Venetian Food at its Best

Skip_N, Jul 2025

If you want Venetian authenticity, this is it! Massimo welcomed us into his home and treated us like family. Every element of our dining experience was unexpectantly delectable! He shared personal stories of growing up in Venice, family, and culinary norms - absolutely WONDERFUL. We left with a full heart!!!

A fun time with a great group of people.

This evening was one of the highlights of our travels. We joined with 5 others for a feast prepared in the sailor's apartment, who is a merchant marine. The food and wine were excellent. The stories and the conversation with all were memorable It's s an evening we will never forget. Highly recommended.
