Shared Experience
Your experience
- Scampi with castraure (little violet artichoke from s.erasmo island)
- Potato gnocchi with fish sauce
- Family style Tiramisù
In Venice, in the setting of a typical Venetian house, I invite you to participate in a unique culinary experience. Together, we will prepare gnocchi using fresh produce from the lagoon, and I will share with you the secrets to easily replicate them at home. During the course, you will also have the opportunity to receive tips on how to make your vacation in Venice unforgettable. High-quality ingredients are chosen at the nearby Rialto market. In case you have special needs, I will be happy to adapt the menu. To start, we will get to know each other with a spritz and taste delicious Venetian cicchetti.

- Mauro was an amazing host and I am very glad we booked this cooking class. He generously welcomed us into his home and taught us how to make 2 different types of pasta, both of which turned out delicious. My friend and I had so much fun and cannot recommend this experience highly enough!
- 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!

- 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!
