Overview

Three hours in a Venetian restaurant kitchen is the shape of this class. Run by Cooking Italy, it walks a group of up to 20 travellers through making fresh pasta from scratch, with reviewers mentioning ravioli and fettuccine among the shapes covered, followed by tiramisu assembled the traditional way. Then everyone sits down to eat what they made, with wine poured for those 18 and over. The class takes place in an Italian restaurant, and one reviewer described the setting as an authentic part of the experience.

The class suits beginners and confident cooks alike. Several reviewers said the instructions were easy to follow and left them feeling they could reproduce the recipes at home. Families with teenagers have enjoyed it, and one reviewer reported that children as young as eight loved it, though infant seats are available for the very small.

It is also a sociable few hours. Travellers repeatedly mention meeting other travellers and great people, sharing the experience with the group, and laughing through the session with hosts they found engaging and funny. Anyone hoping for a quiet, private lesson should look elsewhere, since a private class is not part of this product. The trade-off is a group session that one reviewer described as the highlight of their trip.

Common issues. The class is capped at 20 travellers, so anyone wanting an intimate session may find it larger than expected, and a private class is not offered. It is not wheelchair accessible. The menu centres on gluten, dairy and eggs, which rules the class out for many with intolerances, even with substitutes offered. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund, with no refunds or changes accepted after that point. Wine is only served to travellers aged 18 and above, so younger participants get the food but not the drinks.
