An Unforgettable Gastronomic Experience in Venice" - "A Sailor's Night", Wonderful Local Food
This night was not like any other night in Venice. It was absolutely amazing! We arrived at the apartment a little late, but this was absolutely no problem. We felt very welcome, and the party started immediately. We were served amazing food and drinks. Massimo and the girls took good care of us during the whole evening. Not only was the food fantastic, but also meeting people from other countries and sharing stories with them was very fun and interesting. Dining here is absolutely recommend

A fun time with a great group of people. - This evening was one of the highlights of our travels. We joined with 5 others for a feast prepared in the sailor's apartment, who is a merchant marine. The food and wine were excellent. The stories and the conversation with all were memorable It's s an evening we will never forget. Highly recommended.

A different experience of Venice - We have been several times to Venice, but this time we wanted to search for an experience slightly outside the tourist track. This evening we were served delicious home made Italian food in a private flat, together with other travellers (a family from Australia), we got stories and entertainment beyond expected. We really enjoyed it, and Massimo (the sailor) is an excellent cook and host.
