Overview

I'm a sailor but I learned to cook from my mother and grandma, we own an old and traditional restaurant and my father is a winemaker. I travel a lot with merchant ships all around the world but I never get tired of getting to know new people! I love to share my passion for food and my city. Many old dishes you cannot find anymore in the restaurant you can find in my home with a big selection! I'm open at your request (allergies or food you wanna try it).I m specialized in sea food, let's check what offer the beutiful Rialto market.But also if you don t like fish, will be a trip inside at the foods of Veneto region! From the high mountains to the sea. Welcome to my home, we will become friends!

What To Expect

We can discover the fresh market and buy delicious seafood, but not only, as Veneto region is rich in ingredients and my cuisine is rich in imagination. When we reach home we can cook old family recipes and travel through flavors, from the sea to the mountains we will discover many dishes. I m a story teller, stories from the sea, from ancient Venice, and from an old true Italian family. Welcome to my home: it will be a precious opportunity to discover Venice and local food from inside an ancient Venetian house. Let´s cook, have fun together... and eat well!
