Overview

Learn guided by a local chef how to make traditional "Pasta Fresca" from scratch with a fresh seasonal sauce, followed by one of Italy's most famous desserts Tiramisù. After the cooking workshop enjoy a 3-course menu with the recipes prepared during the class with local wines and selected beverages. This experience is perfect for groups of friends, families and team-building events.

Live an authentic culinary experience in Venice. Giudecca Island is one of the few places in Venice that still retains its authenticity of real Venetian life. Always full of orchards and gardens, the Giudecca was once a refuge for the Venetian nobility who moved there during the warmer months. It is there in the middle of green and flowers, where your host awaits you in her kitchen full of colors. Once there she will welcome you with a glass of Prosecco, and distribute the aprons to get to work preparing the pasta dough and transforming it under her attentive guidance into the different traditional forms of "pasta fresca". You will prepare the sauces to dress the pasta, and as a second course a pan of baked vegetables and fruit, her original signature.
Finally, you will prepare the Tiramisu the Italian dessert king, according to the traditional recipe.
After this hands-on cooking class, choose the chair of your favorite color and enjoy what you’ve prepared for dinner with local wines or water and finally a classic Italian coffee.
Share your passion for the Italian cuisine with your friends once you are back home, with the recipes you have learn.

Rosa’s Rainbow was an original! Excellent experience with Rosa. She and her daughter made us feel right at home. We learned to make pasta, ravioli and Tiramisu. It was amazing. The best part was the original creation of vegetables and fruit that was Rosa’s original recipe. This alone was worth the trip.

This was a fantastic experience— the highlight of the trip. Our group of seven included a 4 year old and an infant, serious home cooks and some who cook very little. There was something for everyone. The discussion of cooking was serious— Rosa introduced important principles of cooking that we have taken to other recipes. The environment was fun— we got our hands dirty making pasta and tiramisu. some in our group mostly sipped Prosecco, and our 4 year old was fully engaged throughout The food was delicious. It was one of our best meals in Venice and we have recreated several of the dishes at home. On a personal note: Rosa and her assistant are incredibly warm, welcoming and adaptive. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them. We cannot recommend this enough!

Cooking with Rosa was our favorite part of our trip! Rosa and her daughter, Angela welcomed us into their home and treated us like family. They shared cooking techniques, recipes, and their love of food and family. The evening was full of fun, growth, and a delicious meal! Rosa equally included everyone in our party, from children to my son-in-law, who is a sous-chef in the states. She took him aside to demonstrate additional techniques and kitchen secrets and greatly appreciated his own expertise. The simplicity yet attention to detail showed with all we did. Angela was warm and welcoming and excellent at answering questions and keeping us all on task. We loved it all, and would not hesitate to participate again. Rosa and Angela’s Cooking experience is not one to miss!
