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.

- We booked a last minute cooking demonstration as our cruise ship was going to be visiting Messina and we did not have any plans. We were welcomed into Rossella’s home by herself and her family. We chatted, ate her great cooking, and enjoyed a day in the life of a local. So glad we got to experience this!
- Thank you so very much for going that extra mile. Literally! What an amazing experience. It went far beyond our expectations! You taught us so easily how to make delicious authentic pasta and made us feel very welcome in your home. What an absolute delight to have met you today and to experience the warmth and generosity of your friendly hospitality. We look forward to seeing you again and will recommend this wonderful experience to everyone we meet. Thank you so much!
- Excellent! Best linguine with clams ever, and her tiramisu is out of this world! Highly recommended!
- Rosella and her husband, Giuseppe were the most accommodating and gracious people. They came to pick us up at the cruise port when we were unable to get a taxi. We were welcomed into their home with prosecco. We had such a great time as Rosella taught us the art of pasta making. Then, she showed us how to prepare each type of pasta we made in a different way. Of course, we ate all the ravioli as we sat around their kitchen table. The fettuccine and spaghetti were also fantastic. Giuseppe sent us links for recipes. I can't wait to get home and practice my new skills.
- My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooking lesson with Rosella. We learned how to make fresh pasta and tiramisu. Everything tasted great. We'll be getting a pasta machine when we get back home.
