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 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!
- This cooking class was the best part of our unforgettable, fantastic trip to Venice. Patrizia is a very talented, experienced chef. Her love of Italian cooking and her passion for fresh, high quality ingredients comes through right away. She is a kind, knowledgeable hostess who made an enormous effort to make us happy! I did the class with my 2 kids (ages 8 and 10) and she was so patient and fun with us. My kids couldn’t get enough of her. We made delicious bigoli, ravioli, salad, and panna cotta — all free of cows milk due to my daughter’s allergy. I hope to come back again with friends and do this class all over again! The view is really, really special. Her home had a beautiful, brand-new kitchen and tons of space for us to make delicious pasta!
- I recently attended this cooking class, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! From start to finish, the attention to detail and level of care were unmatched. What truly set this class apart was how personalized it was to our dietary restrictions, as well as the incredible recommendations she gave us for things to do in other cities. She also took the time to teach us about Venetian culture and the rich history behind the food, making the experience both unique and deeply enriching. The instructor took the time to understand our needs and seamlessly adapted the recipes to accommodate them without sacrificing flavor or creativity. Not only did we learn new cooking techniques, but we also left with practical tips and recipes that we can easily recreate at home. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and supportive, making it a fun and educational experience for everyone involved. If you're looking for a cooking class that caters to your specific needs while delivering exceptional results, this is the one to choose! Highly recommend!
- Patrizia was an incredible hostess and made for a spectacular night in Venice. It has been the highlight of our trip and would recommend to anyone coming to Venice you will not be disappointed!! ❤️
