A tasty but light variant are the fried pizzas: salted with tuma (a Sicilian cheese that is also used for closed pizzas) and olives and if you want fresh onions. The sweet version has the same dough, but inside it has a heart of processed ricotta, like the ricotta in Sicilian cannoli. Plus you will have the opportunity to taste aperitifs accompanied by a typical prosecco from Etna. Then if you have a sweet tooth, we will prepare a mascarpone and yogurt cream, flavored with passito wine, and accompanied by the ancient 'ciciulena' cookies, sesame seeds. Tradition, however, recommends ending the menu with honey rice crispelle, to whose dough the zest of lemons and oranges is added! The working of the dough is strictly by hand, sleeve lifts and on apron.

- A perfect experience for hands on learning with a local who cares about sharing her passion for cooking! It was a delight to spend hours with Cinzia sharing our love for Sicilian food and culture. She went out of her way to make sure I had what I needed to be able to do the same back at home. Grazie!!
- Had a great time with Cinzia Abate and her family. Made us feel like part of the family. The food was delicious as well. Thank you for the great time
- We’ve had an amazing experience. It was so lovely and really felt as we were visiting a family member. The food was delicious. Cinzia was super friendly and a wonderful host.
- Cinzia was a lovely and very welcoming host. She made sure we felt at home in her home. The cooking class was so relaxed and she explained it all in simple steps, that it was nearly impossible to go wrong. She also told us some funny personal stories and let us taste some sicilian specialities. We (3 friends) would absolutely recommend her as a hostess. We left her home with a warm feeling and especially with a full stomach.
- What an amazing and unique experience! Cinzia and Mauritzio were so lovely and welcoming. They prepared a wide variety of traditional Sicilian dishes and were very generous with the portion sizes as well as with the drinks. And best of all everything tasted sooo delicious :). We will keep this evening in our memories for sure and can absolutely recommend these two. Thanks again for the lovely evening.
