About This Dish 

Our delicious basil pesto pays homage to the culinary traditions of Liguria, a region in the northwest of Italy, which is home to the beautiful Italian Riviera. This stunning stretch of coastline is adorned by charming towns with picturesque marinas that are lined with alluring eateries. Whilst the glamour of the riviera attracts yachts full of aristocrats and a-listers, it is the simplicity and authenticity of Liguria’s cuisine that appeals most of all to us. With just a handful of fresh ingredients, local nonne – grandmothers – can whip up a feast, drawing on a culinary heritage that has stood the test of time. Our pesto recipe is a tribute to the dramatic port city of Genoa, incorporating the traditional ingredients that this classic salsa – sauce – should.
To complement our pesto in all its glory, our chefs have chosen to pair it with rigatoni, that helps capture the pesto perfectly, offering a taste of Liguria in all its rustic beauty.
