Amazing experience with a wonderful host - We had an amazing time with Patrizia! She was so accommodating, the location was beautiful. We had a group of 12, which is not always easy to manage and she did a wonderful job. We all wanted to go back after leaving.

An Experience To Remember!! - This was by far the highlight of our family’s trip to Venice!! From the spectacular view of Venice from Patrizia’s home, to the well thought out plan for teaching us how to make Tiramisu and a variety of pastas, to the demo of traditional Venitian dishes, the delicious wines and take home gift with recipes, all among a backdrop of a relaxing home and music, this was a night we will remember forever! Thank you for welcoming us into your home. We left Venice with more than some recipes…we left with a beautiful new friend.

Excellent cooking experience - Learning to cook traditional Italian dishes with a local was so enjoyable. Recipes were provided so I can make at home. Cooking one on one in a small home kitchen was really personable and like being with family

Bellisimo - Great chance to learn real Italian food preparation. The only annoying thing was our time of class was changed by our hostess to 2 hours earlier the same day which meant we had to rearrange our whole day ! However we would recommend this interactive delicious experience

Gnocchi making machines! - Great experience!!!! Nadine was phenomenal to work with and VERY patient with our novice cooking abilities….. The whole experience was the perfect “souvenir” for us to take home from our trip! We cannot wait to make gnocchi at home (we already bought the wooden forming board on Amazon so it will be at home when we arrive!)

A wonderful experience eating delicious food and making a new friend - We did the cooking experience with Giulia. The entire experience was lovely. She was warm and friendly. We tried the Cynar aperitivo with the delicious starter plates. We helped make the ravioli and for dessert we had delicious tiramisu. We also had corn biscuit cookies were different and yummy. We enjoyed Giulia’s stories, admired her beautifully decorated apartment and left feeling like we had made a new friend for life. We would definitely want to share another experience with her when we return to Venice.

Not much food, and went much longer than it should. - Host was very friendly and knowledgeable. Experience was fun, but not much food, and it took way longer than it should have. After we made the pasts, we sat around for an unusually long time waiting for the meal to cook Maybe make the sauce before and have the pasta water ready to go. Overall an ok experience.

VIATOR needs to do better for the price we paid - Our host, NADINE, was wonderful BUT we did NOT make a fresh pasta which is why we signed up for this class. We made a “tuna meatball” for the appetizer, a risotto for the main course and a pudding type of dessert. VIATOR did NOT give the full address so we were searching for the place. And more importantly VIATOR should list if the host as animals when the class is in a home, she had 2 cats and 2 out of the 3 of us are allergic to cats and were absolutely miserable for the rest of the day and night. Also the host had NO air conditioning in the sweltering summer.
