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 in a fully equipped kitchen of a typical Venetian house. You will taste an original aperitif and an excellent local wine.

Itinerary

I'll have the pleasure of sharing this unique experience with you, cooking together the authentic recipes of Venetian and Italian cuisine, teaching you the techniques to carry them out.

I'll lead you on a journey of discovery that will start from the historic Rialto market in the beating heart of the city, where we'll choose the best seasonal ingredients to prepare an authentic Italian meal.

We'll talk about the history of the market and its delicacies before heading to my cooking workshop with its lovely private courtyard.

In my kitchen you will learn the recipes to prepare and cook homemade pasta or gnocchi with a delicious sauce made from scratch. A traditional Venetian starter or second course based on fish, meat or vegetables. And the most famous Venetian dessert, the Tiramisù.

End your class by sitting down to enjoy the meal together accompanied by an excellent local wine.

Things to keep in mind:
The market is closed on national holidays.

On monday only the fish market is closed, we'll focus more on meat and vegetables.

Our charming Chef welcomed us into his home after a tour of the fish & vegetable markets. He taught us how to make Tiramisu, fish, and made from scratch pasta. A truly fun and memorable experience. Highly recommend!

This experience was life-changing for our family! Seeing and learning the simplicity, beauty, freshness, and ease of Italian cooking. We were truly able to take these new skills home to try and incorporate into our everyday life. Our two boys ages 8 and 12 also thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were included/participated. Filippo is so lovely, professional, and a great teacher and host. The kitchen is also a beautiful setting and so is the garden where we enjoyed our meal and drinks. An amazing experience all around. Highly recommend!!

This was one of the highlights of my tour with my granddaughter. Not only did we have a wonderful tour of the market but the chef gave clear & interesting explanations of the origins of the fish & food, how to evaluate for freshness & how to use different ingredients in cooking. . His kitchen & the garden are beautiful, right in the middle of the most beautiful part of Venice. The class was small enough (8 people, 3 were kids) so that each of us got individuals attention. My granddaughter is now begging for a pasta machine for Christmas & is in love with making Tiramasu. Felipe is a talented chef with an outgoing , easygoing personality. The end result of our experience was a fabulous pasta, fish & tiramisu lunch & my granddaughter ate every last scrap & she never, ever eats fish. Can’t wait to recreate this at home, he was gracious enough to send the recipes. Mary Paris

We had a wonderful experience with Felipe! His knowledge of the local food and markets gave us a great platform to learn. Friendly, funny and full of many local tips and insights. The meal was nice and slow to prepare as each of us had an opportunity to assist in the making! It was a small group of eight very friendly folks from all over the globe.
