Our cooking experience with Lorenzo was spectacular. We started at the Rialto market buying everything fresh then went back and spent hours preparing and cooking a delicious authentic Italian meal. He was patient and friendly and his hospitality was warm and welcoming! Would highly recommend
We ♥️ed Lorenzo .. outstanding menu . We communicated the day of our event , on menu choices , drinks and directions .. of course it was a bit confusing on the directions . We arrived 11 of us … Lorenzo home was small but very well appointed for this event ..we prepared .. freshly caught fish ..homemade pasta ( we made) , ravioli and spaghetti,artichoke hearts and fresh fish . It was Delcious. Thank you Lorenzo. We had so much fun
A great way to experience a cooking class with a true Venetian in his home! We felt so comfortable and welcomed, and learned so much about his family history, the canals and cooking secrets!! The wine was flowing as we cooked our way through amazing conversation. I would definitely recommend this experience!
Great all over experience! So welcoming in his home to provide an evening of good food, wine And teachings. Aldi, easy location off the public water taxi route.
Our family had a wonderful time learning to cook with Lorenzo. He was well organized and efficient, with a wonderful space in a great location. The variety of food was perfect and level of participation was great - allowing for both kids and adults to get in on the cooking action. It was both a special and a simple one. Something easy to make at home during the week or formal up for a party with friends. He also provided some great tips for places to eat in our next city. We enjoyed his cooking, his humor and his welcoming us into his home.
We had a fantastic time cooking (and eating) with Lorenzo. We are all inspired to try and recreate our delicious meal once we get home. Thank you for the great conversations and memories, Lorenzo!
Lorenzo is the best! My husband loves to cook, and Lorenzo took his skills to the next level. He was patient with both of us and showed us how to cook from scratch, not only pasta, but also tiramisu and sea bass. If you are in this area and looking for a private cooking class, you have found one here, and you'll need no other!
What a wonderful way to enjoy Venice! Lorenzo was patient and explained basics of italian pasta. He has a great sense of humor and our meal was so so delicious. Lorenzo guided us on public transportation back to our hotel. Highly recommend !
We had the most amazing time! My group got lost in a rain storm and Lorenzo came and found us. From the start he was a very nice person and his English is pretty good. We washed up, got our cooking aprons on and got right to it. Lorenzo took us through all the steps and ingredients needed to make the noodles, sauce and the fresh sea bass. Lorenzo served us wine from his personal collection and told stories about his home town of Venice. We had a great time taking turns trying each cooking technique. After cooking, we all sat down and ate together. The food was Amazing. Lorenzo was a professional cook before he started doing classes and the results showed that. Our class time was from 6 to 9 but we sat and ate and drank until we'll after 10pm. Over all, that evening was one of my top 3 moments in Italy. Highly recommend. Five stars. I would do this again.
We had a great time! Lorenzo was gracious host and we enjoyed cooking with him. No one else booked the same date so we had a private class which was nice. Would definitely do this again. Grazi Lorenzo for your hospitality!
