    Hands down the best tour I did in Italy. Fillip I was so kind, funny and knowledgeable. I would absolutely redo this experience if I came back to Venice.

    Our trip to Venice started out miserable with canceled flights, airport mix ups, and delays. We almost missed the cooking class. Filippo was very helpful though in allowing us to meet up with the group latter so we could still attend. Which was amazing. I was in a very crappy mood with all that had happened with our trip to this point but once we started the class that quickly changed. Our kids had a great time and Filippo made us feel like we were cooking with family. it ended up being the perfect start to our vacation and made the rest of the trip more enjoyable. Highly Recommend!
    Just fantastic!

    This was so much more than we were expecting. Filippo was amazing, from the market place explaining the history, the food and the fish through to his welcoming cookery class…..it was easily one of our favourite moments in what has been a incredible trip. We really couldn’t recommend the experience more!
    Magnificent

    Fun, informative, hands-on cooking class.

    Our charming Chef welcomed us into his home after a tour of the fish & vegetable markets. He taught us how to make Tiramisu, fish, and made from scratch pasta. A truly fun and memorable experience. Highly recommend!
    Fabulous!!

    This experience was life-changing for our family! Seeing and learning the simplicity, beauty, freshness, and ease of Italian cooking. We were truly able to take these new skills home to try and incorporate into our everyday life. Our two boys ages 8 and 12 also thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were included/participated. Filippo is so lovely, professional, and a great teacher and host. The kitchen is also a beautiful setting and so is the garden where we enjoyed our meal and drinks. An amazing experience all around. Highly recommend!!

    This was one of the highlights of my tour with my granddaughter. Not only did we have a wonderful tour of the market but the chef gave clear & interesting explanations of the origins of the fish & food, how to evaluate for freshness & how to use different ingredients in cooking. . His kitchen & the garden are beautiful, right in the middle of the most beautiful part of Venice. The class was small enough (8 people, 3 were kids) so that each of us got individuals attention. My granddaughter is now begging for a pasta machine for Christmas & is in love with making Tiramasu. Felipe is a talented chef with an outgoing , easygoing personality. The end result of our experience was a fabulous pasta, fish & tiramisu lunch & my granddaughter ate every last scrap & she never, ever eats fish. Can’t wait to recreate this at home, he was gracious enough to send the recipes. Mary Paris
    Learning to cook like a local!
    MaryVeres, Apr 2024
    We had a wonderful experience with Felipe! His knowledge of the local food and markets gave us a great platform to learn. Friendly, funny and full of many local tips and insights. The meal was nice and slow to prepare as each of us had an opportunity to assist in the making! It was a small group of eight very friendly folks from all over the globe.
    Awesome tour! Great food and great company.

    Filipe was a fantastic host. The meal was the best thing we ate in Italy and the apartment was perfect for the experience.
    Great cooking experience
    Michael_C, Apr 2024
    This was very much worth it, the Chef was very friendly and made everyone feel welcome and gave a great hands on experience. One of the best parts is walking into his home and experiencing what that feels like. Well done.
    Excellent Cooking Experience!!

    Felipe, our chef, was amazing. He took us through the market and told us what to beware of not to buy in terms of tourist traps. He explained the cooking process step by step. We were a group of 9 total and everyone was able to participate as much as they wanted. Felipe had excellent recommendations for our time in Venice as well. He made the experience fun for everyone. It was the highlight of our trip to cook in a Venetian home with a chef and take the knowledge home to try our best to replicate!!
    A highlight of our trip

    We had so much fun! We highly recommend this cooking class and trip to the Rialto market. We were in a small group of 8, shopped at the market, helped prepare the meal, drank wine and enjoyed a lovely and fun morning and early afternoon. One of the best things we did in our entire week in Venice.
    Must-do activity in Venice!

    Our market tour and cooking class with Filippo was a true highlight of our entire trip to Italy! Filippo was extremely knowledgeable about everything in the market and gave us a “behind the scenes” perspective. The cooking class was in an intimate setting. Everyone in our party (four adults and two teenage boys) had a blast helping to create our delicious lunch. In addition to being an outstanding chef, Filippo was friendly, funny, and patient. I give this activity my highest recommendation.
    The Highlight of Our Trip

    We had a wonderful time during the market tour and cooking class. It was the highlight of our trip. We made homemade pasta and now we purchased a pasta maker machine so we can make our own. Fillipo was a wonderful host and the class was held at a quaint studio and courtyard in the heart of Venice.
    Super fun, unique experience
    Jeff_U, Mar 2024
    Got lucky and snagged a last minute spot…highly recommend! Filippo does a great job of helping you feel welcome in a place where most locals will otherwise make you feel unwelcome. Great food, recipes and beyond. Single cooking station but keeps the whole crew involved in the process, even the grumpy 14 yr old. 10/10 would repeat.
    I’d give this six stars if I could
    Anne_L, Mar 2024
    My husband and I did this experience without fully knowing what to expect. Chef Filippo was absolutely fantastic. As he walked us through the market, he asked about peoples preferences and adjusted the menu as needed. We had two little kids in our group and he was very attentive to their needs as well. After the market tour, we headed over to his kitchen where he walked us through cooking two entrées and a dessert. He also offered snacks and drinks. The whole experience was much more hands-on than we were originally thinking. we would honestly consider coming back to Venice just to take another class with him. were
    Great food!
    Patricia_O, Mar 2024
    Great experience. Shopped for fish and vegetables. Then went to a lovely kitchen to prepare a fabulous meal. Great wine new friends and great laughs. Highly recommended.
    Awesome Cooking Class
    Chris_H, Mar 2024
    The whole experience was incredible. Fillipo did a great job walking us through the market, explaining the ingredients and history of the area, and class itself was one of the best we’ve ever taken. Fillipo made the class very interactive and we had a lot of fun working through the recipes with the groups. Highly recommend.
    The highlight of our trip!
    Rebecca_A, Mar 2024
    I booked this class as a gift for my wifes birthday. Fillipo is a real showman and gave us 4 hours of knowledge and laughs. The market tour exceeded my expectations and we learned loads about the vinetian culture and food. We cooked a fabulous meal of oysters, pesto linguine and tirimusu as a group in his beautiful kitchen where we all took turns to do different parts of the recipe. We had breaks in his private courtyard with local wine, snacks and soft drinks and we were fortunate to have a really fun, great group of people who we got along with. As it was my wife's birthday, Fillipo provided a little surprise which was a great touch. If you are questioning this experience, book it! Fillipo really knows what he is doing and you will learn a lot about the heritage and culture of Venice! Thanks for having us!!
    Learn, drink, eat, and have fun

    Engaging, charming, and expert chef who managed to keep all participants involved and enjoying themselves. Fantastic foods and fun market tour.
    Highlight of our trip. Just superb.
    Galina_K, Feb 2024
    It felt like an afternoon at a great friend’s house. Bottomless Prosecco (and stories from Filipe about kitchen life) and superb food to round out the experience. On winter mondays it’s perhaps best to avoid the market visit and just book the cooking experience. On balance we had a fantastic time and made great memories folding ravioli, frothing egg whites and gorging on all the delicious dishes that resulted. Bravo Filipe!
