This was bar far the most authentic and friendly experience we’ve had while in Italy. The entire family is so sweet and hospitable. The outdoor garden is gorgeous. Lorenzo was very communicative and picked us up from the port. Camilla was so sweet and an excellent teacher. We each got to make our own pesto and we’re never going back to Barilla again. There is a reason why Camilla is the world champion! The pesto, focaccia, and pasta were delicious and oh the tiramisu, oh my goodness amazing and beautifully presented. We were also offered white wine as well as an aperitif to end the meal. Lorenzo took pictures and videos through the class for us and even gave us some tips on where to visit when dropping us off. It was incredible value! The food, the people, and the overall experience was of the highest quality. It felt like family!

Exceptional Hospitality and the Ultimate Pesto-Making Class
Learning to make authentic pesto with Lorenzo and Camille was the highlight of our afternoon. They are such a welcoming and passionate couple who guide you through every step of the process with ease. Not only did we walk away with the secrets to making incredible pesto, but sitting down afterward to enjoy it over fresh focaccia and trofie pasta followed by tiramisu made the experience truly special. Thank you, Lorenzo and Camille, for such world-class hospitality and unforgettable memories!

Amazing experience
It's not every day you get to learn how to make pesto from The World Pesto Making Champion!
What a wonderful experience, all while learning about the importance of the tools, process and the ingredients. Our kids loved it too. The hospitality was so amazing that, afterwards, our son thought we had been visiting friends. Highly recommended.

More Than a Cooking Class—A True Italian Experience
Lorenzo and Camila were such wonderful hosts! When we booked, we didn’t realize our accommodations were about an hour away. They were incredibly understanding of our situation and immediately put our minds at ease by allowing us to keep our reservation even though we arrived a little late.
Camila made the pesto-making experience both fun and informative, explaining each step with enthusiasm and patience. Her encouraging teaching style made our party of three feel like confident chefs in no time!
The meal we prepared was absolutely delicious, and the tiramisu was truly mouthwatering—the perfect ending to a fantastic experience.
We wholeheartedly recommend this class to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Lorenzo and Camila, for your warm hospitality, kindness, and for sharing your knowledge and passion with us. It was an experience we’ll always remember!

The beauty of pesto
Lorenzo and Camilla were absolutely fantastic! I learned how to make authentic pesto from such a warm, beautiful couple in their back garden from a World Pesto Champion!! It was lovely to hear all about the beauty of the whole experience from the equipment to all the ingredients. They were incredible and the pesto tasted delightful - would highly recommend as a fun way to learn more about Genoa and Genovese pesto

Best Pesto I Have Ever Eaten!
This was a wonderful experience that is definitely worth doing while visiting Genoa. The hosts were very friendly and hospitable and made the class fun and easy. It was nice to hear about all of the local ingredients used and the impact on the taste and texture of the pesto. I don't think I will ever be able to eat store bought pesto again. Thank you for a fun, tasty and memorable moment on my vacation!

Wonderful cooking class for our family
This was the perfect cooking experience! My husband, my daughter, and I all enjoyed ourselves immensely! The hosts were kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating. My daughter is 9 years old, and they did an amazing job teaching her to make pesto along with the adults. Making the pesto was a treat, and the food we ate was delicious! Thank you for such a wonderful experience for our family!

Not to be missed!!
We usually have cooking class experiences, but this is the first time we have found an experience so meticulously curated!!
From the moment we arrived until we left, we felt welcomed like family members.
Camilla and Lorenzo explained everything to us with professionalism and passion.
We made an absolutely amazing pesto, we understood the differences between homemade pesto and store-bought pesto, and we have the recipe to replicate once we return home!
The table was meticulously arranged, just like everything we ate.
We will definitely return to them for more experiences, thank you guys💚

Spectacular! Just do it! Long live the Vero Pesto Genovês with Camila and Lorenzo!
The best culinary experience I've ever had in Italy. I would like to thank the charming couple Camila and Lorenzo! It was a trip that I was doing alone. Despite being low season they did not cancel! They honored the reservation and I did the class alone! The place is beautiful, first-class ingredients, very fun class! Everything perfect and delicious! I met Nonna (who taught Camila the recipe), a cute girl! Learning the genovese pesto was an unforgettable experience. Don't stop doing it!

great vibes, great food, great company
This was great experience and I fully recommend it! Camilla and Lorenzo were super welcoming, great teachers and a wonderful company. They were so nice and accommodating - I ran late and also was the only person in the session and still it was the full experience. It was great - both just having a regular human conversation and also very detailed explanation of all steps of the preparation process and the reasons behind them. I loved learning about all the details that make real pesto and how the different treatments of the different ingredients contribute to the flavour. I am so excited to try this again at home!
