- After 2 weeks in Italy, this experience still rates at the top of everything we did. Daniela was an amazing host and we are so appreciative of everything she taught us!
- Marie Daniela, Thank you so much for welcoming us into your home and creating such a wonderful experience! Making three delicious pastas and dessert was not only fun but also incredibly delicious. Your warmth, hospitality, and passion for food made the afternoon truly special. I enjoyed every moment and appreciate the effort you put into making us feel at home. This was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Grazie mille!
- Daniela was a wonderful, charming host. It’s like visiting a favorite cousin, you are enjoying the experience from the moment of arrival. Her home and the stunning views of Messina do more that complement the cooking experience. She is a very learned instructor and gracious host.
- I had a great time with Daniela. Not only does she have a beautiful appartement, the cooking class was very good. We made the best pasta, and a lovely dessert. After the class we had a great meal. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have a great time, learn how to make pasta and eat the best food in Sicily! Thank you for the great experience!
- I honestly had high hopes for a great experience and they were met and superseded my already high expectations. Maria Daniella was incredibly friendly, competent, delicious food etc etc etc. The home was super beautiful very accessible and clean. The views were spectacular. So not only was it delicious food that we got to make mostly ourselves but we ate on her covered balcony and over looked Sicily. The entire family was so pleased and well worth it.

But, to really get to know this city it is also a must to taste its typical dishes. So, you must therefore know the flavors and aromas typical of this part of Sicily and, the best place is at the home of our Cesarina.
