A Traditional Sailor’s Supper In The Venetian Lagoon

Cooking class with a Venetian seaman

Experience a true Italian 'Apericena' in the heart of Venice!
The easiest way to describe apericena is that it’s a cross between the aperitivo and cena (which means “dinner” in Italian) –– such a great remix.
Apericena is basically the perfect middle ground between a full-blown dinner and some nibbles. You will taste delicious local food while sipping the traditional Carnival drink: the Venetian Spritz!
Dive into typical Venetian life while laughing, eating traditional Carnival food, and having a good time with host Massimo.

About your host, Massimo: "I'm one of the last sailors in Venice. As a true Venetian, I love the sea and sharing good food. Often traveling for work or pleasure, I like visiting other countries and discovering their culture and culinary specialties. I never get tired of meeting new people!"

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!
