Itinerary

Meet your chef at Taverna San Trovaso

Your tour begins at a traditional restaurant in the quiet Dorsoduro district, an area famous for its local artisan history. You will meet your expert chef and settle into the cozy kitchen to begin your hands-on introduction to Venetian gastronomy.

You will learn the precise art of mixing flour and eggs to create the perfect pasta dough from scratch. Your chef demonstrates how to roll and cut long ribbons of tagliatelle and fill savory ravioli while sharing stories of regional Italian culinary traditions.

Assemble an authentic tiramisu

Next, you focus on Italy’s iconic coffee-flavored dessert by layering espresso-soaked biscuits with rich mascarpone cream. You will master the specific whisking techniques that give this 19th-century sweet its signature light and airy texture before it sets for your meal.
