Italian Cooking Class in Rosa's colorful home

Rosa is the best! We loved our entire time spent with her. My new husband and I happened to be the only people in her class this day. She immediately shared her recipes with us. We began by making her fruit and veggie rainbow recipe and then moved on to the pasta and tiramisu! She explained each step very well and let us know that we were in good hands. We had conversations about food, life, and got to know sweet Rosa during our time with her. She provided us with wine and love from her little dog, Pascha, who visited us from time to time. The food was DELICIOUS and overall, we were SO pleased that we not only got to attend the class, but got to spend a few hours with this lovely human. Her daughter also runs her restaurant, Rosa's Brunch & Dinner at Via Doge Michiel 2b, Lido in Venice that we will have to go to when we come back!

Great Venice cooking class featuring pasta, oven-roasted vegetables (and fruit!) and tiramisu. Rosa is a wonderful host who invited us into her own and taught us traditional Italian cooking techniques. She greeted us with a glass of prosecco and proceeded to show us to how to make spaghetti and linguini on a double-sided chitara, ravioli, and both tomato and pesto sauce. We made tiramisu for desert. Rosa is passionate about teaching people to cook using simple, accessible ingredients and recipes. We went as a couple, but cooked in a small group with one other friendly family. While none of us had young kids, this class would be great for families with children as well. If you're looking for an authentic Italian cooking class while visiting Venice, I highly recommend Rosa's. We prefer more authentic experiences to touristy ones, and Rosa's didn't disappoint. She's an excellent cook and host, and while her place is across a canal, it is very easy to get to by water bus or water taxi from many main tourist locations.

Thankyou Rosa for such an enjoyable evening, making pasta, tiramisu and new friends in your beautiful home. ❤️

Rosa is very welcoming and helpful. She brings out new ideas and gives careful instructions She has all join in and keeps you totally involved.

Rosa’s class was the highlight of our Italy trip! I am so thankful that we had this incredible opportunity to go to Rosa’s home and spend so much time learning about and making such delicious food. Rosa made us feel like family! The prosecco flowed freely during the evening making the experience even more enjoyable! The pasta variations, the sauces, Rosa's Rainbow of fruits and vegetables and of course the tiramisu were delectable!! We left her home with full tummies and love in our hearts!!

Take Rosa’s class. She is the sweetest person and the entire class was fun and it felt like a little family. Her dog, Pasha, is to die for!! Everything about the experience was great. There were 3 people in our group with dairy, nut, and gluten allergies and she accommodated them soooo well. If we come back to Venice we will definitely be coming back here to see Rosa & Pasha (: She also has a restaurant! Try it out!!

This class takes place in Rosa’s home. We were welcomed like family. We had our toddler granddaughter and she “helped” until she finally fell asleep and missed the best part, the meal. This was a fun, educational family experience. Recommend

The whole experience was amazing! Rosa was very welcoming and was extremely accommodating for our 1 year old. The food preparation was very interactive and instructive. We each prepared multiple types of pasta, a vegetable side dish, and dessert. Then we cooked and ate the food we prepared as a group. Everything was outstanding and Rosa is an excellent host!

Rosa was very accommodating.She met us from the water taxi and brought us to her home. She had great communication from start to finish, which is very comforting when you are in a new country. We made five different types of pasta, homemade marinara sauce, roasted veggies and fruit ( that's right, fruit!) It is called Rosa's Rainbow was very very special. The Tiramisu was divine. Everybody helps with every course learning so much about making pasta and the ingredients that we use, very hands on. Of course there was plenty of Prosecco that was flowing throughout the evening. She is a most wonderful hostess. It would be an experience that you would remember for a lifetime! Do not hesitate to sign up for Rosa's cooking class.... it's a life changer!

We had the most amazing experience with Rosa! She is such a kind, welcoming, and loving presence. She provided a great history of Venice while also sharing delicious recipes and a glass of wine. I recommend this with 1000 stars!! - Krista, Natalie, Rochelle
