Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Cavatelli
  • Agnolotti (homemade pasta)
  • Tiramisu

I love preparing traditional Sicilian dishes and look forward to welcoming you to my charming 1913 villa in Messina, with breathtaking views of the Strait. You will be treated to a unique gastronomic experience. We will start with a welcome aperitif, offering a variety of tastings, including fried anchovies, cheeses, and more. Next, we will immerse ourselves in the preparation of homemade pasta, opting for cavatelli and agnolotti with seasonally selected sauces, which may include ricotta or the classic sugo alla norma. Finally, we will conclude with the Italian dessert par excellence, tiramisu.

We loved our time with Daniela! She is warm and welcoming. It was such a joy to get to know her, see her beautiful home, and learn cooking from her. I really wanted to get to know the people in the cities we visited beyond the tours. Daniela gave us that experience. It was everything I hoped for.

Our cooking class with Maria Daniella was the highlight of our time in Sicily. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We enjoyed local wine, learned how to make fresh pasta from scratch, and shared a delicious meal together. It was a fun, authentic way to experience the culture and hospitality of Sicily. Highly recommended!

Maria Daniela

Cesarina from 2019Location: Messina (ME)    Languages: Italian, English, Spanish
In Messina, there are so many things to see: churches, palaces, fortifications, fountains, and monuments. But to truly get to know this city, you also need to taste its traditional dishes. That’s why I believe the best way to experience the real Messina is through its flavors and aromas — and the best place to do that is in my home. I’m Maria Daniela, and I love the sea. From the garden of my 1913 villa, you can look out and enjoy the spectacular view of the Strait of Messina. With me, you can learn how to make maccheroncini al ferro — traditional fresh pasta seasoned with a rich sauce — and Messina-style veal cutlets, a dish I’ve been preparing since I was a child, when I helped my mother and sisters in the kitchen, filling and rolling them by hand.
