概要
Watch a Genoese chef prepare pesto for your tasting and then enjoy a full meal that highlights the local cuisine. After a short but scenic cruise to Santa Margherita, you will drive up the coast to the Old Port in Genoa. Its extraordinary aquarium, the largest in Italy, is the centerpiece. Still, to truly appreciate the Genoese culture, you must indulge in the food. You will have that opportunity at a restaurant in the Old Port district, where a chef will demonstrate how to make Pesto Genoese. The ingredients must be local and certified with a Protected Designation of Origin, otherwise the pesto isn’t authentic. The sauce will be served over trofie, small ribbed twists of pasta that are native to Liguria. After the tasting, you will settle in for a full meal of other Ligurian dishes that may include tortellini in a delicate walnut sauce.
