Overview

I'm a sailor but I learned to cook from my mother and grandma, we own an old and traditional restaurant and my father is a winemaker. I travel a lot with merchant ships all around the world but I never get tired of getting to know new people! I love to share my passion for food and my city. Many old dishes you cannot find anymore in the restaurant you can find in my home with a big selection! I'm open at your request (allergies or food you wanna try it).I m specialized in sea food, let's check what offer the beutiful Rialto market.But also if you don t like fish, will be a trip inside at the foods of Veneto region! From the high mountains to the sea. Welcome to my home, we will become friends!

We can discover the fresh market and buy delicious seafood, but not only, as Veneto region is rich in ingredients and my cuisine is rich in imagination. When we reach home we can cook old family recipes and travel through flavors, from the sea to the mountains we will discover many dishes. I m a story teller, stories from the sea, from ancient Venice, and from an old true Italian family. Welcome to my home: it will be a precious opportunity to discover Venice and local food from inside an ancient Venetian house. Let´s cook, have fun together... and eat well!

Stop At:

• Mercati di Rialto, Campo della Pescaria Vicino il Ponte di Rialto, 30125 Venice Italy

Sample Menu

• fresh pasta with sea food - i m specialized in sea food...but we can choose different sauces; the freshness of the market flavors will meet the unique flavor of homemade pasta.

    Great! We do many cooking class experiences but this was the best ! and we are so very pleased with our wonderful afternoon. I chose the only day that we had in Venice and asked Massimo whether he could accommodate us - he did and we also discussed the food selections and preferences by email. As others have said, he met us at a set location and we walked to his home from the market along with another family from England. He is just as described in his bio and photo - entertaining, witty and gracious placing us at ease quickly as if visiting a friend at home after many years. The food is good, but just part of the fun with talk, stories and sharing while the wine flows. Thanks, Massimo, for the experience - you made it great and we loved our visit to Venice!

    A perfect family afternoon! My and my family fell in love with Massimo as soon as we met him. So personable, so professional, and so funny! He was so organized and was able to set up all four of us to work at the same time, we made pasta, focaccia and several other dishes. Each one of us had so much fun we laughed, we cried we drank some wine, it was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend the market tour also. Thanks!!!!

    Me and my group loved this course so much! Massimo had no problem to create a customised menu based on our requests, he taught us a new way of making favourites like tortellini and taught us new foods like the best seafood we find in Rialto market.. And the best of all is that this is delicious and practical food we can make at home.. so the course is not just for the day!
