Don't just sit in a restaurant but be a true Venetian! Let's pick the best fresh fish at the Rialto market, cross the Canal Grande on a gondola and hurry up heading home. Be your own chef at my place in a state of the art kitchen overlooking the canal.
Become a venetian! Fish tastes better when it is fresh, seasonal and local, especially if you personally buy it and cook it at home with the tips of a local guy!

Service animals allowed
Public transportation options are available nearby
Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap

We will meet at the market place in Venice: Rialto: its fish market is noisy, raw, authentic and full of true venetian life. Fish is artfully arranged on stalls covered with deep layers of crushed ice, seagulls wander among the fishmongers calling out today's catch, local people purposefully browse the stalls scattered in the two halls of the "Pescheria", as generations of venetians have been doing so in the last 800 years! As soon as we made our best choice for fish, we will cross the Canal Grande on Gondola ferry, very probably together with some local housewives hurring up heading home! We will have a 15 minutes walk through hidden "calles" up to Fondamente Nuove, where will get home in Murano thanks to a short vaporetto ride. We will cook our meal together while tasting some glasses of prosecco, some appetizers and enjoying the view on the canal from the dining room. Then it will be time to check if we made the best choice at the market and enjoy our lunch: we will have some pasta with a tasty fish sauce while a seabass will be going to be cooked to perfection! We will then say arrivederci only after a strong Italian coffee, of course brewed from a moka machine!

I was expecting this experience to be unique and special, and I was looking forward to it as a highlight of our trip. I could not have anticipated how far it would exceed my expectations. Valerio put us at ease instantly, guiding us as we chose our ingredients from the market, always considerate of our needs and interests, yet introducing us to new flavors (both literally and figuratively). Making the meal together in his home felt natural and fun thanks to Valerio's authentic warmth and hospitality. We never stopped talking as he led us through this culinary experience, and he shared details of life in Venice we could never have learned from a guidebook. He did not rush at all, and it truly felt like we were having lunch with a friend. His additional recommendations for things to do and see in Venice helped us to make the most of our limited time in this beautiful city. I can not recommend Valerio and this authentic Venetian experience more highly!

While visiting Venice, I had the pleasure of booking a tour with Valerio for fish shopping at Rialto Market followed by home cooking in Murano. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary and truly authentic. We began our day at Rialto Market, selecting fresh, local ingredients under Valerio's expert guidance. From there, we traveled to his lovely home in Murano, where he prepared a mouthwatering multi-course meal, perfectly paired with libations for each course. What made the experience even more special was how hands-on it was—my friend and I got to help with some of the preparations, which made the meal feel even more personal and rewarding. Throughout the day, Valerio’s warm and engaging personality shone. He answered all our questions about life in Italy with patience and enthusiasm, sharing fascinating insights into local culture and traditions. Despite our endless curiosity, he never seemed to tire of our company and made us feel completely at home. To top it off, Valerio provided excellent recommendations for other unique experiences and activities we could try during our trip. His hospitality, knowledge, and passion for sharing the Italian way of life made this tour the highlight of my visit to Venice. If you’re looking for an authentic, unforgettable experience in Venice, I cannot recommend Valerio enough. He is the perfect host and guide, and this experience is not to be missed!

