This cooking class welcomes you into a beautiful stone-view home set high above Riomaggiore, where a local chef invites you to explore the traditions of Ligurian cooking. With panoramic views of the sea and surrounding olive groves, you will learn how to prepare delicate homemade gnocchi and fragrant Genovese pesto using classic methods that have been part of local Italian kitchens for generations.

Following step-by-step guidance, you will grind basil, pine nuts and Parmigiano Reggiano by hand, shape soft gnocchi from scratch and enjoy your freshly made dishes paired with regional wines. Your class concludes with a traditional Italian dessert such as tiramisù or another Italian sweet chosen for the season.

We loved the experience of learning to cook with Barbara. She spent a great amount of time instructing us on how to properly prepare the food. You could tell she had a strong passion for food and all the ingredients.

Our group had so much fun! The atmosphere was amazing and so fun to be in. The wine was delicious and the food was amazing. I can’t wait to try these recipes at home even though they will nowhere close to Barbara’s. If I come back to Italy I will definitely book another cooking class with her!

My granddaughter and I had the most delightful time learning to make ravioli, tagliatelle pasta, and tiramisu from Giulia! Giulia is an excellent teacher, very encouraging of our efforts to follow her instructions, and we enjoyed a delightful lunch of all the delicious Italian foods we made! We strongly encourage others to book this experience. Very much worth your time.
