Overview

If you're looking to learn to cook traditional Italian food when in Venice, then look no further. Join your host Massimo on this 4-hour experience and explore Mercato di Rialto together while you'll shop for fresh ingredients for your cooking class. Walk to Massimo's home where you will learn to cook authentic Italian dishes before siting down at his dining table to share the meal you helped prepare. Learn to make homemade pasta from scratch and warm focaccia bread!

Massimo learned to cook from his family who owned a restaurant for many generations. His mother and nonna were influential in his appreciation for food. He enjoys hosting travelers at his home so he can share his passion for cooking and his city.

Massimo lives in a 600-year-old ancient building in the heart of Venice with a beautiful outdoor terrace. Massimo cooks dishes from the Veneto region - this includes Venice and Bologna. There is a strong tradition of serving both fish from the seaside and meat from the hills.

Fun, food and new friend

Massimo was very entertaining and taught us authentic pasta and focaccia recipes. We had fun and learned a lot too. Thank you Massimo for passing on family recipes.
Buon appetito

In a place supported by and dependent on tourism, it's a rare opportunity to have an intimate interaction with a local doing an everyday task – shopping in the Rialto market, cooking together and enjoying a meal with wine and conversation. We were warmly welcomed to the affable chef's home. Massimo was both attentive and flexible. It was a perfect afternoon.
Une belle expérience chez un authentique Vénitien.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment avec Massimo. Il nous a reçu chez lui en toute simplicité et nous a fait profiter de ses recettes de cuisine familiales dans la bonne humeur. Nous gardons un très bon souvenir de ce moment de partage authentique et chaleureux.
Ciao Massimo!!

Massimo was genuinely fantastic. We consider it the highlight of the trip. We will treasure his hospitality and shared experiences for a lifetime.
If you want a genuine taste of Venetian and Italian life, I can't think of a better way. He also gave us great tips on places to eat
