Experience Details
Learn to make the famous Ligurian sauce in the city where it was born, topped off with a stunning terrace view over Genoa! Welcome to a genuine home in the historic center. In this intimate class, a local chef will teach you grandmother's secrets to making perfect "Pasta Fresca" and authentic Pesto from scratch.
Your journey takes place in a top-floor apartment boasting a panoramic terrace. (Please note: as typical of historic Genoa, the apartment is on the 5th floor without an elevator). After rolling dough and crushing fresh basil, enjoy a convivial feast featuring a traditional antipasto, your handmade pasta, a local dessert, regional wines, and a typical liqueur. Weather permitting, dine on the terrace; on colder or rainy days, you'll enjoy your meal in our cozy indoor dining room.
