Shared Experience
Your experience
- Traditional mix appetizers
- Fresh pasta
- Ricotta and spinach ravioli
- Tiramisu
Giovanni and his wife Roberta will welcome you tasting a glass of good wine and the local wonders, with a little talk among the cured meats and cheeses.
Talking about the journey of these dishes from side to side of Sicily, you will knead together with Giovanni the Maccheroni, handmade with the "umbrella stick" just as Aunt Amalia used to make them 80 years ago, and bring to life the Ravioli with a heart of fresh ricotta and spinach, or with fresh ricotta e sicilian orange. After some memories and laugh, you will be delighted by the typical Tiramisù, a classic recipe that you will carry with you in your hearts and homes.

- Fabulous cooking experience with Giovanni in his Palermo home - I highly recommend! What I loved most was the blend of traditional dishes with others that were unique to me. Lemon meatballs, homemade ravioli with orange and ricotta - oh my, such amazing flavors! Giovanni was instructive, engaging, flexible with menu and very knowledgeable and skilled about cooking techniques and magically blending flavors. The eggplant Parmesan was the best I’ve ever had in my life!! (P.S. for the American’s reading: you don’t bread the eggplant!). Cin cin!
- This was definitely the best experience we had during our stay in Palermo. Giovanni and his wonderful family made us feel at home from the very beginning. The cooking class was amazing, the food was delicious, and the beautiful terrace made the whole evening even more special. We truly felt welcomed and had such a great time. We would absolutely recommend this experience to everyone!
- We had a wonderful experience and a very great time with Giovanni and Roberta. The cooking activity was very comprehensive and well-organized. Our hosts were very pleasant and helpful. It was absolutely delicious, thank you again!
- Perfect!
- This is one of the best memories of my experience in Italy. The chef is very kind and goes to great lengths to ensure it's a good experience. The family is very warm and welcoming, and I feel like I experienced something more than just a cooking experience. Of course, the homemade pasta, caponata, and other side dishes are also superb.

Where
Giovanni
Cesarina from 2023Location: Palermo (PA) Languages: Italian and EnglishAt Giovanni and Roberta's home, you'll find the typical dishes of Sicilian tradition. Giovanni grew up amidst the kitchen aromas of the family restaurant on the bay of Taormina. He inherited his father's recipes and brought them within the walls of his home in Palermo, creating new flavors with a sprinkle of memories. Fresh pasta takes the spotlight in his first courses: maccheroni alla norma, gnocchi with pistachio and shrimp, and ricotta and orange ravioli. Continuing with eggplant or swordfish parmigiana that pairs with lemon-infused meatballs or traditional Messina-style braciolettine. The meal concludes with the bittersweet taste of orange sorbet or the special almond blancmange.
