Enjoy a private market tour and Italian cooking class with Laura is a true-blue Venetian. She was born and raised in Venice and lives in a beautiful apartment in the city center (only a 20-minute walk from the city center). The neighborhood is very local with not many tourists so you will get to experience a real Italian suburb. Laura loves to travel, watch movies, go to the market and of course, cook! She learned to cook traditional dishes from her mother and she likes to serve local dishes from Veneto. She only uses fresh and organic ingredients from the local farmers. Laura is also an expert in vegetarian food, as she was a vegetarian for 10 years (but not anymore!).

My family and I had an amazing experience with our wonderful cook Laura. Her warmth and knowledge made the experience, both educational and personable. We learned how to perfect an Italian dish and dessert that we will make for family and friends when we get back to the states. She shared insights about the city that only locals would know, as well as shared local eateries that she highly recommend. If you’re looking for an authentic experience to immerse yourself in the Venetian culture, I highly recommend taking her class!

Laura was an amazing host for this awesome cooking class. She was gracious friendly and knowledgeable. Before cooking, she took us on a tour of the local market, which was just charming. She also showed us where to get local wine! The food we made, risotto and tiramasu, was awesome. She also walked us around the area and showed us some local spots. her apartment is off the beaten path so it was neat to see the other side of Venice, we highly recommend this activity if you are visiting venice.

The course with Lorenzo perfect.
Lorenzo is professional and very friendly. On the other hand, the tour operator is not very honest.
Paying the same price for a service that cannot be honored...
Indeed, we discovered after booking that December 26 in Venice was a public holiday… so no market!!!!! So they shouldn't be offering this activity these days!!!
Or lower the price of the service!
Once again, I recommend Lorenzo.

My boyfriend got this private cooking class on our first trip to Venice and we could not have had a better experience with Laura. We started off the morning exploring and shopping for ingredients in a farm market near her apartment. We went to Laura’s apartment to eat cheese, drink wine, and start cooking a veggie risotto and tiramisu. Everything was absolutely delicious and we would definitely do this tour again! If you have half a day, this is a must do!! Thank you for an incredible experience, Laura!

Booked this class through TripAdvisor. All went flawless. Laura met us at the prearranged meeting location at the designated time. She showed us the area and we went to a local shop for the wine to use for the meal. A worth walk over to the area where she lives. Right below her apartment was a small farmers market. She explained the meal for the day and purchased the regulated fresh items. We then went to her apartment and prepared the meal. She was very organized and everything was in place.
It was just my wife and I. We learned many things about the area and got the chance to lean how life is for a local. We have taken several cooking classes as we travel and strongly suggest the experience. We find that we lean so much about the area and many times meet many wonderful travelers.

Great time. Laura was great and we had fun walking around the market. Once we started cooking we had fun and learned more about the culture.

Cooking class was amazing! It was so fun to see local market stands and learn about where the fresh ingredients came from. Laura did a great job explaining how to complete the different steps for tiramsu and risotto to make the process easy. The food (and wine) was wonderful at the end, and she even left us with a few suggestions for the rest of our trip!

Chef Laura is the best. So friendly and knowledgeable. She taught us how to make a delicious tomato risotto and tiramisu. She took us to a local vegetable market that was on a boat. Highly recommend.

This was an outstanding activity. Our host Laura was fabulous and made the day. We were a family of four, 2 kids aged 12 and everyone got involved with the cooking. Laura was so welcoming to us in to her home. I really cannot recommend this tour more highly.
