What a great way to see the market and cook with a restaurant chef. We got to help pick the menu and learned how to make many new dishes. We also enjoyed that it was a small group and got to know the host and fellow attendees. A must do if you are in Venice!

Rosa is a true jewel! Her home is truly lovely and welcoming. We actually learned to make the dishes and had so much fun while we cooked and ate our way through the day. The food was absolutely spectacular- and Rosa could not have been sweeter. We can’t wait to go back and visit her. Thank you Rosa! Highly recommend this to everyone that likes to cook and eat amazingly ng food.

This was an exceptional experience. Lorenzo took us first on a tour of the Rialto Market where he sells seafood and vegetables for our creative cooking. Then we walked to Lorenzo’s apartment, where he made as welcome, and showed us how to cook tagliatelle pasta two shrimp dishes and two kinds of baked salmon. Let’s not forget Tiramisu for dessert!

Lorenzo met us at Rialto Market. As we walked through the market, Lorenzo shared great information about where the different types of fish, meats and produce came from. He asked our likes/dislikes as he shopped for the ingredients for the meal we were going to prepared. He adjusted the menu using the information he gathered from us and the availability of ingredients.
We then walked through Venice to Lorenzo’s flat where we enjoyed wine from a local winery as we prepared fresh pastas with Bolognese we all helped make, fresh fish, tiramisu and homemade sorbet made from fresh peaches from the market.
We then sat down to enjoy a wonderful meal we all helped to create. Lorenzo was a gracious host and shared a wealth of knowledge.
We highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to submerse themselves in the culture and cuisine of Venezia!!

We had a fantastic cooking session with Lorenzo, who had a varied and delicious menu for us. It was definitely plentiful.
We made focaccia from scratch, as well as spinach and ricotta ravioli.
We also had a captées salad, asparagus, carpaccio, artichokes… and it was topped off with a tiramisu.
Most items where purchased fresh from Rialto that morning.
Please note there is no market on a Sunday and the fish market is closed on a Monday so this will affect your menu.
I thought maybe for the ricotta and mozzarella it could have been bought fresh from the market shops and not a supermarket.
It was brilliant to learn how to make simple food which tasted so nice.
My only comment would be there was not really a wine tasting, but wine to drink. I thought this was slightly misleading but probably a language translation issue. For the price being more than others I was expecting it… however, we had a great time and I would not only recommend but I would also do it again.
Many thanks to the Chef and our fun group!

We had a great day with Lorenzo, our favorite Venice experience! Easy to connect at meeting point, informative tour of fish market and fresh produce market. 25 minute walk to his kitchen, where our family of 5 and another couple prepared a feast with his instruction. Fococcia, fresh fish, spinach and ricotta ravioli with fresh pasta, stuffed peppers, capreses, tiramasu. Very comfortable and casual, ple ty of wine and soft drinks, everyone had a hand in cooking. Lorenzo was sensitive to our nut allergy and provided alternative for one with fish sensitivity. Fantastic experience not to miss!
