3.Traditional Home Cooking Experience in Venice

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 377 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $95

Cook fresh pasta in Venice with Rosa or another local host, choosing a 3.5-hour full session or a shorter Bite-and-Go class. You’ll knead, roll, and shape pasta, make sauces and tiramisu, then sit down to eat with wine and water in Cannaregio or Giudecca.

“Our cooking class with Rosa was the highlight of my entire 2 week vacation with my family. Rosa welcomes you into her home and INSTANTLY makes you feel like family. All of my 3 kids had so much fun leaving to make pasta and all of the dishes we ate for dinner. I was also SO appreciative that Rosa went above and beyond to ensure that my son, who has a tree nut allergy, felt fully included in everything we learned and did while making sure that he was safe in the food prep process and could eat everything that the rest of us ate (just with some ingredient modifications).…”
