A Delicious and Authentic Cooking Experience in Venice - I can’t recommend this pasta and tiramisu cooking class in Venice enough! As someone who loves Italian food but had never tried making it myself, this was the perfect experience. The small group size made it feel intimate and special, and we really got to bond with the other participants and our wonderful instructor.

Excellent class with Matilde in Venezia - We had the most amazing experience with Matilde in Venezia! For our cooking course, Matilde selected a wonderful menu with both seafood and meat flavors. We started with learning about Italian food and culture, then moved onto cooking techniques, which we practiced with making tiramisu from scratch. My kids loved the hands on experience and Matilde was so patient with them. (And funny too!) She’s accomplished at tiramisu and it shows. We got to lick the mixing bowl clean and the fabulously smooth and delicateness of the creme made us exited for more! The pasta-making was absolutely fun for us as we got to make a multitude of shapes and sizes, including using real Italian tools from her nonna. To our surprise she had wine and appetizers for us ready to go. She shared her favorites and funnest music too. In the end we enjoyed the delicious tiramisu we made together. We loved it all! Matilde was a superb host, super friendly lady, fantastic teacher, and new family friend.

Pasta with a view! - We had a delightful time during our pasta-making class in Italy. Spending four relaxing hours cooking and eating together was one of the highlights of our trip. The class itself was exceptional, held in a charming home overlooking a canal. We learned to make two different types of pasta and the delicious dessert, tiramisu. It was a joy to meet and interact with the other couple in our group. We shared laughs, sipped prosecco, and had a wonderful time chatting throughout the experience. We were so impressed that we've already ordered a pasta maker to try our hand at making pasta at home using the recipe Nico provided. Our only problem was with the information on where to meet from Viator. The app listed the wrong location. Once we clicked on the contact host link, the correct address was provided. We were a little late, but still had a great time.

A perfect family food experience - Loved this experience; the location was perfect, a short boat ride from St Mark’s, a wander through a local neighbourhood and into the delightful home of Rosa. There were welcome drinks on arrival which gave all of us a chance to meet before starting on our pasta making. The course itself was meticulously planned so that everything we made from “Rosa’s Rainbow” to fresh ravioli, fettuccine and tomato sauce and finally tiramisu, were all ready together. Rosa and her daughter, Angela also gave us great cooking tips as well as a delightful food history facts along the way too which made the course even more enjoyable especially for our children. Then we all got to sit down and enjoy the meal together - what a feast! Honestly better than any restaurant meal in Venice, a superb spread and completely worth the time and the money. An absolute must-do experience!

A great experience! - This cooking class is worth its value. Giulia was amazing. Our small family group had a very welcoming, cosy and homely experience cooking inside her home. We learnt all about how to make authentic Italian pasta and tiramisu. FYI: if you’d like to tailor your experience (i.e.learn how to make a tomato sauce or carbonara, make sure you ask in advance).

Terrible customer service - Do not sign up for the pasta making class. The tour operator sent me a message at 9:00am that the 11:00am class was cancelled due to the host having other commitments. They offered the 6:00pm time slot. I replied I needed the details of that class. The class is held at someone’s home. Wondering how sanitary that is? The tour operator then sent a message that the time had changed to 5:00pm. I replied that didn’t work for us as we had other planned event at that time. I have not been given a refund as they are saying I cancelled last minute. So many things are wrong with this tour and Viator. Try another operation.
