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

We had the best time ever! 100% worth doing during your trip to Genoa! Fresh ingredients, detailed instruction, and an incredible view were just some of the great aspects of the class!

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.

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!

The cooking class was so much fun! My husband and I were in Genoa for the day on our cruise and wanted to take a cooking class while in Italy. Alberto was an awesome host. The food was amazing and we cannot wait to try our new skills at home. Highly recommend to anyone in Genoa!

We had the best time at this class! It was one of our favorite parts of our 10 day Euro trip. Alberto was wonderful and provided such a great environment to learn about the history and also try making the food yourself. We thought the food was some of the best, if not the best, we had during our trip.

The host Alberto is extremely knowledgeable and is so generous with his experience as a chef and cultural ambassador.
