A true hidden gem in Venice. Massimo, a real Venetian sailor, welcomed us into his home in an ancient palace and created something unforgettable. We first met him in the street where he greeted us with a bottle of Prosecco and glasses, and strangers from distant places instantly became friends. Around his old wooden table, surrounded by candlelight, we shared incredible conversations, beautiful music, and truly sublime food. The menu was agreed beforehand, but he still surprised us with dishes you can only taste in real Venetian homes, never in restaurants. It felt like living the real Venice for one magical evening.Without any doubt, this was the best experience we had in Venice.

This was one of the most unforgettable nights we had in Venice. In a beautiful 500-year-old house, a Venetian sailor named Massimo hosts travelers for a candlelit dinner that feels like stepping into the real soul of the city. None of us knew each other at first, but soon the room was full of laughter, stories, and incredible aromas. Massimo kept us entertained while serving a wonderful seven-course dinner with fresh vegetables, homemade pasta, great cheeses, seafood, and old Venetian recipes you can truly taste only in a home. Wine flowed, the atmosphere was magical, and by the end we felt like friends sharing something special. If you want to discover the real Venice, don’t miss this dinner. Thank you, Massimo, for a magnificent night, we really discovered Venice with you

Dinner with “Sailor Max” in Venice was something truly special. We met in a tiny Venetian square, a small group of people from different parts of the world, and from the very first moment there was an easy, joyful atmosphere. Then Max arrived — full of sea stories, warmth, and that unmistakable sailor’s charisma — and the evening began. His home, a small 16th-century Venetian gem, was glowing with candles, good wine, and the smell of the sea. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever tasted seafood so fresh nd so beautifully prepared. Every dish felt like a celebration — simple, authentic, and incredibly high quality. More than a dinner, it was a life experience: real homemade food, fascinating conversations about the sea and Venetian history, and new friendships around the table. It felt like stepping intoa magical world far away from any restaurant — intimate, genuine, and unforgettable.

A private cooking class in Venice with Massimo was more than a lesson — it was a journey through time. Passionate about ancient dishes and the spice trade that made Venice famous, he guided us through the magical Rialto Market, sharing fascinating stories of history and flavor. Back in his tiny Venetian home — like stepping into an 18th-century spice shop — we created the most incredible risotto I have ever tasted: saffron, Parmigiano, a delicate orange cream he prepared, and a splash of Prosecco… absolutely unforgettable. We baked Renaissance-style bread, tasted forgotten recipes, and finished with heavenly Fritelle veneziane filled with cream. An intimate, delicious adventure that felt like a private museum visit and a dinner with a friend. I cannot recommend this experience enough — being with Massimo was pure magic.

An unforgettable evening in Venice, inside sailor Massimo’s beautiful historic home, filled with antique furniture, candles, and a stunning old wooden table that felt straight out of another century. From the first moment, it felt like stepping into the true, hidden Venice. We enjoyed four incredible seafood dishes, three different vegetable plates, homemade bread and focaccia, fresh handmade pasta, and a traditional Venetian dessert made with ancient flours. Everything was delicious, authentic, and prepared with care. The wine was exquisite.His father make. But beyond the exceptional food, it was the atmosphere and Massimo’s warm company that made the night extraordinary. We didn’t feel like tourists — we felt like friends invited into a real Venetian home. A fabulous, intimate, and truly unforgettable experience.

We had a fabulous time at Massimo's dinner. A true sailor and a great cook! He was very welcoming and entertaining. The food was excellent and plentiful. It was a very special experience to be able to share a delicious home-cooked meal in an historical Venetian home. The focaccia and tomatoes with frash burrata was amazing. I highly recommend them and would do it again the next time I am in Venice.Don t miss if you want a beautiful experience in a magic city like Venice. Was really a dinner with friends!

If you want Venetian authenticity, this is it! Massimo welcomed us into his home and treated us like family. Every element of our dining experience was unexpectantly delectable! He shared personal stories of growing up in Venice, family, and culinary norms - absolutely WONDERFUL. We left with a full heart!!!
