After a tour of the colourful stalls at the local market, with tastings of typical Sicilian specialities, I will welcome you to my home, just a short walk away, and immerse you in the aromas and flavours of Catania’s culinary traditions.
Together we will prepare a main course and a dessert, and I will reveal their stories and secrets to you. After an aperitif with Etna wine and local produce, we will enjoy the dishes we have prepared together (on the terrace, weather permitting). A journey into the heart of Sicilian culture and cuisine!

- It was a wonderful evening. A high-quality cooking workshop in a superb atmosphere. Renata is very friendly, has plenty of great tips, and manages the evening perfectly. We loved the time we spent with her on this occasion. I recommend it 100%
- We had the most amazing cooking class with Renata! It ended up being just the two of us making the experience feel so personal and special. Renata was so lovely and taught us how to make fresh pasta and tiramisu from scratch. Everything tasted incredible all thanks to her! We also enjoyed some delicious starters and wine along the way before finishing the night with our homemade tiramisu. The main pasta was to die for! Renata was so welcoming, patient and fun to learn from. It was such a lovely, authentic experience and easily one of the highlights of our trip. We honestly couldn’t recommend her or the class any more highly. Thank you Renata! ❤️🍝🍷
- SUPER experience, great food, lovely company, and great knowledge from Renata. Highly recommended!
- Renata was very nice, her home felt very comfortable and the ingredients as well as the food we prepared were just amazing! Big recommendation!
- Please look no further than this true authentic Sicilian cooking experience right in Renata’s cucinotta! We had the honor of meeting Renata, feeling so welcomed inside her home and kitchen with coffee, water, and a tour of her gorgeous terrace and rooftop with a view of Mt. Etna. We had a cooking class with two different pasta (tagliatelle with Sicilian pesto and ricotta lemon filled ravioli) and then of course a traditional tiramisu. Renata is so lovely, caring, and shared her hospitality with all of her heart. It was the first time we made pasta and tiramisu from scratch, and the best part is her teaching methods and skills to help us create the dishes. Towards the end, she set up an entire table of Italian tapas, wine, sparkling water, and served us the meal we prepared. She inspired us to create these dishes at home and printed out the recipes for us to take back to our own kitchen. We highly, highly, highly recommend this experience with Renata, she was so warm and inviting and we had great conversation the entire time. We will recommend her to any of our friends and family visiting Catania!

Where
Renata
Cesarina from 2026Location: Catania (CT) Languages: Italian and EnglishMy name is Renata and my love for cooking comes from a long family tradition that I have always carried forward with pride and passion. I run a bistrot-pizzeria in the city center, where I take care of organization and menu creation, always aiming to combine flavor, authenticity, and creativity. I enjoy meeting new people and sharing with them what I love most: cooking as a moment of connection and togetherness. That is why I have also chosen to open the doors of my home, just a few steps from the market, a lively place full of inspiration. Here I love welcoming my guests to cook together, have fun among aromas and authentic flavors, and then enjoy the traditional dishes of my homeland in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
