Wow! What an experience. Mariella picked us up at the Messina port (heads up - the experience getting out of the port gates was harrowing with people yelling and waving flyers in your face) but fear not, Mariella communicated via WhatsApp with her photo and we found her in no time. She uses "conversation mode" in Google translate and it worked great! She shared about her town on the way to her lovely home with STUNNING views of the sea. We made (and ate) so many dishes we could not eat the rest of the day. We had delicious aperitif and wine and "floated" back to our ship in a joyous haze, sent off lovingly by Mariella.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Mariella. She met us in the square, then we went for a caffè in a nearby local shop. We then went to her home/apartment where we began our lesson. Through google translate, we were able to converse. Mariella spent the next few hours teaching us how to make homemade pasta, ravioli, meatballs, and other local dishes, all which were amazing. My husband and I really enjoyed our experience. The only thing that would have made this experience over the top would have been to have 1-2 other couples involved.

The most amazing experience! Mariella welcomed us into her home and instantly treated us like family. We learned to make several courses, all while she gave us instruction, explanation, and history. Lovely woman, and the most lovely day

What a unique way to spend some time in Messina! Mariela was amazing! We learned so much in the 3 hours we spent with her and made more food than we could eat! Can’t wait to get home and try to make it all on our own😎. We made a friend in Mariela and look forward to keeping in touch with her!

My cuisine is linked to tradition with a touch of poetic license for some foods, which are too strong for me. Born and raised in Messina, I actually learned the Messina tradition when I grew up, because my parents were originally from Gioiosa Marea and Piraino, provinces of Messina but with several differences in methodology. I try to combine these diversities in a taste that is, I would say, pleasant. I like to know and above all I would like these traditions not to disappear.
