Pestobene In Genova

Simply delicious! Perfect pesto and very friendly people.

Super friendly and helpful staff with whom we laughed and joked! Not to mention the pesto! Even though I'm not a pesto fan, I literally devoured their trofie! I'm really glad I saw the little shop while walking around

Pesto pasta with fresh pasta. Reasonable price (8.50 euros) given the quality of the products! Very friendly salespeople!

This place deserves a higher rating and more stars! They serve the best fresh pesto I've ever tasted in my life. I was so impressed that I even purchased pesto sauce as gifts. They packaged it perfectly for travel, using ice bags to ensure it stays fresh and doesn't spoil. Highly recommend!

Non capisco come chi ha assaggiato questo pesto possa dire che non è buono! È davvero sublime! Non fatevi intimorire dai commenti di chi ha la presunzione di adattare i gusti al proprio palato e non viceversa. Personale all’interno gentilissimo e molto efficiente!

they gave me a jar for Christmas, I've never had better pesto. my compliments

Pestobene is a delightful culinary haven in Genoa, perfect for anyone who wants to experience authentic Ligurian pesto at its finest. Specializing in pesto made fresh using a traditional mortar and pestle, this charming spot delivers an unforgettable burst of flavor with every bite. The pesto here is an absolute revelation—vibrant, creamy, and fragrant with the perfect balance of fresh basil, pine nuts, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and olive oil. The traditional preparation method ensures a rich and authentic taste that elevates every dish. Whether you’re trying it with trofie pasta, gnocchi, or even spread on bread, it’s pure perfection. Tips: • Don’t miss the classic trofie al pesto, which pairs perfectly with their handmade sauce. • If available, try their pesto tasting menu to explore different variations. • They often offer jars of their pesto to take home—great for souvenirs or extending the experience.

Great little shop where they make pesto fresh. Even have a grinder right at the window so people can see the ingredients being mixed. They can give you some snacks with pesto too.

Good opportunity to quickly eat a first course or an appetizer with an excellent fresh pesto, made on the spot, at modest prices. However, you have to be content with sitting on stools at a counter. Very kind service. Unfortunately, if you want to buy pesto in glass jars, you have to consume it within a short time, because the jars cannot be sterilized.

Gostámos muito de almoçar aqui. Atendimento rápido e simpático. A comida estava deliciosa e o espaço, apesar de pequeno, é bastante agradável.
