I cannot recommend this delve into Ventian cooking highly enough. From start to finish everything was so well prepared. Fabio's hands on teaching style was relaxed and fun. He has taken the mystrey out of making things I would not have attempted before, like gnocchi. Agnise worked so hard all day to make sure everything we needed was there from ingredients to clean bowls and utensils. The food we cooked was delicious and cannot wait to prepare for family and friends. It was a lovely atmosphere as the eight of us sat down to share the food. I will definitely come back to try different dishes as Fabio changes the menu according to the seasons.
Congratulations to you both on a perfect day!
I had an amazing time at The Venetian Kitchen. The class was fun, hands-on, and really well organised. Fabio explained everything clearly and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. The ingredients were high quality, the dishes were delicious, and I came away with tips and recipes I can actually use at home. A fantastic experience — highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your wonderful words, Loukas! We’re so happy you enjoyed your time with us, and it means a lot to know the recipes and tips will find their way into your own kitchen. Let us know how they turn out — we’d love to see your pictures! We hope to welcome you back at another seasonal table soon!
A fun, wholesome class with the yummiest food! We picked up lots of useful cooking tips and enjoyed great stories about Venice. Fabio and Agnes are a dream team - you could tell every detail was carefully thought out. Thanks for taking such good care of us :) Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Lili, this is such a lovely review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the class, the food, and the stories of Venice. It means a lot to us that the details we put into creating the experience came through - that’s exactly what we hope for. We loved having you with us and are so glad you left with tips, memories, and a taste of Venetian tradition. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back to our table again!
A small group of Venice enthusiasts gathered at the Venetian Kitchen venue near Brixton Windmill to learn how to make cicchetti. It was such an enjoyable experience - the room was beautifully decorated by Agnes, setting a lovely Venetian style theme for the event, and Fabio was a wonderful host and instructor. Everything was clearly very well thought out and prepared and the morning was relaxed and great fun - I think we were all surprised at how professional-looking our efforts turned out! And the cicchetti, accompanied by a well-earned Spritz, certainly tasted absolutely delicious! Thank you!

Thank you so much, Susan - we’re really touched by your lovely review! It was a pleasure to welcome you to the Venetian Kitchen (and Brixton Windmill) and share some of the recipes from our home with such a warm and enthusiastic group. We’re so glad you enjoyed them, and that you also enjoyed the setting and the atmosphere - we put a lot of care into creating that Venetian feel, so it means a lot to hear it came through (was especially touched by your comment!). And seeing everyone’s creations come together so beautifully (and deliciously!) was a real joy. We hope to see you again soon for more Venetian flavours and fun!
What a fantastic way to spend a few hours. Fabio and Agnes were incredibly generous, great teachers, and made the whole thing feel super comfortable and fun. The recipes are absolutely top notch. Delicious, and easy to learn and replicate. Beautiful setting as well at the Brixton windmill. 10/10.

Thank you so much for this wonderful 10/10 review Shahid! It was a true pleasure to have you join us for the class, and your energy in cooking is contagious!
We are so glad we could make the experience feel comfortable and fun for you, and your kind words about us as teachers mean the world. It’s also fantastic to hear that you loved the recipes and found them so delicious and easy to recreate.
Last but not least, indeed Brixton Windmill is such a beautiful setting (we strongly believe in their mission of bringing communities together, which makes it the perfect place for our classes), and we're so happy you enjoyed your time there. We hope you have fun making the dishes again at home and hopefully see you soon at another class! 😊

Amazing day spent at the Venetian Kitchen with Fabio and Agnes. A beautiful spot for the class, we cooked some delicious dishes that will be easy enough to recreate at home. Fabio's passion for the food and culture of Venice was infectious. The set-up was relaxed and a small group meant that there was plenty of support in the cooking and made for a really pleasant day. I would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone and look forward to eating these dishes again. Thank you!

What a wonderful review Mel - thank you so much for your kind words! And likewise, it was a true pleasure to have you in our kitchen, so much fun cooking with you!
We're so happy you had a relaxing and enjoyable day with us. Sharing our passion for Venetian food is about more than just cooking; it's about sharing a piece of our culture and history. We hope you left feeling a little more connected to Venice and the Veneto region. 😊
Also, it means a lot to know that you found the dishes easy to recreate and that you plan on making them again - we can't wait to see pictures!
We hope to see you back again soon!

