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 "con amore" (with love) two pasta dishes and their sauces and I will give you tips and tricks to easily replicate them at home.

I will then teach you how to make the perfect Tiramisù and we will have together a real Aperitivo Italiano with a Spritz!

For our culinary creations, we'll use fresh produce from the famous Rialto Market.

I am also happy to give you some recommendations on how to best spend your vacation in Venice... do not hesitate to ask!

: 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!
: Mauro gave us an exemplary cooking class, covering how to make homemade pasta, ravioli and different sauces, complementing the perfect meal with homemade tiramisu and a glass of Prosseco and Spritz. Perfect evening to close out Italian trip. The instructions were easy to remember and Mauro applies the "learn by doing" method, perfect for me and mu husband. He gave us extra cooking tips that can help us recreate this and similar dishes back home. It was an amazing couples experience and I 100% recommend it. Thanks Mauro for everything! Regina
: 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!
: Our dining experience with Mauro in his home in Venice was absolutely exceptional and a highlight of our vacation in Italy. When we arrived at his home we were warmly greeted and Mauro shared his personal story with us which made us feel both welcome and even more excited of what was to come. He then told us about how dinner would proceed and the menu which he had chosen. Now even more excited. Joining Mauro in his kitchen, watching and learning about the preparation was really fabulous. All his ingredients were local and fresh and the seafood bought that morning in the Venice fish market. We are from the U.S. and my favorite hobby is saltwater fishing and I prepare and cook my catch. But on this night I learned more about seafood preparation and cooking techniques then I would have ever imagined. The anchovy on a slice of boiled egg appetizer was delicious. My wife is more particular about eating seafood, and typically an anchovy would be way too strong for her to enjoy. These anchovies were so fresh and mild it blew our minds. Mauro prepared scampi and shrimp in 3 different ways and each was exceptional and a great teaching moment for me . The fresh pasta dish was delicious and again I learned several key techniques from Mauro in the preparation process that I will be able to use at home. Prior to starting the prep and cooking, Mauro told us he liked to keep things simple and use only fresh ingredients. He said keeping it simple was important to him so that all his customers would be to duplicate, share and enjoy at home. After the dining experience I even more appreciated his simple technique and passion for sharing with others. We felt very fortunate to have booked with Mauro, as it was a very unique and wholly satisfying experience. And most of all we felt like we had just made a new friend in Italy.
: 異国の長旅で私は体力的にとても疲れていましたが、マウロのクッキングクラスは気の置けない友人の家を訪ねるかにような体験で、温かいもてなしに癒されて元気になりました。メインで作り方を教わった3種類の料理は、一つ一つは短時間で簡単に家で再現しやすいように工夫されたレシピであると同時に、トータルでは調理の仕方で引き出される食材の良さが変わる事に気づくように計算されていました。なにより季節の地元の魚と野菜を新鮮な内に料理するという彼の料理哲学に共感しました。特にベネチアでこの時期にしか手に入らない野菜を知ることができたのは貴重な体験でした。簡単で美味しい前菜やお酒の合わせ方、料理の合間にリフレッシュする付け合わせなど、イタリアのおもてなしをトータルで教えてもらえたのも嬉しかったです。私は英語が得意ではないのですが、マウロは分かり易い表現を使ってくれたので、コミュニケーションに困ることは全くありませんでした。安心して知りたいことをたくさん質問する事ができました。今まで本や動画を見ながら適当に作ったペストーパスタは、いったい何だったの？と思うくらい、マウロが作ってくれたものは別格の美味しさでした。これから日本でも生のバジルが手に入り易い季節になるので、マウロのペストパスタを絶対再現します！ Cesarineからのフォローメールが何度もありましたが、正直に言うと現地で場所を探すことに不安がありました。でも、当日はマウロが家の前の道に出て待っててくれたので全く心配なかったですよ。
