A 3-hour hands-on cooking lesson lightly touching upon some of the most interesting facets of Italian, and in particular, Venetian cuisine. Using local seasonal products, we’ll prepare an entire meal together to be enjoyed in the relaxed surroundings of A Tavola’s architect-designed workspace, or outdoors in the charming courtyard/garden when the weather allows! Each season has its ingredients and each Italian festivity has its dishes and together we’ll create the most iconic examples of Venetian cuisine in line with long-held family traditions passed down through generations. We’ll talk about the history of Venetian cookery and the abundance of ingredients sourced from the Venetian Lagoon and, through sharing and cooking together, you’ll discover the secrets of preparing a selection of exquisite local dishes that you’ll be able to recreate at home on your return.

We all enjoyed it. Food was amazing. And we feel like we’ll be able to make it on our own. Also a fun way to experience Italy, away from the crowds. Even the two teenagers in our group said it was a highlight of the trip.
Very many thanks for your super review! We’re delighted that everything worked out so well. With a ‘Ciao’ from all of us from VoV Concierge and hoping that we see you in Venice again soon...A Tavola!
MUST DO THIS. What a gift! Cristine is a stellar host. She is EXCELLENT at communicating and even booked water taxis for us. We had a PRIVATE cooking class with a MASTER CHEF named Alexandra who is a delight and taught us how to make tiramisu, pasta, and spinach&ricotta filled ravioli. She is working on a cookbook - the way she plans, prepares, and combines flavors in this meal is exemplary and somehow so simple too. We learned so much, indulged in exquisite wine and even got home renovation ideas. This locational is a stunning architectural beauty designed solely for the purpose of cooking and celebrating the meal together. One of the BEST true Venetian experiences possible. Thank you so much Cristine and Alexandra.

Did this class with my brother. We cooked two dishes and a dessert. We got the recipes after the class. We had the freshest produce and the most amazing taste. The chef taught us tricks for cutting, cleaning and maximizing the flavors. We had the most enjoyable dinner and conversation with her afterwards. I am so grateful for this time. Such a wonderful relaxing evening and I can’t wait to make this for friends and family when I go home.
