I am Filippo and I'll have the pleasure of sharing this unique experience with you. We´ll start at 10:30am in Rialto Market talking about its history and choosing the best seasonal ingredients for the class before heading to my Cooking Atelier in a 16 century venetian house, 10 minutes walk from the market. We'll have a lovely time cooking together the authentic recipes of Venetian and Italian cuisine, sharing laughs and cookings tips while we taste a local wine in my kitchen. You'll learn the recipes to prepare and cook homemade pasta or gnocchi with a delicious sauce made from scratch. A traditional Venetian starter or second course based on fish, meat or vegetables and my recipe for Tiramisù, the most famous Venetian dessert in the world. There is also a lovely private courtyard where we can enjoy the meal on sunny days.
What's included?
3 Italian recipes to prepare together from scratch:
Homemade pasta or gnocchi handed down through generations with its delicious sauce that change according to the seasonality of the products available on the market
Starter or second course of meat, fish (from the Lagoon or the Adriatic sea) or vegetables (from the venetian gardens)
My original recipe of the famous Tiramisù
Welcome venetian aperitif (also non-alcoholic version)
Prosecco Doc Extra Dry, a local wine
A selection of soft drinks
Let’s start the day by meeting at the historic Rialto Market* where local people from around Venice still buy fresh produce every day. So get involved and feel the vibe. There are stalls selling fresh vegetables from the green gardens of Venice and spices from the Middle East. There is also a large Fish Market inside, the Pescheria** where the local fisherman brings fresh fish just after fishing in the local Laguna and the Adriatic Sea.
* Rialto Market is closed on national holidays. ** The Fish Market is closed on mondays so we’ll focus more on meat and vegetables.

Ciao!
I’m Filippo, a Venetian chef with a real love for cooking. From a young age I was fascinated watching my parents and grandparents cook traditional Italian recipes. This inspired me to make the decision to train to the Venetian cooking school and after obtaining my diploma I moved to Paris, where I expanded my knowledge of classical French techniques and the secrets of haute cuisine.
________
At the end of my Parisian adventure, I spent two years working as a chef in an authentic French restaurant in Manchester, England, before returning to Venice, ready for a new challenge in one of the most renowned restaurants on the lagoon, located next to the famous islands of Burano and Murano.
________
My journey has led me to offer you an authentic Venetian culinary experience. I look forward to meeting you in one of my cooking classes where I can share my enthusiasm and passion for this profession with you.
