Each season has its ingredients and each Italian festivity has its dishes and together we’ll create the most iconic examples of Venetian cuisine in line with long-held family traditions passed down through generations.

We’ll talk about the history of Venetian cookery and the abundance of ingredients sourced from the Venetian Lagoon and, through sharing and cooking together, you’ll discover the secrets of preparing a selection of exquisite local dishes that you’ll be able to recreate at home on your return.

Great experience cooking together! - We were very lucky to have such a great group and the whole event was really fun! We were able to try lots of delicious specialties and it was a great experience to prepare them ourselves. There was also excellent wine, and all of this in a beautiful and very well-kept location. Many thanks and warm greetings to Marta and Beatrice, our great leaders!

100% recommended in Venice - We loved it! I highly recommend it if you want to do something different and super fun. Starting with the location, it is very cool and the place is great and super clean! The PERFECT deal! You can see the love behind cooking and these activities. If you want to do something different that makes you feel part of the city, and at the same time meet people, then come to A Tavola! Thank you very much again!

Super Venetian cooking course - My partner and I took part in this cooking course and it was an unforgettable experience! We prepared very delicious Venetian and Italian dishes and ate them accompanied by delicious local wines. The chefs were very professional and hospitable. The place was perfect and cozy in every detail. The kitchen is very professionally equipped. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience and if we are in Venice we will definitely participate again! We heartily recommend this Venetian cooking course to everyone! 😉

Great Italian cooking class! - As I was travelling alone for work, I was looking for a way to spend my free time, learn something and meet new people. I was recommended this cooking class and I wanted to try it, also because I love Italian cuisine! It was a really great experience, I met other people who have the same passion for cooking as me, the place was crazy, in the middle of Venice with a secret courtyard! I had a great time and it was great to eat, cook and meet other people and curiosities about Venice and its cuisine! Kudos to all the staff, but especially the chefs were great. Thank you!

Fun, Local and authentic place 10/10! - I had the opportunity to participate in an A Tavola cooking class with a friend. The location is beautiful, truly Venetian with a professional kitchen. Everything is very clean (important if you are dealing with food!) You can see that the spaces have been organized and created with this objective. It is located in a central area of Venice but at the same time very "local", far from chaotic tourism. We had a lot of fun and it was nice to meet other people of different nationalities too. An experience that I certainly recommend and would do again. Chefs Marta and Beatrice were truly excellent hosts. A thousand thanks!!
