We enjoyed the cooking experience and that we were able to eat our own pasta at the end with our wine. The cooking area was very nice and we liked that it was inside a restaurant. We give this experience a 10 out of 10. The chef was easy going and very knowledgeable.

Ashley_H, Apr 2026
Paolo was the perfect teacher. We had a lot of fun learning the recipes with his help. Very tasty! And cute environment.

A good intro to Venice

Alexei_P, Apr 2026
This was an excellent introduction to Venice. We did this tour the day we arrived and I am glad we did. It was very informative and we got to see what the street food was all about in Venice. The quality was good - no issues afterwards. Though be aware - this is a street food tour, not a restaurant / cuisine overview. The food at the restaurants is to not to be compared to street food.

Great experience.

Michael_W, Apr 2026
It was a lot of fun and the food turned out good. I would recommend the experience. It is definitely worth doing.

A great food experience with others.

peterc_V, Apr 2026

Rachel_B, Mar 2026
Me and my friend did this class and it was fun! parlo was lovely and we learned a lot would recommend BUT the only down fall its not unlimited Prosecco which was one of the main reasons we booked the class it was one glass each course and also was ment to get recipe sent to my email which never received

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Best experience in Italy!

tamara_g, Feb 2026
Best experience of our trip to Italy! Paolo was fun, entertaining, and knowledgeable. He was the reason this cooking class is highly recommended by us. He made the food preparation easy to understand and follow. He told us stories of his Nonna and how he was taught to cook. Paulo made the overall experience so enjoyable and delicious too! I am not a cook but I cannot wait to try making the brucchetta, pasta, and tiramisu at home. My husband is a remarkable cook and he also had a fantastic time at the class! Sign up - you wont regret it! Thank you Paolo!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Ciao Tamara! Wow, "Best experience in Italy!" is the ultimate compliment! Paolo will be incredibly touched to read this. He truly loves sharing his Nonna's stories and making the food preparation easy to follow, whether you are just starting out in the kitchen or are a "remarkable cook" like your husband. We are so thrilled that our Venice cooking class made such a great impression and that you are excited to make bruschetta, pasta, and tiramisu at home! Thank you so much for the fantastic recommendation. 🍝👨‍🍳

Great time and great food!

Pasta prosecco perfection

Jay_T, Feb 2026
You make pasta, tiramisu, and bruschetta while enjoying prosecco and then get to eat what you made. Simply fabulous, and Paulo was an awesome host.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Ciao Jay! Thank you so much for the "perfection" review! Paolo will be awesome-ly happy to hear you enjoyed his hosting. There is really nothing better than enjoying Prosecco while making (and eating!) your own fresh pasta, bruschetta, and tiramisu. We are glad it was simply fabulous! Cheers! 🥂

Fantastic cooking class - favorite Venice experience!

Emily_C, Feb 2026
Paolo was the best instructor. So informative but also very fun! This was by far our favorite experience. You get to talk to locals hear about their grandma or Nona teaching them to make pasta while also mastering the skill passed down by generations in Italy. Cannot say enough about how much we thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class. What a wonderful class and highly recommend. You 10/10 have to do this when traveling to Italy!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Hi again Emily! We are absolutely honored that this was your favorite experience in Venice! Paolo will be thrilled to hear that he was the "best instructor." We love that you connected with the stories about his Nona teaching him to make pasta—passing down those skills is exactly what this class is all about. We hope you continue mastering the skill at home! 🍝 Reply to elizado...

Sydney_P, Jan 2026
I booked this experience for my boyfriend as a Christmas present, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. We had an amazing time learning how to make bruschetta, homemade pasta, and tiramisu. Our host, Paolo, truly made the experience unforgettable. He was incredibly welcoming, patient, and made sure everyone felt confident and included. He shared so many helpful tips, kept the class fun with his great sense of humor, and created such a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. The unlimited prosecco was the perfect touch. I can’t recommend this experience (and Paolo!) enough.

Response from Host, Jan 2026
