A cute authentic and personalized experience! Hosted in a beautiful apartment right there in Venice. It was just me who participated in the cooking class but my mom joined to eat what I had made. If you’re good with stairs, and want an exclusive experience, then this experience would be good for you!

Cute Pizza and Tiramisu Class!

Danielle_P, Oct 2025

Mama Mia!!

Natalie_G, Aug 2025

Such a fun experience! Even though I love to cook and have made lots of pizza before, it was wonderful learning new techniques and meeting new people. I highly recommend!

Wow!!! Best cooking class so far.

Margaretta_B, Oct 2024

What an experiance!! Learning how to make Gnocchi, Pizza and Tomato sauce, from scratch, was the most fun I have had while in Venice! We were a party of 2, that took the Vaporetto acrossed the water, to their home where they held the cooking class. Rosa and Angela, are the absolute best when it comes to teaching you the tricks of simplicity creating such delicious cuisines. I look forward to sending them pictures of what I make at home, when I bring what they taught me here in Venice, to my own Kitchen back to the US. Grazie mille, Rosa and Angela! Ciao, for now.

The best!

I highly recommend this experience. Barbara was so engaging and caring for our family. It was truly the most memorable experience. And delicious!

Very bad. Avoid.

Genevieve_T, Jun 2024

We’ve done a lot of tours and had a good time, but this one was a disaster. I don’t think that this company is any good. There were three groups involved in this, and all three of the groups had booked another class… Like making pizza… And then they’ve all been clumped together into the class we were in which was pasta and dessert making. It was not just one of us that had been shifted from another class… It was all of us. I think this group posts teaser posts to get people to click and buy and then they just bung you together into something else going on regardless of size or preferences. When we got to this cooking class, The teacher immediately told us first that we had to stand outside until the time… We were five minutes early… And then tried to charge a double because the previous tour that we had booked had included. We told her that we would supervise and just the kids could cook but then when we went upstairs, it was rapidly clear that her apartment was tiny and there was nine of us. Five of us were standing in the hallway. The teacher was very flustered and defensive and kept talking nonstop about how she hadn’t planned for this and it had to be perfect… I finally got fed up and took one of my sons away and left my husband and my other son to do the class… But then three other people left because they had a cat allergy that they had listed and the apartment had Katz! after that, my husband reported that things got a little bit better, but the teacher kept freaking out about how much dough and the ingredients and it was just really stressful the entire time. I think the teacher was trying very hard, but she was overwhelmed and the company booking. This is terrible. Really avoid this tour.

Memorable Authentic Italian Cooking Class

Laurel_F, Jun 2024

Rosa, her daughter, and friend welcomed us into her kitchen, where we had a wonderful hands-on experience making homemade pizza, tiramisu and, as a bonus, homemade pasta and tomato sauce. We can't thank Rosa enough for her hospitality. It will always be one of our best memories of our time in Venice. We highly recommend Rosa's class for anyone visiting Venice who is looking for a genuine Italian cooking experience.

The person never showed...

Mauro was a wonderful host and the Cesarine cooking class was a great experience. We learned to make delicious pizza, focaccia & tiramisu. Paired with proseco. Voila! Our kids enjoyed it. A real must if visiting Venice. Thanks Mauro for sharing your kitchen for this wonderful culinary experience.

Excellent Cooking Class with Amazing Ceserina Giulia

Emily_F, Oct 2022

We cannot say enough great words about our cooking experience with Giulia!!! Being able to cook in her home and see the local side of the city was the best. She’s a wonderful and kind host that was able to help every level of our cooking skills. Highly recommend to everyone during a trip to Venice

Giuila was great.

David_U, Aug 2021

Giulia was an awesome host and was very knowledgeable about the particulars of cooking. We had a great time in learning the proper was to cook 2 types of pizza and tiramisu and got some free Italian lessons along the way. Giulia and her husband are great teachers and conversationalists which made the whole evening fun. We were able to eat the new recipe we made with them and they added a home made smoked olive oil to spice up the dinner which was delicious. I would highly recommend taking this class. When we go back we will learn to cook a different recipe from them.
