- What an amazing day we had with Gina! She made us feel like family! We learned so much about making the traditional Sicilian breads including sfincione and Faccia di Vecchia and even made a bit of pasta! The whole day was absolutely perfect. We want to come back again and make cookies with Gina and her wonderful mother. This is a day we will remember forever!
- Cooking with Gina (and Maria) was a true Sicilian experience from start to finish. The instructions were clear & pizza turned out delicious! We left feeling like part of the wonderful family here in Cinisi. A truly awesome experience!
- Unforgettable Italian Cooking Experience! If you are looking for an authentic, hands-on culinary experience in Sicily, Luigina's home cooking class is absolute perfection. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family by her and her mother Maria. The atmosphere was incredibly warm and inviting, and learning to prepare traditional dishes step-by-step using fresh, local ingredients made all the difference. Luigina shared not just recipes, but the rich history, techniques, and love behind Italian home cooking. The highlight, of course, was sitting down to enjoy the delicious meal we prepared together—paired with wonderful conversation and great wine. Everything tasted incredible, and I’m leaving with unforgettable memories (and skills I can’t wait to show off back home). A absolute 10/10 experience—cannot recommend it enough!
- Gina was a wonderful teacher and everything turned out delicious! we had so much fun cooking and talking and eating. It was like learning to cook in your your Mamma or Nonnas kitchen. Gina was so sweet and authentic. Her husband stopped in to sample the food with us and he was delightful too. If you are ever in Sicily and you have any interest in cooking, take a class with Gina. You will not be disappointed!
- A unique experience. We laughed, learned, cooked and, above all, met an authentic Sicilian couple, in love with their land and their cuisine, who passed on the art of good cooking to us. It was a pleasure to share it with Gina and her attentive husband who took care of us and pampered us at every moment. If you are in the area, take the opportunity to dine with authentic products of unparalleled quality. THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANK YOU.

Cesarina from 2024Location: Cinisi (PA) Languages: Italian and EnglishMy cuisine originates from locally sourced, zero-kilometer raw materials, often grown in the family garden. Based on these products, which also distinguish Sicilian cuisine, I enjoy experimenting or simply offering typical dishes. I could describe it as genuine, simple, sustainable cuisine, which also relies on recipes passed down from my grandmother and is characterized by a good dose of passion for what I love most to do: cooking, precisely.
