Do not miss! A perfect taste of Ligurian cuisine!

We took the ferry from Monterosso to Riomaggiore for our class. It was a beautiful ride, but our time with Lucca was even more magical. Lucca is a delightful host. We learned history of the food and he was very funny and kind in his instruction. Our meal was perfectly delicious! It was our best night in Italy/CT so far. Would highly recommend this amazing class with Lucca!

Know before you go

Riomaggiore can get busy in summer, so book tours and accommodations well in advance.
Bring comfortable, sturdy walking shoes, as the village roads are steep and often uneven.
While many hotels and tourist attractions in Riomaggiore are wheelchair and stroller accessible, the village’s steep and narrow lanes can be challenging to navigate for anyone with mobility issues.
