Join A Local Venetian Cooking Class

Lorenzo welcomes you into his home, in the popular Cannaregio district, for a 3-course Italian dinner. 

He cooks with fresh and seasonal ingredients (mostly seafood) bought from the Rialto market and provides several options for each course. His menu is based on the dishes passed through generations of his family. Taking a seat at Lorenzo's table will offer you a glimpse of his daily life. 

Sip on local wine throughout the meal as you get to know your host and learn about his upbringing in Venice.

I am an authentic Venetian, born with a passion for cooking transmitted by my mother. I have spent a lifetime working in kitchens of various restaurants and now I have the pleasure of introducing our culinary culture to my curious guests. 

Every day I go to the central Rialto market to choose the best fish and the freshest vegetables which I then offer to my guests. My cuisine/style of cooking is traditional, as it is what my family has always made: the pasta must be homemade!
