Shared Experience
Your experience

    Take part in a culinary experience with a local in Venice! We will visit the historic Rialto Market, dating back to the 9th century, where we will select fresh fish, meat and other ingredients. The market, near the iconic Rialto Bridge, offers a glimpse of traditional Venetian life, with vendors haggling and shouting out the specialties of the day. After a visit to a traditional bacaro to enjoy a glass of wine and a cicchetto, we will head to my home, quiet and off the tourist trail, to prepare the dishes we have chosen together. I will share culinary tips and techniques so you can recreate these delicious Venetian specialties at home. A hands-on culinary experience, but also a taste of authentic Venetian culture and history!

    Excellent! By far one of our favorite experiences ever! Barbara was magnificent: warm, kind, and extremely accommodating. The weather was awful, and she met us in a nearby square in order to help. The intimate size of the group (only four of us) made for a wonderful time. We highly recommend it.

    Joining the Tiramisu and Pasta cooking class in Venice was a delightful experience. Thanks to Barbara, we learned the secrets of fresh home-made pasta and tiramisu! We explored the essence of Italian cuisine in a beautiful, traditional Venetian home. Barbara, our gracious host, made the experience even more memorable with her warmth and expertise. It felt like visiting a friend’s house!

    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.

    Cesarina 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.”
     
     Immerse yourself in the captivating atmosphere of the most famous canals in the world, you will have the the opportunity to learn a timeless selection of traditional dishes. Only a magical city like Venice can promise such a special experience.
