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.

This experience was excellent and the highlight of our time in Italy! To be able to be in the lovely home of our hosts and make pasta with Rossella was amazing. We were blessed to have me Giuseppe and Rossella and will use all the tips she gave us to make wonderful pasta at home. The cannoli that Rosella made was the best I have ever had. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who visits Messina

Rossella and her husband were incredible hosts- they picked us up from our cruise terminal , graciously welcomed us into their home, and cooked us a delicious authentic Sicilian meal. We enjoyed our conversational time with them, and had a unique glimpse into their lives. We feel blessed to have met them and lucky to have had this experience .

We had a fabulous time learning to make pasta noodles and tiramisu with Rossella. She is a gracious hostess and a patient teacher. The tiramisu was the best we had ever had. We are thankful we scheduled this class when in port.
