Best part of my trip to Venice!
I was expecting this experience to be unique and special, and I was looking forward to it as a highlight of our trip. I could not have anticipated how far it would exceed my expectations. Valerio put us at ease instantly, guiding us as we chose our ingredients from the market, always considerate of our needs and interests, yet introducing us to new flavors (both literally and figuratively).
Making the meal together in his home felt natural and fun thanks to Valerio's authentic warmth and hospita...read more

A Highlight of My Venice Trip!!
While visiting Venice, I had the pleasure of booking a tour with Valerio for fish shopping at Rialto Market followed by home cooking in Murano. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary and truly authentic.
We began our day at Rialto Market, selecting fresh, local ingredients under Valerio's expert guidance. From there, we traveled to his lovely home in Murano, where he prepared a mouthwatering multi-course meal, perfectly paired with libations for each course. What made the experienc...read more

Dear Loriann,
thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful words. I’m truly touched by your description and thrilled that the experience left such a meaningful impression. Sharing my passion for Venetian life, food, and culture with curious and engaged guests like you is what makes this job so rewarding.

Wishing you many more beautiful journeys — and I hope Venice calls you back again soon!

Highlight of Our Trip to Venice
I really did not know what to expect when my wife signed me up for an Italian Cooking Class for our May 2024 visit to Venice, Italy. It seems that somehow I never inherited the “cooking gene” and this was my wife’s opportunity to fix that problem.
We were traveling with her sister and husband, their first visit to Venice. For about four hours, we were the students and our professor was master Italian cook, Valerio.
Valerio met us at 11:00h near the public market adjacent to Rialto Bridge. We ...read more

Fantastic Venetian birthday tour
We met Valerio in April 2022 on the tour "in the footsteps of Commissario Brunetti" and then immediately found out about other tours with Valerio! Now the time had finally come, I celebrated my 60th birthday with my girlfriend and my 3 sisters in Venice and on my special day we booked the tour "Fish shopping at the Rialto market and home preparation in Murano". It was simply GREAT!!!
After our interesting shopping tour at the fish market, we set off for Murano with super fresh fish, vegetables ...read more
