Step away from the tourist crowds and into a real Venetian home for an authentic 3-hour culinary journey! This intimate home-cooking experience invites you to live, cook, and eat like a true local. Depending on the time of day, you will be welcomed into a private home kitchen in either the historic Cannaregio district (morning classes) or the picturesque island of Giudecca (evening classes)—two of Venice's most authentic neighborhoods. Guided by a passionate local chef, you will roll up your sleeves and learn to prepare a traditional 3-course feast from scratch. You'll master handmade "Pasta Fresca," a delicious seasonal vegetable main course, and the ultimate Italian dessert, Tiramisù. After the cooking workshop, gather around the table with your hosts and group to enjoy the fruits of your labor, paired with excellent local wines. Perfect for families, friends, and food lovers craving a genuine, off-the-beaten-path connection with Venice.

Very easy to find and meeting Rosa was such a fun experience her lovely kitchen was welcoming she made us all feel at home she was patient in explaining all the details of the meal we prepared had a lot of laughs and at the end the food was delicious. Highly recommend what a great time
We had a wonderful time, Rosa was amazing, food was delicious and prosecco was flowing! Highly recommend. Give yourself time to find her home. We went early, found the home then had a glass of wine sitting by the water at a nearby restaurant.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review and your high recommendation! Rosa was absolutely thrilled to host you and is so glad you loved the delicious food and flowing prosecco. Taking the time to locate the house early and relaxing by the water beforehand sounds like the perfect Venetian way to start your evening. It was a true pleasure having you in our kitchen!
Lorenzo was fantastic! My husband and I really enjoyed our afternoon with him. Great food, wine and company! Definitely recommend
Thank you so much for the wonderful review and your kind recommendation! Lorenzo was absolutely thrilled to host you and your husband for an afternoon of delicious food, great wine, and wonderful conversation. It was a true pleasure having you both in our Venetian home.
We had the best time at Rosa’s cooking class! The food was delicious and Rosa was very generous with the wine. We enjoyed learning more about Venice and cooking, as well as just chatting with Rosa. Thank you for opening up your home Rosa! It felt like a true Italian family cooking experience. We also got to meet Rosa’s adorable dog which was the cherry on top.
What a joy to read this! Rosa will be so happy to know that her cooking class felt like sharing a meal with family. From learning about Venetian life to cooking, chatting and enjoying her home, it sounds like you truly embraced the experience. And of course, her four-legged host deserves a special mention!
Great time we met two other couples, and Rosa was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious and she kept the wine flowing which was also delicious,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great time with Rosa and enjoyed meeting the other couples along the way. It’s wonderful to know that you loved the delicious food and wine and that Rosa made the evening so enjoyable. We truly appreciate your kind words!
One of the best experiences! If we are ever back in Venice, we will do this again with Rosa. What wonderful conversation and loved learning how to cook with her. The food was delicious and hope to one day recreate at home. Although it won’t be the same without Rosa.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted that cooking with Rosa and sharing such lovely conversations made this one of the best experiences of your trip. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the food and are inspired to recreate the dishes at home. We hope to welcome you back to Venice and Rosa's kitchen again someday!
Rosa was very welcoming in her home. She engaged all of the family and the food was wonderful. Highly recommended!
We're delighted to hear that Rosa made you feel so welcome in her home! Sharing authentic Venetian recipes in a warm and friendly atmosphere is what makes this experience so special. It's wonderful to know that the whole family felt involved and enjoyed the delicious meal together. Thank you for your kind recommendation—we're so pleased that this became a memorable part of your time in Venice. Grazie mille!
I can not say enough kind things for Rosa’s amazing cooking class in Venezia. My son and I (8 years) got to have a cooking class just the two of us (lucky!). Rosa is so warm and talented, authentic and personal. Her recipes are very good and also kind of magical in their simplicity. We learned to make multiple kinds of pasta from scratch, a wonderful Rosa’s Rainbow of cut vegetables, and Tiramisu. It was an unforgettable cultural experience my son and I will always remember. He loved it and loved Rosa. It’s a must!
From handmade pasta to tiramisù and the famous Rainbow of vegetables, these are memories that last a lifetime. We’ll make sure Rosa reads every single word. Grazie mille!
This was one of the highlights of our trip! I wanted to book a cooking class where we would actually learn and cook, so I read the worst reviews of the top ranked classes before booking with Rosa. One of my best choices! Going into it I was worried about finding the location since other reviews mentioned having an issue, but Apple Maps and Google Maps both went to the same place and we easily found it. Overall I highly recommend Rosa’s class if you want to learn authentic and delicious Italian cooking!
Hearing that Rosa's class was a trip highlight is the absolute best compliment! We are thrilled you chose our Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class. It is great you found the location easily and enjoyed a truly hands-on experience. Rosa loves sharing traditional local flavors so you actually learn the secrets of delicious Italian cooking. Grazie mille!
Wow!!!! What an amazing experience. My family had an amazing time . We met new friends ( California & Texas -shout out) Rosa was patient & knowledgeable. Pasta , and drinks were Perfect. Would recommend to anybody that is coming to Venice.. five stars review
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted that your family enjoyed such a memorable evening and that the experience brought together great food, new friendships, and authentic Venetian hospitality. Sharing traditional home cooking, local recipes, and meaningful moments around the table is what makes this experience so special. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Rosa, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Venice in the future.
