Local's Home Pasta And Tiramisu

Overview

This is a cooking class held inside a local family's home in Venice, operated by Cesarine. You join an expert home cook, roll fresh pasta dough by hand, shape two traditional pasta types from family cookbooks, and then build a tiramisu layer by layer. The class runs two to three hours, and the exact address is only shared after booking, for the host family's privacy.

The session is structured around cooking and then eating. You start with an Italian aperitivo of prosecco and snacks while the host explains techniques and shares stories about local food culture. After the cooking, you sit down with your host family and eat what you made, served with water, local wines, and coffee.

It suits travellers who want a meal inside a Venetian home rather than a restaurant or a demonstration kitchen. Reviewers consistently describe warm, welcoming hosts, and one mentioned receiving a PDF of the recipes to make at home. At least one adult is required per booking, and dietary requirements can be arranged with the provider after booking.
