I travel extensively with merchant ships around the globe, but I never tire of meeting new people! I love sharing my passion for food and my city. Many old dishes that you can’t find in restaurants anymore are available at my home, with a wide selection! I’m open to your requests (allergies or specific foods you’d like to try). I specialize in seafood, so let’s explore the beautiful Rialto market. But if you don’t like fish, we’ll take a culinary journey through the foods of the Veneto region, from the high mountains to the sea. Welcome to my home; we will become friends!

A gastronomic trip to paradise - Was a gastronomic trip to paradise! Each course comes with its own cocktail or wine. All this is accompanied by interesting stories from the hystory of Venice and the personal stories come from a life in the sea.Massimo was really entertaining and revealing the mystery of the ingredients, we eat amazing tortellini with fresh pesto of dried tomatoes and cheese from the hihg mountain....and we taste the amazing sea food from the market ...highly recommended!

Unforgettable Venice Market Tour and Cooking Class - One of the most memorable highlights of our Venice holiday was the cooking class with the sailor Max - The original Cooking Class & Market Tour. Our host is not only passionate about Italian dishes but has a wonderful sense of humor too. The class size was perfect and we got a hands on training on cooking a 3 course Italian meal including one kinds of pasta and one of tortellini ! I will attend the class again if and when I am in Venice again. Max took us to Rialto Market in the morning and the experience we got was that of an Italian grandma buying fresh raw ingredients for her cooking!!
The pizza , and the big selections of varius tastes of cheese , honey , salad, wine and charcuterie was amazing...all surronded with a warm focaccia, a kind of bread with potatoes.
Really good❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you sailor!

Pasta with fresh seafood from the market....the best pasta in my life - I had an absolutely amazing experience at the group cooking class in Venice! Starting with the visit to the local market, Max talked us through some of the local delicacies including a few cheeses key to a successful italian meal. We got to taste some Really old wine, with an amazing kind of prosciutto
Max, guided us through every step of the process, making sure that everyone felt included and comfortable. The pasta-making session was a hands-on experience, where we learned to make pasta .
Overall, the group cooking class exceeded all my expectations. The combination of the market visit, pasta-making, and dessert, shared with some new friends made the 4 hours fly. I just went and bought some ingredits , ready for reply the amazing lunch i eat in the charmy Max's the sailors house....and he is full of stories from the sea and from his lovely Venice ...high reccomanded

Lunch with one of the last sailor s from Venice, an experience outside of tourist path - Wonderful morning with Massimo. We were traveling with another couple so there were only four of us. It would have been even more special with more guests but Massimo kept us amused and was the perfect host. The food and wines were excellent. It was a fun lunch we are still talking about. This experience with Massimo was a great experience that I would highly recommend. Thank you sailor for making our Venice trip so special. We remember your lovely hand made tortellini!!!

It was a very authentic and fun Venetian experience - We celebrated our trip in Venice with Massimo in his beautiful venue. We started out by walking to the local farmers market to pick out some fresh ingredients, then went back and started cooking. We quickly felt like family while learning to cook multiple local recipes. All while sipping wine and listening to music. He was so patient with us while we learned how the locals hand make these dishes. GREAT variations of dishes and amazing ingredients.
He do a perfect cooking class for us and follow our wishes.Don t miss it!

Who better than a sailor to prepare fresh seafood? excellent - This is a great cooking class. I would highly recommend it. We did the tour of the Rialto market first which was amazing. We got taken around the market and things were explained to us. The cooking class is in an apartment which is decorated beautifully. The chef Max was excellent and was able to impart his knowledge.Do don t miss pasta with seafood excellent

Life-changing experience! - We enjoyed the marketplace together, the cooking and the eating. All of us had a great time and would highly recommend the experience to anyone considering it! Easily well worth the money!!!Life-changing experience! Learning how to make homemade pasta from scratch was one of the highlights. The fresh pasta I made was unlike anything you can buy in stores – the taste, texture, and overall quality were on a whole new level. Max s instructions were incredibly clear and informative, making the process both enjoyable and approachable. After this, I’m never going back to store-bought pasta. If you’ve ever thought about trying it yourself, I highly recommend taking this class. It’s an experience that will transform how you

More than a normal cooking class! - We had an amazing tour filled with flavors from the Venice region! From savory dishes to a wonderful dessert. From the high mountains of the Dolomites (with amazing cheese!) to fresh fish bought at the Rialto Market. Massimo taught us how to make fresh pasta, as well as focaccia—an incredible type of pizza/bread. His ancient house is also really charming. Thank you for the delicious wine from your father, Massimo!

Culture, history, good food ... and the magic of Venice! - We highlighly recommend it for a unique experience while in Venice. There were a lot of laughs and of course, there was wine to enjoy while you cook. Don't miss the chance to join the chef in the kitchen when the meal comes together!
Amazing skill learned from Massimo ( he know how to cook! ), and outstanding the visit at the fresh market!
