Alberto’s cooking class was a highlight of our trip to Genoa. He’s very kind and instructive. In addition to making pesto and pasta we were also served some Genovese pies, focaccia and wine. A delicious experience!

Awesome experience learning to cook Genoese pesto and pasta with a small group. Chef Alberto had a wealth of experience and knowledge, he was such a great teacher! He welcomed us into his home and was so generous with snacks and drinks. He shared his expert knowledge about pesto and was so helpful with local recommendations too.

Booked for 11am, was told to change to 18:00 the following day then to cancel then it was reconfirmed then cancelled again then confirmed. Turned up for the event and told to go away - still no refund from the company - appalling communication and customer service

Lovely welcoming lady, however the booking was changed 3 times (what is the point of checking availability?) Once there the class was disappointingly more appropriate for small children, (we were given turns to stir the mixture etc.) No recipes were given and we only made half of what was promised. Location was also not as advertised. Tripadvisors complaints procedure also shockingly well hidden!

Host was very very nice! We’ll prepared. Lovely setting. Friendly and considerate. Simple ingredients turned into a magic sauce.

It was an excellent cooking event. Cristina, our host, has warmly welcomed us at her house and shared with us her pasta and pesto insight. We, adults and kids loved the cooking and enjoyed the food and friendliness of Cristina. Thanks a lot.
