Discover Riomaggiore through its flavors

The culinary identity of Riomaggiore is shaped by Ligurian seafood and herb-driven coastal traditions passed down through generations. Liguria's steep terraced hillsides, carved over centuries, produce the world's most aromatic basil and delicate Taggiasca olives. The tiny fishing villages yield anchovies salt-cured by hand, while the terraces of Cinque Terre produce a rare dessert wine. When your private chef arrives at your accommodation near Riomaggiore, they bring the best of this heritage: Ligurian basil for pesto, prescinsêua cheese, and focaccia di Recco, transformed into dishes such as pansoti con salsa di noci and farinata di ceci. Every ingredient tells the story of Liguria's terroir.

In Riomaggiore, a private chef experience transforms your holiday into something extraordinary. Your experience begins when your chef arrives at your accommodation with the day's finest ingredients from Liguria's local markets and producers. After a welcome drink and a chat about your preferences, the magic starts. Imagine colorful seaside terraces above the Mediterranean, hidden cove gardens, panoramic clifftop villas, harbor-side tables watching fishing boats return — while your chef prepares a bespoke multi-course menu. You might start with a light appetizer, move through handmade pasta like trofie al pesto genovese, enjoy a main such as farinata di ceci, and finish with corzetti. Each course is paired with wines like Pigato or Vermentino Riviera Ligure. Your chef handles everything: cooking, plating, serving, and a spotless kitchen at the end.
