One of the absolute highlights of our Italian holiday was Alberto’s rooftop pasta and pesto cooking class in the heart of Genoa. From the moment we stepped into his apartment, Alberto made us feel completely at home. We enjoyed a glass of local wine while taking in the beautiful rooftop views over Genoa before getting our hands dirty making fresh pasta and traditional Genovese pesto. The funniest part? We ended up beating an Italian family (a dad and his two daughters) in the pesto challenge! Even Alberto agreed ours had the perfect consistency. We’re still smiling about our unexpected victory! The whole experience was relaxed, friendly and full of laughs. Alberto is a fantastic host who shares not only his cooking skills but also his passion for Genoa and its food. If you’re visiting the city, don’t miss this class. It’s a wonderful way to experience authentic Italian hospitality.
From rooftop views over Genoa to handmade pasta, traditional Genovese pesto and plenty of laughs — this is exactly the authentic Italian experience we pour our hearts into. So glad it was a holiday highlight!
Great fun, interesting to hear the history behind the food, enjoyed the rooftop location
Good vibes, traditional local flavors, and a stunning rooftop setting are exactly what we aim for! We're thrilled you had great fun learning the history behind authentic Genovese cuisine. Making hands-on dishes during your Rooftop Cooking Class in Genoa: Pesto, Fresh Pasta & Wine is a wonderful way to experience the city. Grazie mille for cooking with us!
Had the most amazing time on the rooftop - the roof is and a family of 3! The food was remarkable!! I loved the history the most and learning about Genova and why their food is different from other cities in Italy. The aperitif and first course were phenomenal. We got to enjoy them after making the pasta and pesto by hand. And then we got to eat the pasta with our freshly made pesto sauce. Alberto (I hope I spelled it right) was remarkable!! The dessert after was so great too! A nice Genoise take on tiramisu.
Hearing that you loved learning the history of Genova and tasting that Genoise tiramisu is the best compliment! We are thrilled you had an amazing time at our authentic Rooftop Cooking Class in Genoa: Pesto, Fresh Pasta & Wine. Alberto loves sharing traditional local flavors through a hands-on experience. We're so glad the phenomenal food made your day. Grazie mille!
This is a fun experience, nestled away in a little pathway. Make sure you can climb up narrow staircases! If you can definitely worth it! Be sure and watch the video on how to arrive at the location.

Alberto is very friendly and authentic. Great terrace! The cooking class was very well organized. Everything was delicious, and we had a lot of fun!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback on our Rooftop Cooking Class in Genoa.

Fresh pasta, pesto, local wine, and a great atmosphere, that’s a combination hard to beat. We would love to welcome you back for another delicious afternoon overlooking Genoa.
This was a once in a lifetime type experience. The class was conducted in the rooftop patio of the chief's home. There was four of us in the class. The chief made everyone feel very comfortable as we made pest and pasta. In addition the chief made us a small breakfast before we started the class and provided a dessert after we ate our pesto and pasta. Highly recommend this cooking experience. PS sorry for the late review.
Thank you for this thoughtful review of our Rooftop Cooking Class in Genoa. There’s something truly special about making fresh pasta and pesto on a chef’s own terrace, surrounded by the city’s rooftops and that warm, unhurried atmosphere. We’re so glad the small group size helped everyone feel at ease, and that the little touches like a morning bite and dessert made the experience even more memorable. A once-in-a-lifetime experience is the highest compliment, and please don’t apologise for the timing, we’re just happy it stayed with you long enough to share. We would love to welcome you back anytime you’re in Genoa.
This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! The class was fun, hands-on, and incredibly informative. Alberto was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable, sharing not only great cooking techniques but also insights into Italian food and culture. Making fresh pasta from scratch was a fantastic experience, and we left with new skills, delicious food, and wonderful memories. The atmosphere was welcoming and authentic, making it feel much more personal than a typical tourist activity. If you're visiting Genoa, I highly recommend this class. It was a truly memorable experience and one of our favorite parts of the trip!
