Our experience with Pina was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped into her home, she warmly welcomed us with a genuine smile and a contagious enthusiasm for Italian cuisine. Pina's passion for cooking shone through as she graciously shared her knowledge of traditional Italian dishes, patiently guiding us through each step with meticulous attention to detail. What truly stood out was Pina's dedication to ensuring we not only learned the recipes but also understood the cultural significance behind each dish. Her kitchen became a classroom of flavors and techniques, where every ingredient was a story waiting to be told. Beyond the cooking itself, Pina's hospitality was unparalleled. She went above and beyond to make us feel at home, offering insights into local traditions and recommending hidden gems in her beloved town. By the end of our session, we didn't just leave with full stomachs but with cherished memories and newfound skills. If you have the opportunity to learn from Pina, seize it without hesitation. Her warmth, expertise, and genuine love for sharing Italian culinary heritage make her a gem in the world of cooking experiences. Grazie mille, Pina, for an unforgettable day filled with laughter, learning, and the most delicious food we've ever tasted. We can't wait to recreate your recipes and share them with our friends and family.

A wonderful experience was had at Pina’s family home. From the moment we met we experienced such amazing warmth and kindness. Pina has a spectacular home with incredible views of Palermo, but the real delight was in her cooking. We were given an insight into proper home-made Italian cooking and had fun along the way. Pina, her husband and two of her sisters welcomed us for lunch afterwards to enjoy the fantastic food with local wine. It was an experience I would recommend to anyone visiting Palermo who wishes to enjoy authentic Italian food and hospitality.

imagine you crave the best Italian meal available in Palermo and you cook this meal yourself! only with Pina will you find yourself immersed in the true art of Italian cooking. Pina greets you warmly (as if you were family) and she has the most wonderful home and kitchen. She taught us about Italian food by sharing her expertise. In addition to learning how to make Tiramisu, and homemade pasta, Pina provides extras she made before our visit and which she shared with us. This was an amazing experience with a beautiful woman. We found our cooking lesson with Pina to be one of the highlights of our visit to Palermo. Book your own experience as you will not be disappointed. Thank you Pina for sharing your expertise and your love of Italian cooking.

We had a wonderful time with Pina making traditional pasta, eating delicious fried artichoke, and being welcomed into her home. Being invited into Pina’s home gave us the opportunity to get to know a little bit of Palermo and the way people live in the city. From the gorgeous view out the window to the kindness Pina showed we are leaving with new recipes, and a new friend. Thank you for opening your home to us Pina!

I spent a lovely morning cooking with Pina. She and her husband have a beautiful apartment in Palermo, I really felt like I was in Sicily. We made frittata, pasta busiate and sauce, and tiramisu. Pina served a fantastic artichoke pate and wine, of course, as we cooked. I’m embarrassed to admit that even though I am half Italian I had never made fresh pasta before. Pina taught me well because everything was delicious.
