We had a great experience cooking with Alberto! From start to finish it was amazing. We were educated on every ingredients, learnt how to make pesto and pasta and throughly enjoyed our own cooked meal at the end! We can’t thank you enough, and 100% recommend doing this activity if coming to Genoa.

Amazing lesson! Alberto was an great teacher and gave very detailed explanations of each step, describing each process and ingredient making it very easy to follow along. We left the experience feeling very full and well looked after I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting the city well worth the money.

Alberto was a great teacher and a very knowledgeable chef. I learned to make fresh pasta from scratch and the most amazing pesto! His kitchen is located in such a cool area. It was a lot of fun to work in his kitchen. He served pizza appetizers, which were so wonderful. He provided a lot of important history into what makes the dish so special. I highly recommend this cooking experience.

If we could rate more than 5 stars we would! What an amazing experience - thank you Alberto! We also appreciate how accommodating he was with us needing to catch a train (we made it just in time). Alberto was great at explaining where each ingredient comes from, why it’s used, and how to make pasta and pesto properly. Everyone got to have a go with each step. The best part was eating it at the end! His home is so welcoming and comfortable. The whole evening was so enjoyable and definitely a highlight of our trip!

We just loved the pasta and pesto class, with the most friendly and skilled chef! We experienced a wonderful time in a very generous, authentic and inspireing environment. A lot of new tips to try when back in Sweden!

With Alberto's expert knowledge and help my friend and I were able to make delicious pasta and pesto—honestly the best I had on our trip! Not only is Alberto a great chef and teacher but he is also incredibly kind and attentive. The bread that he served us was also amazing. I'm beyond thankful to have had this experience and would 100% recommend it to anyone else interested in doing a cooking class and making real Genovese pesto in Genoa!

This was the best cooking class I’ve ever attended. I am SO GLAD we booked it. You can tell Alberto is passionate about food. Every detail was carefully considered making the experience from start to finish purely enjoyable. You arrive at his apartment which gives the experience an authentic feeling. He offered us focaccia and cappuccino as soon as he arrived. His kitchen was clean and organized with every ingredient intentional and thoughtfully sourced. He is a chef by trade and offers classes on the side which shows in his expertise. He was patient and kind while teaching us how to make the pasta and pesto. And he offered us wine while we waited for our pasta to cook. The end result was the best pasta I’ve ever eaten! He even had a typical “Nonna’s” dessert and an Italian liquor to end the meal. I learned so much and would recommend this to anyone! If you’re on the fence, just book it! You will be so glad you did!

Our experience was fantastic! I only hope I can replicate the pasta and pesto when I get home. Alberto also provided suggestions to see while in Genoa and even helped with dinner reservations! I feel like we have a new friend in Genoa. We highly recommend!
