The fish market is the beating heart of the city, and fish recipes are the foundation of Venetian cuisine. During this experience, we will prepare delicious and traditional dishes using high-quality ingredients under my expert guidance as a true Venetian. You will have the opportunity to learn how to cook the famous Venetian fish cicchetti, risotto with the catch of the day, stuffed cuttlefish, polenta with baccalà, and many other typical specialties of Venice.

- My husband and I had a great time making / eating our pasta and tiramisu ! I never knew making pasta was so easy. I would definitely do this again.
- Our cooking class with Barbara was the highlight of our time in Venice! It was wonderful! She took us to the market for ingredients, then we stopped for a quick drink before she welcomed us into her home. Her home is lovely! It's a very warm, cozy and inviting space. Barbara gave us a choice in what we cooked. She showed us how to make tortellini by hand. We also made ricotta gnocchi and tiramisu. Then after we prepped all the food, she had set a lovely table and proceeded to serve us a beautiful meal. I would definitely take another class with Barbara again! Highly recommend.
- Absolutely wonderful experience! Barbara was a phenomenal hostess and teacher. Highly recommend to anyone wanting an authentic, Venetian food experience.
- My daughter’s and I took a cooking class with Barbara in October 2023. It was a wonderful experience. We made pasta and tiramisu that was absolutely delicious. Barbara is a master in the kitchen. She was friendly, hospitable and humorous. I would definitely recommend this class
- We are newly weds who came to Italy on our honeymoon & booked a last minute class the last night of our trip … what an ending !!! Not only did Barbara teach with such patience & expertise, she was also just a one of a kind human being ! From the very beginning she made each moment so special and this will for sure be a memory that my husband and I will carry through out our lives. We left having learnt how to make some yummy pasta but we also left with a new friend, Barbara ! We cannot thank you enough for EVERYTHING!!!

Cesarina from 2018Location: Venice Languages: Spanish, Italian, EnglishCesarina Barbara welcomes you into her home with open arms. This breathtaking house is situated in the perfect location, right in the city centre, but sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the tourist hotspots. You will be guided through the most evocative culinary traditions of the lagoon. “Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved learning how to cook. I learned from my grandmother, who prepared traditional Venetian dishes with infinite wisdom: in fact, my grandparents ran a restaurant for many years, so I have always lived and breathed for making guests feel welcome. I love cooking for my friends and family, and over the years I’ve specialised in Venetian dishes, as they are so varied and full of flavour, a true expression of Venice’s precious and rich history.”
