Step into the heart of Genoa and discover one of Liguria’s most beloved recipes: salsa di noci (walnut sauce). In our cozy food boutique, just steps from Christopher Columbus’ House, you’ll prepare this creamy sauce the traditional way — with mortar and pestle. Guided by a local host, you’ll blend walnuts, bread, garlic, and cheese into a velvety paste, then enjoy it served over pasta with a glass of fine Ligurian wine. To make the memory last, you’ll also receive a Certificate of Participation. A hands-on culinary experience that combines tradition, taste, and the warm atmosphere of Genoa’s historic center.

This isn’t a typical guided tour, but a glimpse into a daily ritual that still shapes life along the Ligurian coast. The 'passeggiata' is how locals slow down at the end of the day: stepping out for fresh air, a chat, or simply to see and be seen. Rather than explaining it from the outside, I share it as it’s actually lived. Santa Margherita Ligure is a place I’ve returned to over the years, and where my family has deep roots. This personal connection shapes the way I lead my walks: informal, attentive, and grounded in real familiarity with the town. We won’t rush from sight to sight. Instead, we take time to notice small details, follow the natural rhythm of the evening, and experience the town as locals do. For those choosing the “Italian on the Go” option, a gentle language guidance is also included, with simple phrases and conversation naturally woven into the walk, allowing you to engage more directly with the place. A small effort with Italian can transform your experience.
