Shared Experience
Your experience
Lisa and Patrizia welcome you to the Giudecca house, where, inspired by a beautiful view of Venice, you will lace up your aprons and turn into Venetian pastry chefs! You will learn how to make three traditional desserts: fritole, a symbol of the wonderful and colorful Venetian Carnival; zabaglione cream, which will not only serve as a filling for the fritole, but will also be presented with the typical Bacoli cookies, made by Patrizia, who will share with you their curious history and recipe; and finally, the ever-present tiramisu.
You will be guided step by step in the preparation of these traditional desserts through family recipes, and you will be able to reintroduce them to your guests, remembering the excitement of this very sweet cooking class.

- We had the most wonderful experience with Patrizia and was so glad we managed to squeeze this in to our trip. The venue is beautiful, authentic and the views of Venice are amazing. Patrizia had prepared delicious cicchetti for us with a chilled bottle of prosecco to take in the views. We then made tiramisu, Patrizia was a great teacher! Once the tiramisu was chilled in the fridge, we started to make pasta which was very informative. Once this was done, Patrizia cooked our pasta for us and then served the tiramisu. Patrizia gave us lots of Italian recommendations (not just for Venice). Thank you Patrizia for welcoming us in to you home, taking lots of candid pictures of us and being a very patient teacher.

- Patrizia is just a perfect host and a chef. We enjoyed evening both for the tasty food and a friendly conversation with Patrizia. The place is authentic and the view is just stunning. Thank you and we send you lots of love from Latvia 🇱🇻
- We had a wonderful evening with Patrizia. We learned to cook pasta and mozzarella and carroza and enjoyed an amazing tiramisu. The best part was the conversation and learning about Venice from Patrizia. I will recommend this experience to everyone who goes to Venice.
- I had the most incredible experience at the pasta and tiramisu cooking class in Venice with my partner! From start to finish, it was an unforgettable day. Our instructor, Patrizia, was not only a talented chef but also an absolute delight. The class was hands-on, engaging, and perfectly paced, allowing us to learn the art of making fresh pasta and the classic Italian dessert from scratch. We began by making our own dough for the pasta, kneading and rolling it with the guidance of our expert chef. The best part was learning how to shape the pasta by hand and getting tips on the perfect texture and flavor. Then, we moved on to creating a rich and creamy tiramisu that turned out even better than we imagined. The whole experience was set in a cozy, welcoming home, and it felt like we were cooking alongside a local Venetian friend. Not only did we leave with new skills, but we also gained a deeper appreciation for the culture and traditions of Italian cooking. To top it off, we got to enjoy the delicious meal we had prepared, paired with some lovely wine. It was the perfect activity for a romantic and immersive day in Venice. I can’t recommend this class enough – whether you're a beginner or an experienced cook, this is a must-do! We’ll definitely be trying to recreate these dishes at home. A true highlight of our trip!
