Rita Cestaro, a Venice-born adventurer and language enthusiast, now calls California home. Surrounded by the beauty and history of Venice during her childhood, Rita developed a deep love for travel, often accompanying her parents on journeys to various countries. These early experiences sparked her passion for languages and cultures.
Growing up in such a unique environment, she came to realize that no other city in the world is entirely built on water—a maze of islands connected by bridges, where residents either walk or use boats to navigate their daily lives.
Now a chef and entrepreneur based in Grass Valley, California, Rita moved to the United States with the mission of making Italian cuisine more accessible, affordable, and communal. She is also committed to helping tourists experience the authentic side of Venice, offering tips on local spots often overlooked by visitors.
Through her local brand, OneOfAKind, Rita teaches cooking classes and sells homemade treats at local markets.
