Massimo is a rare breed in Italy - a proud sailor, though, sadly, the last in a long line of sailors in his family. 

He invites you to try the traditional food a Venetian sailor would call dinner, featuring many delights from the deep world.

Try an ancient sardine recipe that has been around this area for millennia. Enjoy cuttlefish, grilled prawns, mackerel and as much freshly caught fish as Massimo can feed you as he hosts you in his beautiful ancient home!

I am Massimo, one of the last sailors of Venice. As a true local Venetian, I love the sea and sharing good food with pleasant company. ... And if not cooking fish, what else could a sailor do on shore?!

Often traveling for work and pleasure, I like visiting other countries, tasting and discovering their culture and culinary specialties. I have been to many places in the world, at least those with a harbor, and I have never got tired of meeting new people. 

I live in an ancient palace with my best friends and I would be glad to introduce you to this world of real people, off the beaten tourist track!
