About Portofino
Portofino's food and wine scene is built on Ligurian staples — hand-rolled pasta, basil pounded into pesto, and olive oil from the hills above the harbour — and the best way to taste it is to make it yourself. A Pasta and Tiramisu Class in Italian Riviera: Learn Authentic Ligurian Flavors puts you at the counter with a local cook, while the Portofino Boat Tour with Pesto Making Class & Lunch pairs a Ligurian pesto lesson with time on the water.

Frequently asked questions
Portofino sits in Liguria, so the cooking here leans on basil grown on the surrounding terraces, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh anchovies and hand-rolled pasta shapes like trofie and corzetti. Many experiences are hands-on rather than tastings alone: you make pesto with a mortar and pestle, roll pasta, or assemble tiramisu, often with a local cook.
