Venice: Pasta & Tiramisu Private Class By Cesarine

Our cooking course with Mauro was superb! We had so much fun learning about pasta and Tiramisu. Mauro taught us lots of Italian secrets… we won’t be sharing any of course.

This is a really fun and informative class if you’ve ever wanted to learn hire to make fresh pasta. We went to Nadine’s house and she’s super sweet and patient. Taught us hot make make gnocchi (the pasta kind, not the potato kind) and ravioli. Tiramisu is pretty easy, but the pasta takes some knowledge and technique. After making the pasta, she cooks it for you and you have a nice dinner. We really enjoyed this class and Nadine is a treat. Highly recommend it, especially with Nadine.

Don’t hesitate! My hostess was wonderful, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and so fun! The food was delicious, and she taught me the small tricks that make pasta and tiramisu very doable. She invited 2 friends which made for a very authentic and enjoyable experience. She is lovely!

My mom and I had the most amazing time taking a cooking class with Tessa in Venice. We couldn’t believe it, but she told us it was her very first time hosting, and you would never have guessed—it was seamless, warm, and absolutely unforgettable. What made it even more special was that her 80-year-old mother co-hosted the class with her, sharing not just recipes but also stories, laughter, and generations of Italian culinary tradition. From the moment we stepped into their charming home, we felt like part of the family. The atmosphere was welcoming and authentic, and their love for cooking (and for sharing it with others) was contagious. We learned how to make two types of fresh pasta from scratch and a delicious tiramisu—both of which turned out incredible thanks to their expert guidance and encouragement. This experience was the highlight of our trip. Tessa and her mother’s hospitality, patience, and warmth made it so much more than just a cooking class—it was a heartfelt cultural exchange we’ll cherish forever. If you’re considering a Cesarine class in Venice, this is the one. Thank you so much Tessa and your mother, for such a magical and memorable day!

This is the second time I’ve done a class with Giulia and it was just as amazing as the first time. My husband was able to go this time and he had such a great time! I will definitely be doing it again on my next trip to Venice!

One of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had. So much fun! We made pasta, memories and friends. Even bought the kitchen gadgets as soon as we got home to recreate the recipes.

We had a wonderful time with Rosa and Lide. Picked up some cooking tips, new recipes, and new friends. We won't hesitate to come back for more!

Unforgettable Culinary Adventure with Chef Giulia! We're still pinching ourselves after an incredible cooking experience with Chef Giulia in Venezia, Italy! As beginners, we were nervous but excited to dive into the world of pasta-making. Chef Giulia's expertise, patience, and warmth made us feel right at home. From kneading dough to crafting exquisite pasta dishes, Chef Giulia guided us through every step with precision and passion. Her infectious enthusiasm made the learning process effortless and enjoyable. The highlight? Savoring our handmade creations, of course! Each bite was a taste sensation, and we couldn't believe we'd created such mouthwatering masterpieces. Chef Giulia's cooking class is a must-do for anyone visiting Italy. Her knowledge, kindness, and love for Italian cuisine make this experience truly unforgettable. Don't miss out! 5/5 stars!

Quaint and cozy setting making pasta with 8 others…Rosa the host is lively and knowledgeable and her interpreter was clear and kind. Very fun and the end product was delicious.

Definitely the best part of our vacation BY FAR. Rosa was amazing, the food tasted great, learned so much, felt so welcome in her home, would HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Rosa didn’t ask us for reviews, she was just that amazing. Her daughter also helped and she was just as wonderful. Book with Rosa!

This was my favorite activity (and meal) in Venice! Barbara was such a wonderful house and we learned a lot. I came home and taught my kids to make the same pasta. The food was absolutely delicious and she even walked us to our water bus after to make sure we could get back.

Nadine was amazing! She was so welcoming and truly made us feel comfortable in her beautiful home. We had such a great time with her learning, cooking, and enjoying good company. 100% recommend to anyone looking to learn about cooking and culture. The food was excellent as well!!

We had a lovely time with Anna our Cesarine. He apartment had a lovely patio, secluded from the hustle and bustle of The Venice streets and she made us feel like we were friends visiting a friend. The pastas were amazing - and it was fun to learn how to make them. Tiramisu closed out the meal deliciously. Would definitely recommend and would do this again on another visit.

Julia is the loveliest host you could have; generous with her time and knowledge, patient, encouraging, fun and full of interesting information. We loved everything, even the wonky pasta shapes that we produced, and it was really enjoyable to eat the food we had produced (and we did everything ourselves, with a little help) at the end of the morning together; this session really made our visit to Venice memorable and we will long remember our time with Giulia. (Not sure we would have found her home so easily in the dark, but in the morning the walk through the district was fascinating.)

This was a great experience. The host was extremely friendly, spoke great English and guided us the whole way. It was a lot of fun and we really recommend it.

Anthea was an absolute gem! She was incredibly friendly and was a great teacher! The recipes were very easy to follow and the food was AMAZING! I cannot recommend this experience enough. Worth every single penny. If you are in Venice this is a must do. Thank you for helping my boyfriend and I make some unforgettable memories!

It was a wonderful experience learning how to make different Italian foods and being able to share them with a local Venetian.

Our host Nadine was very friendly easy to converse with. Lovely welcome with snacks and water. I felt confident when I left that I would be able to recreate the wonderful that we prepared with her help. To experience our Italian visit with such a unique opportunity is something I recommend for anyone traveling to this beautiful place. The booking process was easy and the directions and details came quickly and we’re easy to follow. If you travel to Italy and especially Venice please seek out Nadine or a host to make your travel experience one you will never forget. Thank you for making our trip unforgettable!!!

