The evening class skips the market and runs two courses, and pickup is not included. 4.9 from 355 reviews at €95 per person. **Market first?:** Morning tier: Rialto market, then three courses at home with spritz and prosecco; from €95 per person buys the evening class, no market. 4.9, 355 reviews. Trade-off: Evening class skips the market and a course. (last checked September 22, 2026) In our comparison: #3 of 6 in Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview We will discover the historic Rialto market in a small group of people.
