Lorenzo is the best - We had the most amazing time! My group got lost in a rain storm and Lorenzo came and found us. From the start he was a very nice person and his English is pretty good. We washed up, got our cooking aprons on and got right to it. Lorenzo took us through all the steps and ingredients needed to make the noodles, sauce and the fresh sea bass. Lorenzo served us wine from his personal collection and told stories about his home town of Venice. We had a great time taking turns trying each cooking technique. After cooking, we all sat down and ate together. The food was Amazing. Lorenzo was a professional cook before he started doing classes and the results showed that. Our class time was from 6 to 9 but we sat and ate and drank until we'll after 10pm. Over all, that evening was one of my top 3 moments in Italy. Highly recommend. Five stars. I would do this again.

What a great time! - We had a great time! Lorenzo was gracious host and we enjoyed cooking with him. No one else booked the same date so we had a private class which was nice. Would definitely do this again. Grazi Lorenzo for your hospitality!

Great meal. - A great experience with a great chef. Very nice kitchen and everything was right on time and as advertised. Lorenzo was so welcoming and let us do as much cooking as we wanted. Hand made our own pasta. We recommend you get to meeting point early and walk down the canal to Sottobanco (sp?) for happy hour. Very good wine and low price and right on the canal.

Fabulous Experience - We had the best time with Lorenzo! This was such a fun and learning experience. We made pasta, which will be easy to do at home; made Tiramisu, which I will be making for a dinner party on Friday night; and a delicious sauce with eggplant. Lorenzo made sure everyone had a chance to try each activity and participate. The food was delicious! I would recommend cooking with Lorenzo!

Highlight of Venice! - Four of us booked this class with Lorenzo and we're so happy that we did. From start to finish, this experience was everything we'd hoped for. We learned about Venetian cuisine, culture, and life along with learning techniques to make delicious food. Lorenzo taught us how to make 3 kinds of pasta, an incredible vegetarian sauce from scratch, and even tiramisu. This class also allowed all attendees to share life experiences (and we also learned some about Norway from other attendees), it was exactly the type of warm and friendly experience we were hoping to have.

Lovely evening with some more potential. - The food was very yummi and Maurizio was also very nice. He is a good chef. There is still some potential in terms of hosting - but perhaps he was just not vibing with the group. He did everything to make the group happy in the kitchen. What would be nice at the end would be to get the receipe to replicate the experience at home. Other than that: lovely evening, great and fresh food. Was also fun to see how „venetians live“.
