A Great Time Was Had By All!
We had a wonderful time, Rosa was amazing, food was delicious and prosecco was flowing! Highly recommend. Give yourself time to find her home. We went early, found the home then had a glass of wine sitting by the water at a nearby restaurant.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review and your high recommendation! Rosa was absolutely thrilled to host you and is so glad you loved the delicious food and flowing prosecco. Taking the time to locate the house early and relaxing by the water beforehand sounds like the perfect Venetian way to start your evening. It was a true pleasure having you in our kitchen!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review and your kind recommendation! Lorenzo was absolutely thrilled to host you and your husband for an afternoon of delicious food, great wine, and wonderful conversation. It was a true pleasure having you both in our Venetian home.

Lots of fun with Rosa!
We had the best time at Rosa’s cooking class! The food was delicious and Rosa was very generous with the wine. We enjoyed learning more about Venice and cooking, as well as just chatting with Rosa. Thank you for opening up your home Rosa! It felt like a true Italian family cooking experience. We also got to meet Rosa’s adorable dog which was the cherry on top.
Response from the operator: What a joy to read this! Rosa will be so happy to know that her cooking class felt like sharing a meal with family. From learning about Venetian life to cooking, chatting and enjoying her home, it sounds like you truly embraced the experience. And of course, her four-legged host deserves a special mention!

Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class: 3-Course Meal & Wine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class: 3-Course Meal & Wine cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class: 3-Course Meal & Wine take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.
Is Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class: 3-Course Meal & Wine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 402 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class: 3-Course Meal & Wine?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class: 3-Course Meal & Wine suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class: 3-Course Meal & Wine?
+
Around 141 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class: 3-Course Meal & Wine start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Venice?
+
On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with wine by Cooking Italy, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Tour of The Real Hidden Venice. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Venice?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class: 3-Course Meal & Wine?
+

Where is the meeting point for Authentic Venice Home Cooking Class: 3-Course Meal & Wine?
+
