5.00Take Rosa’s class. She is the sweetest person and the entire class was fun and it felt like a little family. Her dog, Pasha, is to die for!! Everything about the experience was great. There were 3 people in our group with dairy, nut, and gluten allergies and she accommodated them soooo well. If we come back to Venice we will definitely be coming back here to see Rosa & Pasha (: She also has a restaurant! Try it out!!

5.00This class takes place in Rosa’s home. We were welcomed like family. We had our toddler granddaughter and she “helped” until she finally fell asleep and missed the best part, the meal. This was a fun, educational family experience. Recommend

5.00The whole experience was amazing! Rosa was very welcoming and was extremely accommodating for our 1 year old. The food preparation was very interactive and instructive. We each prepared multiple types of pasta, a vegetable side dish, and dessert. Then we cooked and ate the food we prepared as a group. Everything was outstanding and Rosa is an excellent host!
This is one of those experience you will be talking about for a lifetime!

5.00Rosa was very accommodating.She met us from the water taxi and brought us to her home. She had great communication from start to finish, which is very comforting when you are in a new country. We made five different types of pasta, homemade marinara sauce, roasted veggies and fruit ( that's right, fruit!) It is called Rosa's Rainbow was very very special. The Tiramisu was divine. Everybody helps with every course learning so much about making pasta and the ingredients that we use, very hands on. Of course there was plenty of Prosecco that was flowing throughout the evening. She is a most wonderful hostess. It would be an experience that you would remember for a lifetime! Do not hesitate to sign up for Rosa's cooking class.... it's a life changer!
