The afternoon session shares the house with a dog, so allergy sufferers should choose the morning. 4.86 from 396 reviews for 3h 30m. In our comparison: #4 of 6 in Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Step away from the tourist crowds and into a real Venetian home for an authentic 3-hour culinary journey! This intimate home-cooking experience invites you to live, cook, and eat like a true local. Depending on the time of day, you will be welcomed into a private home kitchen in either the historic Cannaregio district (morning classes) or the picturesque island of Giudecca (evening classes)—two of Venice's most authentic neighborhoods. Guided by a passionate local chef, you will roll up your sleeves and learn to prepare a traditional 3-course feast from scratch. You'll master handmade "Pasta Fresca," a delicious seasonal vegetable main course, and the ultimate Italian dessert, Tiramisù. After the cooking workshop, gather around the table with your hosts and group to enjoy the fruits of your labor, paired with excellent local wines. Perfect for families, friends, and food lovers craving a genuine, off-the-beaten-path connection with Venice. ## Before you book - Meeting point: The meeting point is in front of the… - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 10:30, 17:00: 2 departures a day - Food included: Local Wine and water - Strollers OK: infants accepted **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €105 per person for the DINNER option; other options up to €125 - Duration: 3h 30m - Rating: 4.86/5 from 396 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: CURIOSEETY - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English, Italian - Start times: 10:30, 17:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-22 ## Reviews 4.86 from 396 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 96% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 382 of 396. - 5 stars: 374 (94%) - 4 stars: 8 (2%) - 3 stars: 4 (1%) - 2 stars: 2 (1%) - 1 star: 8 (2%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the warm welcome and practical cooking; some report overbooking without advance notice **Praised:** - Welcoming hosts who make guests feel part of the family - Hands-on pasta making with patient explanations for cooks of different abilities - Meals praised for their flavour and recipes guests find easy to use at home - Generous wine and relaxed conversation around a shared meal - Ingredient adjustments that include guests with food allergies **Complaints:** - Overbooking left guests waiting for a host, with no notice before arrival Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2024-09-27 to 2026-09-25); last checked 2026-10-04. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | DINNER | €105 / person (for 2+ people) | Italian, English | Cooking class with dinner: Cooking class with dinner Starting point: Fondamenta al Rio della Croce, 158, 30133 Venezia VE, Italy | | LUNCH | €125 / person | Italian, English | Duration: 2 hours Starting point: Cannaregio, 1035, 30121 Venezia VE, Italy | ## What's included - Local Wine and water - Hands on cooking class with the chef - Recipes to surprise guests back home - Complete 3-course meal (Pasta, Veggie Main, and Tiramisù) ## Not included - Hotel pickup - Hotel drop-off ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 10:30, 17:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-22 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point The meeting point is in front of the Guglie Water Stop, this is the only meeting point for the 10:30 am appointment.
