In this cooking class you'll make fresh pasta and tiramisu from scratch on the top floor of a 16th-century Venetian palazzo, in the very home where the chef grew up. The class is led by family chefs Nicolò, Tommaso or Anthea, and guests cook in pairs at their own stations. By the living room window overlooking the canal, you'll hear the stories behind each recipe and learn about traditional Venetian cuisine. After the class, enjoy a family-style meal of the dishes you made, finishing with wine, espresso and homemade limoncello.

The class takes place on the top floor of a 16th-century Venetian palazzo, in the very home where the chef grew up. From the living room window where you cook, you can see the quiet canal, vintage motorboats passing by and locals crossing the nearby bridge. Family chefs Nicolò, Tommaso or Anthea lead the class in English.

Working in pairs at dedicated stations, just like in a professional kitchen, you'll learn how to make fresh pasta dough and tiramisu from start to finish. The class covers two fresh pasta recipes and tiramisu inspired by Venetian tradition and seasonal ingredients, along with a tasting of homemade focaccia and olive oil.
Due to the structure and timing of the class, the cooking over heat and the sauces are handled by the chef in the kitchen. Even then, you're welcome to step into the kitchen at any time to watch up close and pick up cooking techniques and tips.

After the hands-on session, enjoy a relaxed family-style meal of the dishes you made together. A welcome snack, wine (1 bottle per 3 people) and water are served. The experience ends with an espresso, a shot of homemade limoncello and a small hand-painted bookmark as a farewell gift, and you'll receive the recipes as digital material.
Meeting point :
16th-century Venetian palazzo (doorbell GEMIN-ZANCHI)
Meeting point directions:
Look for the large wooden door near the canal with a seashell as its handle. Ring the doorbell (GEMIN-ZANCHI) and, once the door opens, come up to the very top floor. There is no elevator, so you'll need to take the stairs.
