Cooking lesson: learn how to cook Italian recipes with a local Cesarina
Private Experience
Your experience
You can celebrate a significant event with a typical culinary experience from my city. My home will be your home for the entire experience, and I will reveal to you the secrets of Sicilian cooking, particularly on how to cook 'swordfish a ghiotta' (a typical fish from our seas, cooked in tomato sauce). We will begin with a characteristic aperitif with local cheeses and meats, accompanied by a DOCG Prosecco, followed by a first course of fresh pasta topped with swordfish sauce. This will be followed by a second course, the 'swordfish a ghiotta'. A true delight, unique in its kind! We will conclude the experience with a dessert of your choice between Sicilian cannoli, almond pastries, or tiramisu. The meal will be accompanied by a typical DOCG wine from the territory, red or white.

- This was a great option in Messina. Rosella took great care of us and helped us every step of the way. The experience was first class and the food we made was amazing. They gave us the recipes and we can’t wait to try this at home. Thanks for everything Rosella! I highly recommend.
- We had the absolute best time with Rosella, Giuseppe and Nonna❤️. They were very warm and welcoming of us into their home. The authentic Sicilian cuisine was cooked to perfection and we never had a better meal... this is coming from a Sicilian. We have been to many cooking/ food experiences but this was the very best. We wish we could rate more than 5 stars! We will remember this experience always and cannot wait to come back!
- This experience was a 10/10. If you are looking to indulge in the culture in Messina THIS is the experience for you. Words cannot describe how amazing this experience was. The food was amazing, the conversation was amazing and the process was amazing. I did this with my 15 year old daughter and she will be talking about this for forever
- Guiseppe and his beautiful wife took us to two wonderful eateries in Sicily where we had the best arancini and cannoli. We then finished off the tour in Cathedral Square where we saw the midday show of the bell tower and fireworks. We can’t recommend this tour enough.
- Absolutely Amazing!!
