    Our experience with Francesca was fabulous. She is warm, welcoming and easy to communicate with. She is an incredibly cook and everything was beyond delicious. We truly felt that we had an authentic Sicilian dinner experience. She was so sweet to pack up our leftovers and we had them for lunch the next day. The food was just as amazing! We highly recommend Francesca and will do this again when we return to Palermo.

    Francesca is a wonderful host and great teacher. My wife and I had an amazing time cooking and talking with her. She has a beautiful kitchen and a kind demeanor, we felt very relaxed and full by the end of the class. 10/10

    If you want to feel like you have a home away from home you must book with Francesca. You not only feel the love exuding from her but you taste it in her cooking too! I’ll never be able to eat regular food again. Nonna Francesca’s cooking is the only way to go! I’ll forever have this experience in my heart, mind, and on my taste buds of course

    Our experience with Francesca was our first experience in Palermo and it was wonderful. We felt very welcomed and had a wonderful meal and great conversation. I’d recommend this experience to anyone.

    This was an absolute highlight of our trip. Francesca was so welcoming and we made the best Ravioli, Fettuccine , and Tiramisu. Everything was perfect and we had the best time. I would absolutely recommend this.

    Cesarina from 2021Location: Palermo    Languages: Italian and English
    Francesca lives in Bagheria, the 'city of villas', a land kissed by the sun and the sea breeze. Our Cesarina brings Sicilian recipes to the table, rich in contrasts, where sweet is combined with salty, sweet and sour is used a lot and dried fruit is perfect on meat, fish and vegetables. "All this is the result of the cultures that have passed through our land. My cuisine is linked to the traditions of both my area and my family. I only use local products and I hope to be able to pass on to my guests all the passion and love that I put when I cook."