This class was really good. Fabio and Agnes were so welcoming and warm and are fantastic hosts.
It wasn't just about cooking, but also learning why and how theses recopies came about. The history behind them. I have a hearing impairment, and this was taken into consideration at all times.
The food was wonderful, so fresh, authentic and tasty! The venue is in a lovely spot in a park, light and roomy.
It was a nice experience to sit down and eat the dishes we had created with everyone present at the workshop, an opportunity to socialise and meet new people.
Fabio and Agnes kindly allowed my sister and I to amend our booking due to a change in our circumstances. I'm so pleased they did, as we had such a great time.
I would defiantly recommend this class.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the class and the food. Your recommendation means a lot - and we'd love to cook with you again!
I attended the Venetian cookery day yesterday and enjoyed every minute. Fabio and Agnes were great hosts and put me at ease straight away - cooking isn't necessarily my strong point! We had a fabulous day creating lovely food. Timings were perfect and everything was provided, including a beautifully arranged table where we ate our meal. Can't praise them enough so thank you Fabio and Agnes - I will be back. Jenny

The Venetian Kitchen team exceeded all expectations when hosting my teams work Christmas party. The people were great and the whole cooking class, challenges, food and drink that they put on for us was exceptional. A great evening and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend!!

Hi Bella and thanks for your kind words, we are really humbled by your review and very happy to have made your event an enjoyable one!! Well done with the cicchetti and gnocchi making!! 😊😊😊
This was a very enjoyable experience. Fabio and Agnes were exceptional hosts, as well giving us interesting facts about the history and background of the Venetian food/culture. Fabio helped us make some delightful dishes that I will definitely take on board. The decor of the place was well put together, which made us feel even more relaxed and comfortable. I would highly recommend it!

Hello Nishani, wow thank you for your words! We are so happy you had a lovely time and that you enjoyed the class, food and setup. It was such a pleasure to get to know you and I hope to have you again around at one of the classes. Take care! :-)
We had a private class for 4 people, and it was amazing from start to finish. Fabio and Agnese’s hospitality was brilliant from start to finish! They were so friendly and made us feel at home instantly. And then the cooking experience itself ran like clockwork, the food we made was delicious and they made sure to cater to our dietary needs by requesting details weeks in advance. Can’t fault the experience and worth every penny, highly recommend!

Hello Jan and thank you so much for your great review! We knew it was a special day for you guys and we have done our best to make sure you had a great time and had some lovely memories (and recipes) to take home with you at the end of the day! All the best wishes for your future celebrations!!
Such an amazing class! Fabio is an excellent host and teacher. He had many useful tips for us (even the most seasoned cooks can use some tips) and I loved the extra tips about Venice and what the locals do differently. Highly enjoyable class if just the right size and perfect amount of breaks and work in between. Agnes’ behind-the-scenes magic kept the class running in perfect time and so smoothly - with every detail taken care of for us all. Highly recommend this lovely couple’s classes in such a unique venue!

Hi Rebecca, thank you so much for your lovely words! We are thrilled to read you had a great time and you enjoyed the class! It was a pleasure to meet you both and cook together some Venetian food, you were absolutely great and I hope you will make some more risotto soon!!! Ci vediamo alla prossima!!!
We had a wonderful day with Fabio and Agnes talking about Venetian food and culture and making some delicious dishes. These aren't overly complicated things to make, so you aren't going to be challenged by lots of process, but they do take care and attention. You will certainly be able (and want) to recreate them at home. The cichetti were interesting, the asparagus risotto scrummy and the Zabaione sublime.
Organisation of the day is really in point, Fabio is wonderfully passionate, and Agnes keeps the whole show on the road brilliantly with quiet and dry humour.
Sign up. You'll find a whole different side to food from Italy.

Thank you for the lovely words Geoff! Seeing how much you and Nick love Venice and know about our hometown was really heartwarming and inspiring. Venice needs more people like you guys loving its history, cuisine and understanding its fragility.
It was a great class and it was a true pleasure to cook and share the day with you! I hope to see you soon!
