Your experience
Come discover the delicacies of the Strait of Messina, a city renowned for its swordfish fishing! Upon your arrival, you'll be served a chilled glass of Prosecco to sip on, accompanied by delicious smoked salmon crostini and delicate curls of butter. Following this, you'll savor a dish of spaghetti prepared with genuine Messinese swordfish, and as the main course, I'll serve succulent stuffed swordfish rolls filled with breadcrumbs, capers, and green olives.
The experience will conclude with the signature dessert of my city: ricotta cannoli. I'm confident that this will be an unforgettable experience!

- Rosella and her husband, Giuseppe were the most accommodating and gracious people. They came to pick us up at the cruise port when we were unable to get a taxi. We were welcomed into their home with prosecco. We had such a great time as Rosella taught us the art of pasta making. Then, she showed us how to prepare each type of pasta we made in a different way. Of course, we ate all the ravioli as we sat around their kitchen table. The fettuccine and spaghetti were also fantastic. Giuseppe sent us links for recipes. I can't wait to get home and practice my new skills.
- My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooking lesson with Rosella. We learned how to make fresh pasta and tiramisu. Everything tasted great. We'll be getting a pasta machine when we get back home.
- We had a wonderful afternoon with Rossella and her family! Great food and great company! We thoroughly enjoyed our time going to the market and spending time learning about family recipes and culture. It was a highlight of our trip!
- This was a really cool experience and the hospitality of Rossella and her family were outstanding. It was so memorable being able to spend time with a local Sicilian family and learn about their food and culture. We were running about 15 min late as we had trouble getting a taxi from the port and the family were very accomodating with this. They catered very well to gluten free (I have coeliac disease), preparing everything separately to other dishes. We were a bit surprised that for our cooking demo experience they were using packet pasta and the meals were almost complete with just plating and the boiling of pasta needing to be done. We weren’t sure if it would have been different if they weren’t trying to cater for gluten free as well and we also understand that 2.5 hours isn’t a lot of time to allow for a full cooking demo & lunch. It really was a lovely Italian lunch with a wonderful local family who treat you like good friends! A great experience in Messina!!
- We had a very enjoyable cooking demonstration with Rossella. The instruction and the food was excellent.Rosella explained everything we needed to do, demonstrated it and then had us do it ourselves. Her family was very welcoming and such great hosts. We dined on the meal altogether when it was complete. Highly recommend for a truly memorable experience and great recipes to bring home.
