Hi from Patrizia!
Patrizia lives in a beautiful and timeless place. An enchanted city, which attracts millions of tourists every year and is known for its beauty all over the world. Above all, it is a land filled with art and culture, even from a gastronomic point of view.Of course, we're talking about Venice, the city of a thousand canals. Our Cesarina welcomes us to the area of Saint Zaccaria, near the church of the same name, a magnificent renaissance building dating back to the 15th century. The main tourist attractions (piazza San Marco, la Basilica, il ponte dei Sospiri) are just a few hundred meters away and Patrizia’s home is also a great starting point for exploring vicoli del Castello, a less well known - but equally fascinating - area of Venice.
My specialities
- Sarde in Saor (fried fresh sardine fillets marinated in softly cooked white onions, usually with vinegar, raisins and pine nuts.)
- Spring risotto (peas, carrots and celery)
- Gilthead bream with cherry tomatoes

- You will be able to learn how to cook from a real Venetian, in a real Venetian home, with real Venetian culture and history. Are you kidding me? It's a no brainer. This was the most comfortable, fun, and engaging experience I've had in Venice. I came back with my heart full. Full with laughs, memories, and pasta.
- We were paired with a Venetian couple in their home and an translator tagged along to help with the language barrier. This was the highlight of my time in Venice. Irene was communicative and served as the liaison between the family and myself. The meal was wonderful and they accommodated allergies if one was issue. The host was so kind, funny and loved sharing their culture with us! I would highly recommend to all visiting Venice.
- We had the best time cooking with Patricia. She welcomed us into her home and we made bruschetta and pasta and fish, meat and dessert. It was a once in a lifetime experience and one we’ll never forget.
- Highly reccomandable: unique and excellent culinary experience, we simply loved everything. We were welcomed in the house of Patrizia with wine and a tour the beautiful house. We had the chance to cook together some amazing local food, connect & share our personal experiences and above all have a good time.
- This experience with our Cesarina Patrizia was far beyond what we expected. The Cesarina and her husband graciously welcomed us into their home which was one of the most spectacular Venetian homes I have ever seen. They spoke fairly good English but still had a translator who was very friendly and fun. We cooked a whole fresh fish (typical Venetian dish), risotto, and bruschetta and had plenty of wine. We got to eat on their patio which overlooked the tops of most of the homes and we could even see San Marco's tower! It was so much fun we didn't want to leave! This was by far one of the best things we did on our trip of Italy!
