ACCADEMIA DI CUCINA ITALIANA
Hi, my name is Gioia Tiozzo, I was born and bred in Venice, Italy.
I am a psychologist specializing in nutrition and a professional cooking instructor with over 20 years of experience.
I teach people to cook typical Italian dishes, in Venice and online.
In 2022, I founded Accademia di Cucina Italiana, an e-learning platform that helps people learn how to cook from the comfort of their homes. I also organize cooking classes in Venice.
Hands-on cooking classes, at a Venetian lady’s home.

WHERE IN VENICE? IN THE CITY CENTER
I’m based in Venice, in the city center, Dorsoduro district.
I’m from a Venitian family and have spent my whole life here.
MY SIMPLE RULES FOR THE KITCHEN
Learning to cook is not something that can happen overnight.
It’s a question of practice. It may take time, but it’s always worth it.
1 – Always choose seasonal, local food
2 – Good food isn’t necessarily expensive
3 – Eating healthy, tasty food is more beneficial than a diet
4 – Don’t limit your creativity
5 – Don’t waste food
ACCADEMIA DI CUCINA ITALIANA IS ALSO ON YOUTUBE
Accademia di Cucina Italiana is also on YouTube, where you can find short videos and comprehensive recipes.
All videos will give you an idea about my online Italian cooking classes.

REVIEWS AROUND THE WEB
★★★★★ The Best Gioia’s cooking class was AMAZING! Definitely worth the time. She started off giving us some history about Italy, and then we starting cooking. She showed us each step, then let us practice. Recommend 100% if you want to know how to make good Italian dishes! Read more…
★★★★★ The most memorable part of an incredibly trip to Italy What an extraordinary experience! My 13-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter and I learned so much about cooking but also about Venice and Italian life in general from Gioia. She is quintessentially Venetian…we were calmer and more in the moment with her than we’ve been on the trip thus far. What a life lesson. Read more
★★★★★ It was a wonderful experience – a real hightlight Such fun and so informative! It’s a hands-on class, so you really learn what you are doing and will be confident to recreate the dishes at home. She also taught us about Venetian customs and traditions. Thanks, Gioia! Read more
★★★★★ Ann G. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with Gioia. Gioia is friendly and engaging, and we enjoyed our conversation. We also loved making and eating wonderful food with her. The class itself was very hands on and very educational. This was the best thing we did during our 4 day stay in Venice and we can’t wait to make the dishes we learned at home for our friends and family. Read more
★★★★★ Marina F. Do not miss the opportunity to spend time with Gioia shopping at the Rialto Market and then cooking in her kitchen. She brings Venetian history, culture and cooking to life. This is not just a technical cooking class but a true organic farm-to-table experience. Read more
★★★★★ Keisha Ross My husband and I went on our honeymoon for a cooking class with Gioia and it was an absolutely phenomenal time.
