Celebrating a special occasion? 

I am Massimo, one of the last sailors of Venice. As a true local Venetian, I love the sea and sharing good food with a 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 never got tired of meeting new people. I live in an ancient palace with my best friends and I would be glad to let you discover this world of real people, outside of the common touristic routes!

We had a fun evening with Massimo on our trip to Venice. It was great to taste local foods and wines and to hear his tales of his life as a seaman and also some insights into Venetian life. It was also nice to experience the meal with people from other parts of the world.
