Cooking Genoese Pesto and gnocchi in the English Villa in Genoa
We look forward to welcoming you for a wonderful cooking lesson at Villa Serra di Comago in Genoa, dating back to the 16th century and built in the Tudor style. Together with Chef Tiziana, you will learn to prepare traditional Genoese dishes such as mortar-made pesto, gnocchi, Genoese focaccia, and the famous Recco-style cheese focaccia upon request. Delicious desserts like tiramisu or Genoese pandolce are also available upon request. Villa Serra is the perfect venue for bachelor or bachelorette parties, birthdays, and especially for team building. Book your cooking class or event in advance; Tiziana the chef and the staff are waiting for you! Nestled in the green heart of the Villa, the atmosphere is lovely year-round and incredibly relaxing and romantic—a true historical jewel. We'll have fun making authentic Genoese pesto together—to be enjoyed with focaccia and Prosecco—and then, in the large kitchen, we'll prepare authentic medieval-style gnocchi. Book your spot in time!

Where this sits in Genoa & Portofino
Genoa & Portofino is about 12 min by road from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport. A working port with a tangled old town and better food than its reputation, and the Riviera villages start immediately east. Portofino for the look of it; Genoa for actually staying.
