Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Pesto alla Genovese
  • A Ligurian aperitif
  • Trofie with pesto
  • Wine tasting

A marble mortar, Genovese DOP basil, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, salt, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Pecorino cheese: the perfect ingredients for a challenge to prepare the tastiest and most balanced Genovese pesto. A good dose of manual skill and a little practice, following the instructions of foodteller Fabio Bongiorni, for an engaging experience for couples or groups. After a toast with a glass of Ligurian Vermentino, you will taste your pesto with a delicious aperitif of focaccia and other typical bruschetta, finishing with the inevitable Italian coffee.

Cesarina from 2022Location: Chiavari (GE)    Languages: Italian, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish
I am from Liguria, and I love sharing the soul of my homeland with my guests, from the aroma of freshly crushed basil in the traditional marble mortar to recipes that have been telling the story of Ligurian cuisine for generations. My goal is to offer an authentic experience filled with local flavors, genuine encounters, and fascinating stories, because I believe that food is the best way to truly discover a place. I also guide my guests through Santa Margherita Ligure with my Food Tours: leisurely walks among historic shops, local producers, and regional specialties, where I introduce them to the most authentic side of Liguria, one taste at a time. It's an experience designed for those who want to explore the area like a local, guided by its flavors and traditions.