Barbara was lovely and relaxed, showed us lots of different way of doing filled pasta. Would recommend

Patrizia was an awesome chef and Daniela was such a good host! They made it a really good experience Venetian style! Would definitely recommend. You will not be disappointed! Thanks for a wonderful time yall!

The pasta and tiramisu cooking class was simply magical. Carlotta was an amazing host and teacher. When our granddaughter was asked what her favourite part of her Italy trip was, she quickly responded, "The cooking class with Carlotta." This speaks to how extraordinary the experience was. The communication to get to Carlotta's house was excellent, and from the first moment we met her in the square, we knew it would be amazing. Carlotta's stories of her grandmother, who taught her how to cook, were so interesting, and her obvious love of and knowledge about cooking made the experience wonderful. It was a magical way to spend a few hours in Venezia. I would highly recommend this to anyone, and, if possible, I would recommend that they seek out Carlotta as a master teacher.

My husband and I loved our Cesarine cooking experience in Venice with Barbara Grande! Learning to make traditional pasta dishes and the BEST Tiramisu with Barbara’s guidance was a highlight of our trip. Spending the evening in her home and preparing a great meal was fun and definitely memorable. Grazie Barbara!

Barbara was awesome. Food was excellent. Felt like I really learned something from her. Claudio had great background music. Best cooking experience

We were unable to even attended due to known bus and boat strikes - really wish host would have made us aware of this issue and lack of transport

We had a tremendous experience. Carlotta was hospitable and accommodating. The food experience was informative and fun. Most of all, the food was delicious. The home was beautiful and clean. We highly recommend her services. She was a great host!

Greatly enjoyed. Informative. What I wanted. Explained all the processes. Gave a challenge to repeat the food at home.

Our "lesson" on Italian cooking was so much fun! A special afternoon with special women! We were in Patrizia's home and Daniela Callegari was our amazing instructor. We loved every minute of our visit, and the time flew by. Our lunch was fresh hand-made pasta, and the tiramisu we made was delicious! We enjoyed our meal outside on the terrace at the top of Patrizia's beautiful home!

Matilde is the best part of Venice! If I could give Matilde 10 stars, I would! Matilde is amazingly funny, talented and educated. This experience was the one we looked forward to and it was even better than we expected. Not only did we have fun, but we learned so much. And the food!! The food was amazing. So fresh and clearly prepared with love and passion. Please, please, please…book with Matilde in her beautiful home with her beautiful family. Matilde’s soul is as gorgeous as her food. I promise!

We had a fabulous time learning how to make pasta in a home in Venice. The chef was knowledgeable and then turned our pasta into a fabulous lunch that we all enjoyed.

This is the best experience I’ve ever had on vacation. Barbara was the absolute best and made us feel right at home. We danced we cooked & ate we laughed and now we’re ready to come back and see Barbara again. I even recommended her to a couple we met while on vacation and they booked the very next day. She is a true joy and sweetheart! You won’t regret it.

Barbara was lovely and she kindly opened up her beautiful home to us. She was flexible in what we made that day. She is an established cook and very knowledgeable. We learnt how to make pasta from scratch and tiramisu, and we got to eat what we made for lunch and take the remaining dessert home. The only two things I'd say is that there wasn't that much hands on work. It wasn't like you had your own work station and you did it while learning how to make it. It was more so, 'watch me make it' type of scenario. Also, the pasta recipe and technique was not given to us. This may seen unnecessary, but when you're away for a whole month and this was at the start of your trip, there is a chance you forget by the time you get home.

This in home cooking class was a truly memorable experience. Our “Nonna” (Rosa) was as vivacious and welcoming as one can be. She treated everyone like family and was in no hurry to make anyone leave. My daughter and I look forward to taking what we learned home and making pasta and tiramisu for our family. Highly recommend!!

Amazing evening in Barbara’s intimate Italian kitchen! She thoughtfully taught us how to make eggplant and ricotta ravioli, risotto with zucchini and saffron, and tiramisu. We enjoyed Prosecco and wine she shared with us. We will truly never forget this evening and Barbara’s warm hospitality !

I can’t say enough good things about this experience. I purchased a three hour cooking class with Daniela with my girlfriend and we had a wonderful time. Daniela was incredibly responsive with finding a time that could accommodate us, and she included a translator even though her English was pretty good. We spoke about our personal experiences with cooking and she was very passionate about the meal we were preparing (Fettuccine pasta, vegetarian pizza pie & the best I have ever had Tiramisu) and at no point was it uncomfortable or awkward. She even taught us knife skills along the way to go along with several tips to improve our overall cooking abilities. The three hours were spent with a great balance between instruction, hands on learning, eating a delicious meal, and having a great conversation. Between Daniela engaging personality and artful, patient instruction, it’s hard to identify the best part of the experience, but we couldn’t have walked away more satisfied with the food or the instructor. (Daniela, if you’re reading this, thank you for everything!!)

Kids and family had a great time. Our host was very helpful and patient with us as we got a bit lost on the way there. Daughter loved the tiramisu.

The pasta private class was the highlight of my Italy vacation. This experience, should be a bucket list of things to do if you have not already!

We had a wonderful evening with Daniela - we learned a lot, had a delicious dinner and interesting and funny conversation. An amazing experience!
