The only cooking class in which Camilla Pizzorno, Mortar Pesto World Champion, teaches you her recipe, reveals her secrets... and makes you enjoy an authentic three-course Ligurian menu with Italian wine and spirits. 1.

5.00Very fun, local and authentic experience! It was easily the best experience of our Genova trip. The hosts are very friendly, welcoming and hospitable and make you feel at home. We learned a lot about making pesto using local ingredients and it was the best pesto we have eaten. It was easy to access from the train station (less than 10 minutes walk) and is in a beautiful neighborhood of Genova. The pesto, focaccia, trofie pasta, and tiramisu were all delicious and authentic. We would do this again in a heartbeat.
Go go go!!!

5.00Best pesto class in the whole world!!! Lorenzo and Camilla are professionnal but mostly genuinely such sweet people <3 They took the time to explain every step and answered all our questions. Of course the pesto is delicious, probably the best we ever had!! This class is truly a must do for anyone staying in Genova. You’ll leave their place with so many memories, in your head and on your phone given that Lorenzo took over 100 pictures of the session :) We could only recommend this class it was the best!!!

5.00Our hosts, Lorenzo & Camille, greeted us with warm smiles. Even though we are home chefs, this pesto cooking class was still very informative and fun! We felt like we were at home with family. So accomplished and thoughtful hosts! We lived every moment! They even arranged to have us picked up & dropped off at our accommodations. Thank you for sharing your kitchen and family recipe with us!
We had a great time...

5.00We had such a lovely time here. Camilla and Lorenzo made us feel at home in a traditional Italian family home. We made pesto and learned about the important techniques to get it just right. If you are in Genoa you NEED to book this. 11/10
Rating: 5 out of 5 – An unforgettable culinary experience in the heart of Liguria!

5.00This isn’t just a cooking class – it’s a journey right into Liguria’s soul. Standing side by side with world champion Camilla Pizzorno, who generously shares her secret pesto recipe and craft tips, is an experience you never forget. Getting to bump basil in an antique mortar over 100 years old feels like participating in a living tradition, where every scent and movement carries history. The freshly cooked pesto is served with fresh focaccia, handmade trofie or gnocchi – and ends with a delicious Genoese pandolce that finishes it off. Everything is accompanied by local wines and classic Italian liqueurs such as limoncello, mirto and amaro Camatti – a perfect balance of flavours and culture. The environment is as magical as the food – a lush garden in summer and a cosy heated outdoor space in winter, making the experience just as charming all year round. A course filled with passion, warmth and genuine Italian food. 👉 Highly recommended to anyone who loves authentic food and wants to experience something for real!
I really enjoyed...

5.00I really enjoyed this experience! Welcoming was warm and we were able to make our pesto with Camilla's wise advice. Then we were able to enjoy the pesto with focaccia and trofies (probably the best pesto I've ever eaten!) and there were also other Italian dishes (like Camilla's mom's delicious frittata 😍). Thank you:)
Her Nonna must be so proud

5.00My husband is a self-proclaimed pesto aficionado, and this was the perfect experience. If you’re looking for generic, cookie-cutter, cattle herding experience, this is not for you. Instead, here you are welcomed into a warm Italian home and brought in on a proud granddaughter’s award winning version of her Nonna’s recipe. The entire experience exudes kindness and authentic Italian hospitality! Look no further, your dream pesto class is this one. Ps. they also offer pickup service so you don’t have to argue with a taxi and can partake in the aperitif.
The best pesto and experience!

5.00Seriously, the best pesto I’ve ever eaten. Camilla and Lorenzo were fabulous hosts and teachers. I cannot eat gluten and they made all the accommodations so that I was able to enjoy every step of the experience. This is a rare occurrence for me, so very appreciated! While Camilla’s home is a bit away from the city, being there added to the intimacy and authenticity of the experience. Lorenzo takes pictures and puts them on your phone before you leave. They thought of everything to make sure the experience is great! I can’t wait to try making Camilla’s recipe at home!
