Description
Join a cooking class in a real neighborhood bacaro and learn how to make Venice's famous bar snacks. Mix your own spritz and finish with a classic tiramisu.
Meet your host and learn how the bacaro ritual works: what to order, when, and why nobody sits down. Then, put on your apron and get cooking. Whip salt cod with olive oil into silky baccalà mantecato and spoon it onto grilled polenta.
Layer sardines with slow-cooked onions, pine nuts, and raisins for sarde in saor, the sweet-and-sour recipe Venetian sailors carried to sea. Roll polpette and top crostini with seasonal Venetian produce.
Next, learn the proportions, the right glass, and the olive garnish for a spritz, and discover the red bitter Venetians prefer to the one the rest of the world knows. Then, finish with tiramisu, layering savoiardi, coffee, and mascarpone cream the way it is made across the Veneto.
The class ends as a bacaro round should: standing at the counter with your plates and your glass, swapping stories with your group. Leave with the recipes, the confidence to order like a local, and a few favorite bacari to try the next evening.
