Great class - We had a great time and learned a lot. Alberto is an excellent teacher. We had never made pasta from scratch before. The recipe and techniques that Alberto taught us were easy to follow and we look forward to making pasta this way at home. We had made pesto before but now we now we know how to make really GOOD pesto!

A fun and informative hands-on pesto & pasta class - Our group enjoyed an afternoon in the home of an accomplished chef learning to make authentic pesto and pasta. Our host Alberto welcomed us with appetizers as he gave us the plans for the afternoon ahead of us. His calm, relaxed approach to first showing us, then encouraging us as we worked together to make our pesto and pasta, opened my eyes to how pesto is supposed to taste! His knowledge and expertise, sprinkled with humor gave me the tools I need to recreate this at home and why this dish is so wonderful when it's made properly.
Following our meal, Alberto's partner served us what I would rate as the very best Tiramisu I have so far tasted. I enthusiastically recommend this class for anyone staying in and around Genoa.

Alessandra and Silvia... - Alessandra and Silvia were the nicest and most amazing hosts! The cooking class was super fun and educational; we learned how to cook pasta and pesto from scratch with the help of great chefs. The whole group had a great time and we hope we can return soon for another class.
