: Mariella was kind and an excellent chef. She shared the history of her family and community through the food she served. We helped make pasta which was a fun experience for us. We are buying a pasta maker as soon as we get home. She offered to take us to her country home which was a 20 minute drive but we were worried about getting back on the ship. I wish we would have taken her up on the offer because it sounded lovely and we would have been back in plenty of time for the cruise departure. Next time!
: Absolutely amazing! Mariela welcomed us into her home and taught us so much about local food and culture. Highly recommend this experience.
: Great morning making pasta and learning more in a true authentic Italian style. We had a great time prepping, cooking, eating and sharing knowledge back and forth.
: Our cooking class with Mariella was everything we hoped for and more! Our family of 6 laughed and had a great time and with the help of Google translate, we cooked pasta, focaccia, and other Sicilian dishes! We were in Messina for a cruise ship port, and booked the cooking class. Mariella and her sister in law picked us up and took us to her home, with a gorgeous view overlooking the Messina straight. This was different than a typical tourist day and we highly recommend! Mariella is the sweetest and we felt truly welcomed into her home and visiting a family member!
: Mariella was so kind and welcoming. Her home is beautiful. She picked us up near the port and drove us to her home where she had all of the ingredients we needed. She showed us how to make a couple different appetizers and two types of pastas from scratch. The food was delicious and we learned so much! She did not speak English but we used lots of google translate and had great conversations. We would recommend this to anyone! It was a great way to learn more about Italian culture and cuisine.

My cuisine is linked to tradition with a touch of poetic license for some foods, which are too strong for me. Born and raised in Messina, I actually learned the Messina tradition when I grew up, because my parents were originally from Gioiosa Marea and Piraino, provinces of Messina but with several differences in methodology. I try to combine these diversities in a taste that is, I would say, pleasant. I like to know and above all I would like these traditions not to disappear.
