Rooftop Cooking Class in Genoa: Pesto, Fresh Pasta & Wine｜Italy

Welcome to a genuine historic home in the heart of Genoa! Join an intimate and fun cooking class where a passionate local chef will teach you grandmother's ancient secrets to making the perfect Italian food.

Your culinary journey takes place in a beautiful top-floor apartment boasting a panoramic rooftop. (Please note: as is typical of Genoa's charming historical buildings, the apartment is on the 5th floor without an elevator, but the view is absolutely worth the climb!).

Roll up your sleeves and start by mixing flour, water, and eggs to create the perfect fresh pasta dough. Then, discover the true Ligurian recipe for pesto by traditionally crushing fresh basil, European pine nuts, garlic, and Parmigiano-Reggiano with premium olive oil.

Once the hard work is done, sit down and relax. Enjoy a convivial feast featuring a traditional antipasto, the delicious pasta you prepared, and a local Genoese dessert. Complete the experience by toasting with regional wines and a typical local liqueur.

Weather permitting, dining will take place on the panoramic rooftop. During autumn, winter, or rainy days, you will enjoy your meal in the warm and cozy indoor dining room.
