Buon appetito!

Andrew_S, Aug 2025

We all enjoyed it. Food was amazing. And we feel like we’ll be able to make it on our own. Also a fun way to experience Italy, away from the crowds. Even the two teenagers in our group said it was a highlight of the trip.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Very many thanks for your super review! We’re delighted that everything worked out so well. With a ‘Ciao’ from all of us from VoV Concierge and hoping that we see you in Venice again soon...A Tavola!

Once in a lifetime opportunity. Book if you can.

MUST DO THIS. What a gift! Cristine is a stellar host. She is EXCELLENT at communicating and even booked water taxis for us. We had a PRIVATE cooking class with a MASTER CHEF named Alexandra who is a delight and taught us how to make tiramisu, pasta, and spinach&ricotta filled ravioli. She is working on a cookbook - the way she plans, prepares, and combines flavors in this meal is exemplary and somehow so simple too. We learned so much, indulged in exquisite wine and even got home renovation ideas. This locational is a stunning architectural beauty designed solely for the purpose of cooking and celebrating the meal together. One of the BEST true Venetian experiences possible. Thank you so much Cristine and Alexandra.

Fabulous Cooking with Marta

Gina_V, Sep 2024

The cooking class was the best excursion we did in Venice! Marta was fantastic cook, she took her time and carefully taught each one of us to make pasta, tiramisu, sardine appetizer and prawn scampi!! It was a beautiful cooking class apartment to be in. Loved getting to know Marta and experience her passion for Venice and cooking!
