What to expect

Experience the heart of Venetian cuisine with a unique bigoli cooking class in a warm, authentic Venetian home. Bigoli, a thick, hearty pasta made from whole wheat or buckwheat, is a true local specialty with a history dating back to the 15th century. Unlike other pasta, it’s traditionally extruded through a bigolaro press, giving it its distinctive texture and bite.
Guided by your host, you’ll knead the dough, use the torchio bigolaro to shape your pasta, and learn tips to make it perfectly every time. Once your bigoli are ready, you’ll prepare a simple yet flavorful sauce to enhance their natural taste.
Finally, sit down and taste your handmade pasta, paired with a glass of fine local Venetian wine. This hands-on experience is rare in Venice and perfect for travelers who want a genuine culinary adventure, off the beaten path.
