Hi from Giulia!

Venice is a unique place: floating on a lagoon with a network of thousands of canals. Rich in history and culinary tradition, it is a city of art, forged from different pasts and cultures, with profound ties to both the land and the sea.The ancient city is also home our Cesarina, Giulia. Her cooking reflects her regional and family traditions made even more unique by a modern twist with her passion and expertise in local and seasonal ingredients.Giulia: "For me cooking is not a journey through youth but rather onwards into maturity. My childhood was spent in my grandmothers’ kitchens with the aromas and flavours of two different Italian cultures; Born in Turin with mother from Mantua and a Venetian father, I grew up around my grandmother in Mantua, with the scent of pumpkin, rolling homemade pasta, and in Venice with the sharing culture of Cicchetti (aperitivo finger food). Polenta, however, was common to both regions although in Mantua it had a yellow tinge and stark white colour in Venice".

My husband and daughter met Giulia and went to the market and back to the house for their class. She had drinks and snack and they made a lot of delicious food. Giulia has so much energy and was so fun. It truly made it a memorable experience that we recommend to anyone heading to Venice.

Giulia made this experience just the best. Very educational but also fun - the perfect combination of both. She warmly welcomed us into her home and we left feeling like fast friends. We would definitely book another cooking experience with Giulia again!

Giulia mi ha fatto sentire come con la mamma a casa; abbiamo preparato pizza, focaccia e tiramisù caserecci, secondo le nostre tradizioni locali, condividendo ognuno i propri dettagli operativi! Mi sono trovato molto bene, la location è stupenda e un’ottima padrona di casa! Grazie!

One of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had. So much fun! We made pasta, memories and friends. Even bought the kitchen gadgets as soon as we got home to recreate the recipes.

Giulia was amazing. We have left a review on trip advisor also.
