Funny Cooking Class in Genova with Local Chef: Full Ligurian Menu

About this tour

Spend four and a half hours in central Genova learning to cook six authentic Ligurian dishes alongside chef Fabrizio, a seasoned kitchen veteran who trained under his grandmother's watch. You'll prepare panissa, four focaccia varieties, pesto gnocchi, and panera from quality ingredients in a spacious studio, then sit down to eat everything you've made, paired with local wine. Fabrizio's focaccia reputation extends beyond delicatessens—his technique produces bread that stands apart.

Highlights

• Master four distinct focaccia styles from Genova's go-to chef
• Prepare six courses from starter through dessert yourself
• Learn pesto gnocchi, panissa, and regional panera recipes
• Eat your own cooking with wine in relaxed company
• Work in wheelchair-accessible central studio with all tools provided

What to expect

Fabrizio walks you through each dish step by step, translating techniques so they stick. You're not watching—you're handling dough, mixing sauces, shaping gnocchi. The space is roomy enough to move without crowding. Once cooking wraps, you sit together at table with what you've made. Wine flows, conversation happens naturally. Fabrizio speaks English and Italian and treats the whole thing as a chat with someone keen on food, not a performance.
