★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 28 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $215

Meet near Chiesa di San Giacomo di Rialto, then cook three Italian courses with a Venetian host such as Giulia, Patrizia, Barbara, or Nadine. You will prepare a seasonal starter, pasta, and dessert, then sit down with local wine, water, and espresso. Menus can vary, so confirm the pasta course and note any allergies before booking.

“Host was very friendly and knowledgeable. Experience was fun, but not much food, and it took way longer than it should have. After we made the pasts, we sat around for an unusually long time waiting for the meal to cook Maybe make the sauce before and have the pasta water ready to go. Overall an ok experience.”
