Fun experience - Book this activity now! It was a wonderful experience for my husband, myself and our two teenage daughters. Alberto and Amy were excellent hosts.

My mom and I loved it! - We had a wonderful time with Alberto! He walked us through each step to make the pesto pasta, shared some local baked goods, taught us about every ingredient, gave us homemade tiramisu, and shared the recipes! He was so witty and made the experience wonderful for my mom and I. We really enjoyed the rooftop terrace and the girls who joined us were so fun too! We definitely recommend this activity to anyone who visits Genoa. :)

Great experience - This course was fantastic. Alberto told us everything about the Pesto from Genova and so much more about ligurian food and tradition. He showed us every single step from making pesto and making pasta called picagge. Then we repeat everything by ourself.
Alberto took care of us invidually and was very hospitable.
The working on the roof terrace was amazing. Thank you Alberto

Great Cooking Experience - This was a fantastic experience with chef Alberto. He was very informative on the ingredients, where they are procured, and importance of using quality ingredients. We made fresh pasta and pesto, both were far better than we get in America.
Alberto provided delicious appetizers, really nice wine and a wonderful dessert.
I would highly recommend this tour.

Knowledgeable & fun cooking class! - Alberto is very knowledgeable about the history of Genova & the history of pesto. The location for the cooking class was beautiful. We ate on his rooftop in his home.
My friends and I enjoyed his explanations of each step of the pasta & pesto making. He was even kind of enough to send us recipes and recommendations in the area for dinner. We enjoyed our time with Alberto. I recommend his class!
