The whole experience was amazing! Rosa was very welcoming and was extremely accommodating for our 1 year old. The food preparation was very interactive and instructive. We each prepared multiple types of pasta, a vegetable side dish, and dessert. Then we cooked and ate the food we prepared as a group. Everything was outstanding and Rosa is an excellent host!

We had the most amazing experience with Rosa! She is such a kind, welcoming, and loving presence. She provided a great history of Venice while also sharing delicious recipes and a glass of wine. I recommend this with 1000 stars!! - Krista, Natalie, Rochelle

Rosa is an amazing host and teacher, and we had a great time with her! She was flexible with us and we were able to change our class date due to missing our water boat. We really appreciated that from her and her translator/assistant. They made us feel at home and the group we were with was so much fun! The tiramisu was to die for and the meal at the end was so fulfilling and delicious!

Rosa’s class was the highlight of our Italy trip! I am so thankful that we had this incredible opportunity to go to Rosa’s home and spend so much time learning about and making such delicious food. Rosa made us feel like family! The prosecco flowed freely during the evening making the experience even more enjoyable! The pasta variations, the sauces, Rosa's Rainbow of fruits and vegetables and of course the tiramisu were delectable!! We left her home with full tummies and love in our hearts!!

11/10 experience

Take Rosa’s class. She is the sweetest person and the entire class was fun and it felt like a little family. Her dog, Pasha, is to die for!! Everything about the experience was great. There were 3 people in our group with dairy, nut, and gluten allergies and she accommodated them soooo well. If we come back to Venice we will definitely be coming back here to see Rosa & Pasha (: She also has a restaurant! Try it out!!

This class takes place in Rosa’s home. We were welcomed like family. We had our toddler granddaughter and she “helped” until she finally fell asleep and missed the best part, the meal. This was a fun, educational family experience. Recommend

This is one of those experience you will be talking about for a lifetime!

Tracy_G, May 2026

Rosa was very accommodating.She met us from the water taxi and brought us to her home. She had great communication from start to finish, which is very comforting when you are in a new country. We made five different types of pasta, homemade marinara sauce, roasted veggies and fruit ( that's right, fruit!) It is called Rosa's Rainbow was very very special. The Tiramisu was divine. Everybody helps with every course learning so much about making pasta and the ingredients that we use, very hands on. Of course there was plenty of Prosecco that was flowing throughout the evening. She is a most wonderful hostess. It would be an experience that you would remember for a lifetime! Do not hesitate to sign up for Rosa's cooking class.... it's a life changer!
