Shared experience

Tiziana welcomes you to the park of Villa Serra di Comago, an English-style jewel with centuries-old trees, 250 varieties of hydrangea and a romantic lake home to black and white swans and oriental ducks. In spring and summer the mortar pesto class takes place in the garden; in autumn and winter in the villa's carefully restored kitchen. After visiting the historic halls of 1763, renovated in 2004, we taste the pesto we made together with Genoese focaccia and prosecco. Then hands go back in the dough for gnocchi or trofie, to eat with the pesto you just made.

What we will cook together

  • Pesto in the mortar with PDO basil

    In the garden in summer, in the villa's kitchen in winter

  • Gnocchi or trofie

    Fresh pasta made by hand, dressed with the pesto you just pounded

Genoese pesto in the mortar with a certified teacher

We knead Genoese focaccia together, hands in the dough, discovering every secret of its making. While we wait for it to rise we turn to real pesto alla genovese in the mortar: you get the mortar and the original PDO basil from Genova Prà, and together with Tiziana, a certified master and a competitor at the Pesto World Championship, you make your own pesto. We finish with the freshly baked focaccia and your own pesto, with a glass of chilled Prosecco.

Pesto and cooking class between sea and nature in Montecontessa

Mara and Tiziana welcome you to an enchanting place between sea and mountains, surrounded by nature: a warm farmhouse with a wood-fired oven, a patio for the cooking classes and beautiful outdoor spaces overlooking the sea. At sunset we hold the mortar pesto and Genoese fresh pasta classes, for an authentic and convivial evening together. There is a large outdoor area for children, with games and farmyard animals to visit.

We knead pansotti, corzetti and tiramisu

A sensory journey into the past, caught up in the magic of kneading the fresh pasta that becomes pansotti, the traditional Genoese ravioli di magro: the filling is wild herbs from the Genoese valleys, ricotta and parmesan, dressed with the traditional walnut sauce. Then come Genoese corzetti with PDO pesto, and tiramisu to finish, also in a fresh fruit version.
