About this tour
Join Lorenzo at his Cannaregio home for an evening of three-course Venetian cooking built around ingredients he's picked that morning from Rialto Market. You'll eat what his family has cooked for generations—mostly seafood, prepared with the respect it deserves—while sipping regional wines and hearing stories of growing up in the city's quieter quarters. Three hours of eating well and talking properly with someone who knows Venice from the inside.

What to expect
You'll arrive at Lorenzo's flat in the residential Cannaregio district and settle around his table. He moves between conversation and the kitchen, preparing each course from ingredients he selected that morning. Expect simple, honest cooking—the kind that tastes better because someone's grandmother made it the same way decades ago. Wine flows naturally. The rhythm is unhurried. You're not paying for theatre; you're paying for an actual meal in an actual home, cooked by someone who's worked professional kitchens but chooses to cook this way because he loves it.
