The evening class skips the market and runs two courses, and pickup is not included. 4.9 from 353 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, 353 reviews. Trade-off: Evening class skips the market and a course. (last checked September 22, 2026) ## Overview We will discover the historic Rialto market in a small group of people. We will choose the best seasonal ingredients to prepare an authentic 3-course meal (2 course for the evening class) in a fully equipped kitchen of a typical Venetian house. You will taste an original aperitif and an excellent local wine. ## Before you book - Meeting point: EVENING CLASS: Please wait for the chef… - Starts 10:30, 17:00: 2 departures a day - Food included: Welcome Venetian Spritz or soft drinks,… - Strollers OK: infants accepted ## Key facts - Price: from €95 per person - Duration: 4h - Rating: 4.9/5 from 353 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 97% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Atelier Cuisine Venice - Cooking School ## 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 | |---|---|---|---| | Evening Class No Market | €95 / person | English, Italian, Spanish | Duration: 3 hours Starting point: Campo San Tomà, Campo S.