I really did not know what to expect when my wife signed me up for an Italian Cooking Class for our May 2024 visit to Venice, Italy. It seems that somehow I never inherited the “cooking gene” and this was my wife’s opportunity to fix that problem. We were traveling with her sister and husband, their first visit to Venice. For about four hours, we were the students and our professor was master Italian cook, Valerio. Valerio met us at 11:00h near the public market adjacent to Rialto Bridge. We immediately discovered that Valerio was more than a cooking instructor, with his encyclopedic knowledge of Venice and its history. The first order of business was to select fresh tomatoes, artichokes, lettuce, potatoes, fish, shrimp, freshly cut rosemary leaves, and parsley. Valerio explained his methods for finding the best produce and fish. We next stopped at a bakery for fresh whole grain bread and a dessert. After a gondola ride from the market to the Vaporetto Station, we were soon on our way to Valerio’s home on the Island of Murano. Once there, Valerio patently explained his plan and assigned us roles that matched our skill levels. I was initially assigned to cut the bread, and I am proud to say that I still have the same number of fingers. I also cut the tomatoes for the salad. My fellow students raved at how skillfully the bread and tomatoes were cut. The five of us enjoyed drinks of Prosecco, mixed with a variety of aperitives. An excellent local white wine was also served. Food started with a lettuce and tomato salad along with bronze cut spaghetti served with a homemade tomato sauce. Valerio guided us through the preparation of the fish, a fresh water bass stuffed with salt, olive oil, and rosemary leaves. I expected the fish to taste salty, but instead it was richly delicious. After enjoying more Prosecco and the culinary results of our efforts, we enjoyed a chocolate cake dessert followed by after dinner drinks. We came away with a great appreciation for Italian food, Venetian style. If you are planning a trip to Venice and enjoy Italian food (who doesn’t), Valerio’s Italian Cooking Class should not be missed. Without question, it was the highlight of our visit to Venice. Valerio’s cooking class rates five out of five stars.

We met Valerio in April 2022 on the tour "in the footsteps of Commissario Brunetti" and then immediately found out about other tours with Valerio! Now the time had finally come, I celebrated my 60th birthday with my girlfriend and my 3 sisters in Venice and on my special day we booked the tour "Fish shopping at the Rialto market and home preparation in Murano". It was simply GREAT!!! After our interesting shopping tour at the fish market, we set off for Murano with super fresh fish, vegetables and salad and there, after warming up with Prosecco, we prepared a super delicious birthday meal together at Valerio's. Everyone took on a task and thanks to Valerio's friendly and amiable manner, it was as if we had known each other forever. We all felt very comfortable, the food was simply super delicious and I couldn't have spent my special day any better!!! THANK YOU Valerio!!! .... and on my next visit to Venice, a tour with Valerio is an absolute MUST!!!

This experience with Valerio was amazing! I was traveling with my parents and we asked to do a private tour for Covid concerns and this turned out to be the best decision ever! We came to Venice for the day from where we were staying in Bologna and Valerio met us right at the train station and essentially gave us a private tour of Venice. We learned so much history about the neighborhoods, the canals, the address system, etc. He taught us tricks about getting around Venice, and we learned about native shrimp and seafood to the local lagoon. We went to the Rialto fish market to pick up fresh ingredients and then went to the Island of Murano to his lovely home to cook. We probably never would have gone to this island had we not had this experience! We got to make artichoke hearts, roasted fish with fresh herbs and lemon, roasted potatoes and fresh shrimp with spaghetti in a yummy tomato sauce. These dishes were very simple, but delicious! He was such a knowledgeable, friendly, and hospitable host and we learned so much from him! We're not big drinkers so he might have been a bit disappointed that we didn't drink a full bottle of wine or finish our pre lunch cocktails, but he did manage to get my mom to try an amaro which is a big feat! He even recommended places for us to grab some Cicchetti before we had to head back to Bologna.. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour as a way to learn about and appreciate Venice from a native venetian, and to cook some delicious fresh seafood!

Original and authentic experience that exceeded all our expectations. It was not a cooking class but an immersive experience in the world of Venetians

If you want to feel like a real Venetian, then immerse yourself in this glorious day of cooking. Our host Valerio met us at the Rialto market where together we learnt about all the wonderful local produce.His knowledge is extensive,his hospitality vast. As a group we all had an opportunity to get involved, while learning, laughing and enjoying this experience in Valerio's own kitchen ,making this such a personal experience not to be missed or forgotten.

This was such a wonderful experience. From meeting Valerio in Rialto to spending the day with the other four guests cooking at his home, everything was terrific. Valerio took the time to make sure we were involved in the process from picking out the fish at the Rialto market as well as the vegetables and dessert, we were part of the preparation. The Seabass shrimp and tomatoes salad and fruit was delicious, everything cooked to perfection. To top it off we had sparkling wine to start & wine with lunch with espresso and an aperitif to finish the day. Valerio offered terrific suggestions what to do with the rest of our time in Murano as well as the restaurant recommendations for our time in Venice. Truly, everything was perfect from the beginning until the end. I wouldn't hesitate to spend an afternoon doing this, I know you won't regret it
