- What a wonderful experience! Rosa Maria was a great host with a hands on approach to home cooking. We loved everything about the experience and would highly recommend it. Thank you Rosa Maria for a great night!
- Our cooking class with Rosa Maria was the absolute highlight of our trip to Italy. From the moment we arrived, she and her husband welcomed us into their home with such warmth and kindness that we immediately felt like part of their family. The experience was more than just a cooking lesson—it was an immersion into Sicilian culture, tradition, and hospitality. Rosa Maria is a wonderful teacher—patient, engaging, and full of joy. She guided us step by step through making fresh pasta, sharing tips and family traditions along the way. We laughed, we learned, and we had so much fun working together in the kitchen. Sitting down afterward to enjoy the meal we created together was an unforgettable moment. The food was incredible—honestly the best we had in Palermo—and it tasted even better knowing we had made it ourselves. This experience gave us more than recipes; it gave us lasting memories and a new family tradition we’ll continue back home. We can’t wait to cook Rosa Maria’s pasta again and share the story of this day with our own loved ones. If you’re visiting Sicily and want to take a true piece of Italy home with you, don’t miss this. It’s an experience that will stay in your heart forever.
- Simply the highlight of our trip. Rosa Maria was a gracious and welcoming host and an excellent teacher. We learned so much in a short amount of time with Rosa Maria’s expertise and guidance. The end result was the best meal we have had in Italy. We will take what we learned home with us and enjoy future meals together with our families. This is an experience you will not forget! 100 stars!!
- Overall we had a great time and Rosa Maria has a beautiful home. Our class was short so it felt a bit rushed.
- We enjoyed our time, and appreciated being welcomed into Rosa’s home, and enjoyed meeting her family. Overall we had a positive experience, however it felt a bit rushed and lacked patient guidance.
