This was so much better...
This was so much better than we expected! We loved having a hands on class with Alex learning how to make pasta from scratch. It was the best way to finish our 2-week Europe girls trip!

Best pasta class ever!!!
Absolutely wonderful! Alex was awesome.

Stay away!! Terrible customer service!!
We booked this October 4th cooking class at 9 pm on Saturday, October 3rd. Overnight one of our travel companions had a medical emergency and an emergency doctor had to be called by our hotel to attend to her. We called the provider of this class at 8 am in the morning of our 5 pm cooking class, less than 12 hours after booking and the manager refused to give us our $530 back. He said a cooking team was already set. We did not cancel because we changed our minds!! This was a medical emergency!! Yes, we saw the cancellation policy, that refunds are not given when a cancellation is less than 24 hours, but I feel exceptions can be made in a case like this!. They did supposedly give us a certificate for a future cooking class in Italy, but that could be years from now. Bottom line- we are out $530 and have a certificate ( which we have not received yet) for something we will most probably not redeem. I strongly suggest that this vendor be taken off your website!!

An exciting experience for all culinary fans of Italian food
An exciting experience for all culinary fans of Italian food. Nina, our instructor, was informative, kind and passionate about everything. It was so much fun making different pasta and Gelato. Definitely worth it.

Leaving Venice was Hard, but our Transportation Team made it Easy!
Our water taxi driver pulled up to the front door of our hotel in Venice. He then delivered us to our cab driver who took us to the Marco Polo Airport. It was seamless and the perfect way to travel when leaving Venice, Italy! We would certainly do it again!

Venice: Hands-On Pasta & Gelato Class with Wine by St Mark's: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Venice: Hands-On Pasta & Gelato Class with Wine by St Mark's cost?
+
Prices start at $102 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 Venice: Hands-On Pasta & Gelato Class with Wine by St Mark's take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Venice: Hands-On Pasta & Gelato Class with Wine by St Mark's worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 117 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Venice: Hands-On Pasta & Gelato Class with Wine by St Mark's?
+
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 Venice: Hands-On Pasta & Gelato Class with Wine by St Mark's suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Venice: Hands-On Pasta & Gelato Class with Wine by St Mark's?
+
Around 41 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Venice: Hands-On Pasta & Gelato Class with Wine by St Mark's 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.
