Authentic Cinque Terre Cooking Class in Riomaggiore
Join this hands-on cooking class in Riomaggiore to learn how to make authentic, handmade Ligurian pasta (Trofie) and traditional Pesto Genovese from scratch.
Following my grandmother's secret recipe and classic techniques, you will also master the art of crafting a rich, creamy Italian Tiramisù—the perfect reward after walking up the village stairs to my kitchen!
This exclusive culinary experience takes place right in the village center, inside an authentic 16th-century private house. After the workshop, you can step out onto our 3rd-floor roof terrace to enjoy a stunning, panoramic view of the sea and the village. From here, you can appreciate the unique landscape of the colored tower-houses built along the steep hills, offering a fantastic glance that defines the true essence of the Cinque Terre.
