ZEFFIRINO PESTO GOES ON BOARD COSTA CRUISES SHIPS
In the restaurants of the Costa Toscana and Costa Smeralda flagships, which call at Genoa and Savona every week, the iconic dish of Ligurian tradition will be served, with high-quality ingredients: trofie dressed with pesto from the renowned Zeffirino restaurant in Genoa.
Genoa, 8 August 2023 - Costa Cruises and Zeffirino restaurant sign a partnership under the banner of high gastronomic quality, to promote together the excellence of Ligurian cuisine.
From today, guests on holiday aboard the flagships Costa Toscana and Costa Smeralda will be able to enjoy an authentic delicacy: pesto (a green sauce originated in Genoa) from the historic Genoese restaurant, made according to the original recipe and with selected ingredients from the Italian territory.
The pesto will be paired with artisanal “trofie” (a type of pasta from Liguria), creating an iconic dish of Ligurian tradition: “trofie with pesto”. This delicacy can be ordered in the main restaurants of the two ships, choosing from the premium options available on the menu for an additional fee.
A novelty, signed by two companies united by their Genoese origins and a heritage of over 75 years of history and innovation, which will allow thousands of guests, both Italian and international, to discover the territory of the Liguria region also through the flavours of its cuisine. As a matter of fact, the two ships on which it will be possible to taste Zeffirino's trofie with pesto visit Liguria every week.
