Aperitivo with a tasting of local specialties and a live cooking demonstration of a menu recipe
Private Experience
Your experience
- Seasonal appetizer
- Homemade fresh pasta with seasonal sauce/pesto
- Seasonal dessert
By joining this food experience you will have the opportunity to really enjoy the Sicilian cuisine at a deeper and more personal level while sitting at my table dining with my family in my home in the heart of Palermo's historic center just a stone's throw away from the Opera House, the Teatro Massimo.
I will welcome you with a sicilian happy-hour, then we will end a dish altogether and I will show you for example how to shape a typical fresh pasta or how to prepare a typical appetizer such as cacio all'argentiera, a Palermo city traditional way of cooking cheese. I will also entertain you by telling you stories and anecdotes of dishes I will propose. We will taste together a three-course menu, all homemade, which will be served with excellent local wine and warm Sicilian hospitality.

- Alice was a very welcomming and knowledable host. I enjoyed the course and the compagny. Highly recommended
- Alice was a perfect host. The experience was amazing. We learned a lot of things related cooking. Alice knew a lot of tips and tricks. Also she informed us about the reasons that why the recipe is in certain ways. Besides cooking, we enjoyed a lot the conversations we had. She is a very warm person, as if we knew each other for many years. I definitely recommend her as a Sicilian cook and as a host.
- Amazing experience! Alice and Francesco were wonderful hosts and took us through the pasta-making process seamlessly. They taught us several different methods and were wonderful teachers. I can’t wait to go back to the states and try out this new skill set they have taught me! Not only was the class great, but Alice and Francesco were lovely people and so welcoming. We can’t say enough good things. Book with them immediately!
- Alice and Francesco were the most lovely and personable hosts one could ask for. They had a lovely home and shared it with our small group while teaching us how to make the most delicious pastas! Making an authentic meal while in Palermo was a bucket list item for me, and this was the perfect way to achieve it. The food was delicious, the conversation was wonderful, and the hosts were very knowledgeable, but were also just an absolutely charming couple. If you’re looking to learn how to make authentic Sicilian dishes, you must try this. Thank you, Alice and Francesco, for sharing your home and hearts with us!
- What a truly special morning cooking with Alice. I enjoyed our chats around family, history, and culture while preparing some wonderful recipes. Our meal was a highlight of my time in Palermo.

Alice
Cesarina from 2022Location: Palermo Languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French"I was passionate about cooking and food since I was a child, accomplices grandmother who loved to cook and the whole family who loves to eat well. I therefore decided to pursue a university career in the field of gastronomy. I have faced a multidisciplinary and holistic path that has treated the world of food at 360 o'clock. I love cooking for my family and for others, starting from the choice of recipes and the selection of ingredients. I like to experiment and I'm particularly passionate about pastry and leavened foods. I do research on ancient cookbooks and asking around, especially older ladies, their family recipes. Sicily, like all Italy, has an invaluable gastronomic heritage, whose recipes and preparations vary from house to house, not only between cities and provinces. This gives the palate the opportunity to enjoy the same traditional dishes with different ingredients, techniques and stories."
