Mercado privado e aula de culinária com um verdadeiro veneziano

Okay, so this was a super mixed experience because we ultimately had a great time due to ending up with some fun people in our group and Rosanna being an absolutely amazing hostess. Rosanna led us through Rialto market and took time to explain all of the goodies on offer and answer any questions we had. She was also gracious and instructive through cooking and enjoying our delicious meal. On the other hand, and despite the title, this class is NOT PRIVATE. Note that the details say up to 10 people, but this does not mean they will accommodate a private group up to 10 people. This means they will combine groups to a maximum of 10 people...summarily ignoring the "private" part of the title. In any case, expectations are everything when you are booking experiences like this, so knowing exactly what you are booking makes all of the difference. It's a great experience if you are intending to book a "small group" class. The only other downside that you should be aware of is the actual location. The cooking is done in an apartment in the Cannaregio neighborhood, about a 20 min walk NW of the Rialto market. Not a big deal for us personally, but certainly worth noting, especially if it is really hot and/or you have mobility issues. Also, we had 6 people total in the class. That group size fit comfortably, but 10 would be very unfortable in the space the apartment has. Again, mixed bag for us because we decided to just roll with and ended up having fun. Had it been accurately advertised, however, we would have booked another option, as that was important to us. There are other private classes that are available for similar cost.

Make sure you know where the meeting spot is before hand when asked where to go I was sent all over the city except for where I supposed to go. Class was missed

Fantastic experience and would do it again in a heartbeat! We had a great time at the market and even more fun cooking. It was absolutely delicious! We highly recommend!!!!!

Lorenzo was an amazing host for this experience. He was super knowledgeable about the fish and produce markets and was on time to the experience. The meal was amazing and it was even cooler helping pick out the ingredients! Overall I would so recommend doing this experience!

It was an amazing experience. Had fun and learned a lot. From the market to the table it immersed us into the culture. Our chef was fantastic and very personable. Highly recommend!!!!

Absolutely fantastic! We learned SO much about Venetian food preparation. Chef Lorenzo was very friendly and accommodating. We all had plenty of food and wine. Excellent experience.

Lorenzo provided a great experience. He was inviting and knowledgeable and creating a comfortable environment. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Would highly recommend

Cooking with Lorenzo was a unique experience. We met him near the Venice for market (similar to Pike’s Market) Walking through the market with him was a highlight—we got to see a wide selection of fresh seafood, from octopus and clams to swordfish and scallops. The produce was just as impressive, with the ripest strawberries, tomatoes, lemons, and more. Lorenzo selected the fresh ingredients, including sea bass, asparagus, artichokes, and strawberries, before we stopped for a quick coffee break. Back in his kitchen, we learned to make egg noodle pasta from scratch and prepared the sea bass with seasonal vegetables, all while Lorenzo guided us with expert instruction and hands-on demonstrations. The atmosphere was charming, with familiar music, wine, and conversation as we cooked. We sat down to enjoy our delicious meal—it was a memorable experience. This experience was both fun and educational, and we recommend it to anyone looking to immerse themselves in authentic Italian cooking. Lorenzo’s passion for food and teaching made it truly special!

It was amazing! Lorenzo is a great cook and an amazing person, he knows the town very well! Learned a lot doing this! I would recommend!

Definitely worth the time and effort! Had originally booked for a morning market and cooking experience but because of New Year's the market was closed an extra day so re-booked for Saturday evening--which meant no market but that was okay--I saw the market! Met Lorenzo just down from his apartment with 3 other people and we had a great time. He was patient and explained things very well--made herb encrusted sea bass, homemade ravioli with radicchio and onions, and tiramisu--and the recipes are simple, flavorful, and I'll definitely use them again and experiment with different pasta shapes, styles, etc. He also showed us a great bread/pizza dough recipe and we made some of that--very light (not pizza--he doesn't have the proper oven) Make time and do this!
