Do you love authentic Italian food? This is the perfect Cinque Terre cooking experience to learn how to make traditional Pesto Genovese from scratch.
Using a classic mortar and pestle, you will follow the time-honored Ligurian method and my grandmother’s treasured recipe.
Upon arrival, my dog Ettore and I will welcome you to our kitchen with a refreshing glass of Prosecco. Once your handmade pesto is ready, you will enjoy it paired with a delicious plate of fresh pasta. The incredible, vibrant flavor will instantly make you forget all about the steep village stairs you climbed to get here! As we eat, we will share pleasant conversation and discover the rich history and culinary traditions behind Ligurian cuisine.
This exclusive foodie experience takes place inside an authentic 16th-century private home located right in the center of Riomaggiore. Just a few steps from the kitchen, you can admire a stunning panoramic view of the sea and the town from our 3rd-floor rooftop terrace. From this vantage point, you can appreciate the characteristic colorful tower-houses built along the steep contours of the hill—a fantastic sight that defines the magic of the Cinque Terre.
