Campo Cesare Battisti già della Bella Vienna

The host Lorenzo is an authentic Venetian born with the passion for cooking transmitted by his mother. He spent a lifetime working in the kitchen of various restaurants and now he has the pleasure of introducing his culinary culture to his curious guests. Every day he goes to the central market of #Rialto to choose the best fish and the freshest vegetables and then offer them to his guests. The cuisine he follows is the one of his family and therefore traditional: the pasta must be homemade! You will get the chance to experience a unique and authentic cooking class with a local host, hand selected by Eatwith, the world’s largest community for authentic culinary experiences. Eatwith experiences are top-rated on TripAdvisor and are loved by thousands of travelers from around the world!
