A fabulous time in Genoa - Despite the awful wet weather, Alessandro offered an amazing cooking experience in his own home. Upon arrival he offered us an aperitif and snack (farinata), we then made 2 types of pasta and the most delicious pesto. He then cooked the pasta and were able to enjoy a fabulous lunch! We enjoyed this Italian experience immensely! Grazie Mille!!

Lovely little cooking class in Genova! - Alessandro was a great teacher & his garden was a beautiful atmosphere for the class. Pesto was deliciously flavourful & was very interesting to learn the process for making pasta & even a gluten free option! Definitely recommend ☺️

Pasta and Basil Making in A Garden!!! - We made 3 different kinds of pasta! One was square shaped with Chestnut flour. The second was made into little curly pasta. The third kind of pasta we cut in tiny circles and stamped with an Italian stamp! We made really nice basil pesto! We ate the pesto and pasta with white wine! Alessandro did a great job teaching us! The garden trees are pretty! It was fun!

Unique class - Such a unique experience and a very traditional feel due to the environment we cooked in!
Disclaimer: There are many many steps you walk up to the location (cooks Italian home) and I recommend wearing closed toed shoes as well as a light jacket or pants (at least in the cooler months)
Everything was provided and very hands on, the cook is a great teacher and very welcoming.
I would recommend any one to give it a try for their first time.

Good pasta, good vine, good vibes - Lovely experience in a nice atmosphere, chilled vibes with a nice vine. Everyone got a chance to make their own pasta and pesto and we all dined together at the end. The teacher was really helpful answering all questions and given us the detailed recipe at the end

A taste of ligurian home cooking - You‘re not just cooking pasta and creating pesto - you will make meals how it was created from a local family. Alessandro was a great host and instructor. The food was great and cooking noobs don’t have to worry - everything is explained step by step. I can only recommend his class!

Homemade pasta and pesto - Alessandro opens his home to you and your group. He guides you along the way to creating delicious homemade pasta and pesto sauce. At the end, you enjoy your creation on his patio with a nice view of the port.
