Your experience
- Cavatelli with Seasonal Toppings
- Sicilian agnolotti
- Tiramisù
I love to prepare traditional Sicilian dishes and look forward to welcoming you to my charming 1913 villa in Messina, with a breathtaking view of the Strait. You will be welcomed with a unique gastronomic experience. We will begin with a welcome drink, offering varieties of samples, including fried anchovies, cheeses and more. Afterwards, we will immerse ourselves in the preparation of homemade pasta, opting for cavatelli and agnolotti with seasonally selected toppings, which may include ricotta or the classic sugo alla norma. Finally, we will conclude with the Italian dessert par excellence, tiramisu."

- Daniela was absolutely wonderful! We made two pasta dishes and a dessert, all of which were some of the best food we have had on our Italy vacation. She is very kind, speaks good English, and is very knowledgeable about Messina culture. Daniela‘s home is beautiful with stunning panaoramic views of the city. I would recommend this experience to anyone.
- 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!

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.
