OUR COOKING CLASS

Handmade Pasta & Tiramisù: An Authentic Taste of Chioggia

Step away from the tourist crowds of Venice and dive into the heart of Chioggia, Italy’s “Little Venice.” Join us for an intimate, hands-on cooking masterclass where tradition isn’t just taught—it’s tasted. In a cozy setting designed for small groups, you’ll go beyond the recipe book to master the soulful art of Italian home cooking.

Experience Highlights

  • The Art of the “Sfoglia”: Under the guidance of a local expert, you will learn the secrets of perfect fresh egg pasta. You’ll mix, knead, and roll out the dough entirely by hand. Our goal? To give you a foolproof technique that is easily replicable in your own kitchen, so you can bring a piece of Italy back home.
  • The Authentic Sauce: No pasta is complete without its soulmate. Depending on the morning’s catch, we will prepare a seasonal seafood sauce—a tribute to Chioggia’s world-famous fishing heritage. Prefer the land? We also offer a rich, traditional Ragù to toss with your freshly made pasta.
  • Tiramisù Masterclass: Everyone loves this iconic dessert, but few know the “Nonna-approved” secrets. Each guest will hand-craft their own individual Tiramisù, balancing creamy mascarpone and espresso to create the perfect dolce finish.
  • A Convivial Feast: After the hard work comes the reward. Sit down with your fellow foodies to enjoy the dishes you’ve created, all perfectly paired with a selection of fine local wines and great conversation.

What to Expect

This isn’t just a demonstration; it’s a fully immersive experience. By keeping our groups small, we ensure you receive personalized attention, ensuring your pasta dough is just the right consistency and your Tiramisù is perfectly layered.
