Cooking class: learn how to cook Italian recipes
Private Experience
Your experience
- Local cold cuts and cheeses with homemade jams
- Pasta alla Norma (traditional Sicilian pasta dish of sautéed eggplant tossed with tomato sauce and ricotta)
- Sicilian Granita
In the city of Messina it is a must to taste a typical fresh and summer sweet meal, famous all over the world.
We are talking about the Messina granita, which comes in different flavors, (coffee, strawberry, lemon, peach, pistachio, etc.) often served with whipped cream and accompanied by a leavened pastry called brioche con il "tuppo." All this makes for a unique taste experience! If you are my guest and decide to experience this tasting, I am sure you will not regret it.
We will prepare together the typical Messina granita with brioche and I will reveal the original recipe so you can make it at home with your loved ones.

- I took this cooking demo with Rossella in her home and it was the highlight of my trip. She was so kind and welcoming. I met her husband and his mom as well. We started to cook together a simple but delicious lunch with fresh cherry tomatoes and garlic and fresh basil. And then of course fresh pasta. Then she showed me an antiposto dish that I’ve never seen or tasted which I can’t wait to share with my family. See pics. And finished off the meal with her homemade cannoli with the creamiest ricotta filling I’ve ever had. What a wonderful experience it was. Thank you so much for making my dreams come true.
- Highly recommend this family and experience!
- 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
