My name is Mauro, I am 100% Venetian and I am delighted to share with you my love for Venice and my passion for cooking.
In a typical Venetian house we will learn how to cook dishes from our "Laguna veneziana" (Venetian lagoon) and I will give you tips and tricks to easily replicate them at home. I will also gladly give you some recommendations on how to best spend your vacation in Venice!
For our culinary creations, we'll use fresh produce from the famous Rialto Market.
In case of special dietary requirements, it is possible to adapt our menu!

- My friends and I had the best time cooking with Mauro! He shared lots of Venetian culture and history with us, had great conversation, and the food we made was so delicious. We made tagliatelle and ravioli, and were also served an aperitivo and dessert. He was very accommodating and went above and beyond for us. We would recommend this Mauro's cooking experience to anyone and would happily go back. It was our favourite part of our Venice trip. Thank you, Mauro!

- Dinner with Mauro was an absolute delicacy and delight. The attention he puts into curating a meal for you is really something remarkable, even obtaining fresh ingredients the morning of to ensure that he could offer only the very best of Venice on a plate. Highly, highly recommend!
- Mauro is an excellent chef and he enjoys talking about the food, the ingredients, the herbs and seasonings, and the why's for using them in the way that he does. He also was happy to share about his city, Venice, and why he loves it there, his history with living there, and the issues the city faces. He was very friendly and made us feel very much at home. His home is charming and the setting for dinner was lovely and cozy. He worked with our food intolerances and dislikes and provided a fabulous menu! The drinks, dinner, and dessert were outstanding! Thank you Mauro!
- The whole experience was fabulous. Mauro was charming, interesting and a consummate host - even waiting outside his apartment building (an old palazzo) for me to arrive. He is an incredible cook and he had sourced beautiful fresh produce - vegetables, herbs and seafood, for the meal. He produced six courses, each one superb, from cichetti to dessert, and provided lots of useful instruction about cooking techniques and particular Venetian eating traditions. The accompanying drinks were perfect. I was so glad I booked this experience and would do it again in a heartbeat. Well worth the cost and a very special experience. Thank you so much Mauro!
