Overview

This class takes place on the top floor of a 16th-century palace in Venice, in the home where the chef grew up. Guests cook at workstations in the living room, looking out over a quiet canal, while a family chef, Nicolò, Tommaso or Anthea, leads the session. The class runs for 3.5 hours and is built around two parts: a hands-on lesson and then a relaxed family-style meal.

The hands-on portion covers fresh pasta dough and tiramisu from scratch, with a focus on cold preparations. The cooking and sauce-making are handled by the hosts in the kitchen, so the class stays on schedule, though guests are welcome to watch, ask questions and pick up techniques while that happens. Guests work in pairs at dedicated stations, which the operator likens to a professional kitchen brigade.

The meal afterwards includes the two pasta dishes and the tiramisu made during the class, plus welcome snacks, an olive oil tasting with homemade focaccia, wine, mineral water, espresso and a limoncello shot. Digital recipe materials are provided afterwards, and there is a small farewell gift, a hand-painted bookmark. The class suits all skill levels.

The meal size. One reviewer noted the portions run a little small and suggested you might still be hungry if this is your only meal of the evening.
Group feel. Several travellers described a chatty, sociable atmosphere, with guests laughing and talking through the class and the shared dinner. Working in pairs at stations means you get to know at least one other guest quickly.

Common issues. The class is not fully hands-on: guests prepare the cold dishes such as pasta dough and tiramisu, while the cooking and sauce-making are done by the hosts in the kitchen. One reviewer felt the portions were small for a full dinner. The venue has no elevator and sits on the third floor, and the listing asks guests to mind the stairs. Pets and smoking are not allowed, and the operator asks guests to be respectful of the premises.
