Amazing dinner experience for the entire family - We were welcomed by our gracious chef into her beautiful home in the heart of beautiful Venice. She took the time to connect with everyone, share her own story, and make us feel like family. The evening kicked off with a little Prosecco, appetizers and pleasant conversation. We made 2 kinds of pasta and tiramisu, and all were fantastic. Watching our kids make homemade pasta the same way our family has done for generations and see them experience the love and artistry of cooking was a gift. Adding to the experience, our chef appeared to enjoy teaching the group as much as we all enjoyed learning. The evening was thoroughly enjoyable and one my family will never forget.

Fantastic dinner experience! - Barbara was the best and we had a fantastic time. She taught us how to make ravioli, gnocchi, and tiramisu in a way that was interactive and stress-free. Can’t thank her enough for letting us into her home for this great experience!

Barbra was an amazing host! - I booked this for my wife and we both really enjoyed the experience. Barbra was our host and it was very neat being invited into her home and getting hands on. She was amazing and I recommend this as a must while in Venice!

Well worth it - The host was phenomenal. We really enjoyed meeting her. She taught us sooo welll. The experience gave insight of never buy noodles. Homemade pasta is so much better. Only issue is after booking look for the email of where the apartment is. We went to the meeting place and it was 15 minutes away. Our host was very understanding

Delicious experience! - Giulia, our host was amazing. Viator however, made a mistake with the meeting area and we were 25 minutes late. Luckily Giulia is a total pro and was able to entertain the other participants while we ran halfway across Venice to her studio. Even though we started late she didn't rush anything and we all had lots of fun. I don't think we'll ever buy dried pasta again! She made the whole class super fun and easy - and delicious!!

So fun and delicious! - Barbara had a beautiful home and she was so welcoming. The food she prepared was beyond amazing! She was so knowledgeable and great teacher for the 4 of us. I would highly recommend this for a group event. Not only do you learn and experience making pasta but you experience delicious food and wine.

Fantastic dinner! - What a special experience! Nadine was so incredibly kind to welcome us into her home. She even went to the market to get ingredients that inspired her based on what was fresh that day. Our pasta was fantastic and getting the perspective of Venice from a local was great. Thank you Nadine!

Magnificent - From the minute we met Giulia til we said goodbye it was a wonderful experience. She opened her home to six people she didn’t know and we ended up leaving as friends. The food we made was wonderful and we can’t wait to go home and try all the recipes on our own .
