How to choose
The pasta and tiramisù class with fine wine is the most reviewed in Venice. To shop at the Rialto first, choose the market tour, cooking class and lunch. For a more personal class, the class at a local’s home is cooked in a Venetian kitchen.
Formats: pasta and tiramisù with wine, the best-seller; Rialto market tour plus cooking class and lunch; home cooking classes with a Venetian host; pasta and gelato near St Mark’s; classes with unlimited Prosecco.
What you learn: fresh egg pasta and bigoli, a seafood or squid-ink risotto, sarde in saor or baccalà mantecato on the market classes, and tiramisù, which the Veneto claims as its own.
Price and time: 55 to 95 dollars for a three-hour pasta class; 95 to 140 for the four-hour market-to-table format; 100 to 150 at a host’s home.
Market-to-table
The Venetian format worth paying for: meet the chef at the Rialto Pescheria at opening, choose the fish and the vegetables from the Erbaria, then cook a three-course Venetian lunch, typically a cicchetto starter, a seafood risotto or pasta and a dessert, and eat it with Prosecco. About four hours. It runs Tuesday to Saturday because the fish market does.
Pasta and tiramisù
The standard three-hour class, and in Venice it is unusually well run: egg dough by hand, two shapes, a sauce, a tiramisù assembled early, and wine or Prosecco throughout, in a kitchen near the Rialto or St Mark’s. The most-reviewed classes in the city sit here, at fair prices, and they are the right choice for a first class or for families.
At a Venetian’s home
Home classes cook the dishes Venetians actually eat, bigoli in salsa, sarde in saor, fegato alla veneziana, in a family kitchen with the host, for a slightly higher price and a much better story.
