in Italy. This was an incredibly unique experience where I learned new skills such as making pasta by hand but more importantly I made such a great human connection with local people in Genoa. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to prioritize family experiences and wholesome fun :)
