Francesca is the best! Not only did we learn to make pasta ( two kind) sauces and Tiramisu (to die for!) but we had it all as she shared her beautiful home and the lunch we just made with some unbelievable Sicilian vino banco! Yum! Francesca, Gracie!

Learning to cook new recipes where my ancestors were from by a fun, loving, and knowledgeable cook is a memory I will cherish. By the end of our time together, Pina was family.

Giovanni and Roberta were the most delightful hosts! We came directly from the airport and had a delay which was graciously accommodated. They welcomed us into their home luggage and all! We enjoyed delicious wine and appertivos on
the rooftop patio. Growing up in the family restaurant, Giovanni shared stories while teaching us to make gnocchi, macaroni, and cannoli. For our group it was just the right amount of hands on experience but I’m sure Giovanni was working diligently in the kitchen because our meal was 5 star! This was one of the most authentic experiences we had in Sicily with real people, real fellowship, and real food.

My fiancée and I had such a wonderful time at Giula’s house! I was so excited to be making tiramisu as it is our favorite dessert and it did not disappoint- it was delicious and our host was gracious in sharing the recipe with me. Having her guidance in kneading and rolling the pasta dough was invaluable and the ravioli and pasta were so good! Maria Giula accommodated our dietary needs and we enjoyed the snacks and wine as we chatted and waited for the pasta dough to rest. Strongly recommend this experience if you are considering, it was a fun activity and nice change from all the eating out.

We had the most wonderful experience with Gianpiero. We were late getting off the cruise ship as the ship departed late and he contacted us via What's App and told us it was no problem. The food was so fun to make and Gianpiero was a great host. The food was delicious. Definitely one of our favorite experiences durin the cruise.

Learning how to make pasta and using different ingredients in the dishes was a lot of fun. The teachers were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. And the whole experience was finished off with a six course meal in a beautiful home setting.

My husband and I had a wonderful time with Pina! We really got to see a slice of life in Palermo and learned how to cook some classics in the process. Pina was so nice and encouraging; I really felt like we made a connection 💕. Our best experience in our 3 night stay!
