What to expect

Massimo is a rare breed in Italy. Taking pride in his position as the latest, and perhaps sadly, the last in a long line of sailors in his family. With that said, Massimo is here to host you for an evening eating the traditional food a proud Venetian sailor would call dinner, featuring many delights from the deep.

Discover the authentic flavors of the lagoon with a feast featuring the treasures of the sea: taste an ancient sardine recipe that has been prepared in this region for centuries, savor tender cuttlefish, grilled prawns, mackerel, and a selection of freshly caught fish prepared with Massimo’s passion and knowledge.

This is not only a seafood dinner., this is a journey through the flavors of the Veneto region — from the mountains, where truffles and artisanal cheeses define the landscape, to the lagoon and the sea, where generations of fishermen have brought the freshest seafood to the table.

Join Massimo for an evening filled with history, tradition, and the authentic taste of Venetian life.
