- I had a delicious dinner with Alessandra, she cooks sicilian traditional dishes the way a nonna would, with love and passion. Highly recommended for a true local experience in the heart of Palermo.
- The experience with Alessandra was memorable. From the start, she welcomed us into her home, which immediately felt like our own, and this contributed to the organization of the perfect surprise for my husband. Alessandra, as well as being a perfect 'host', demonstrated a deep connection to her Sicilian roots, which led her to embark on this journey. Listening to anecdotes and advice on preparing the menu and discovering how attentive she is to detail was a truly wonderful gift for both of us. Happy to have met her, we can't wait to return and experience it again.
- Alessandra is a wonderful hostess, attentive and welcoming; an experience to be repeated and one I recommend to anyone with a passion for cooking and a curiosity for discovering traditional dishes.
- Truly an experience to recommend, full of emotions and excellent flavors of tradition. Compliments to Alessandra, an excellent hostess and thorough in sharing and explaining the recipes.
- I had the pleasure of visiting Alessandra Savona, a true Cesarina, and I can say it was an incredible experience. As a Pugliese, I thought I knew traditional cuisine well, but thanks to her I discovered and rediscovered the authentic flavors of Sicilian cuisine, both savory and sweet. Her passion, talent, and attention to detail are reflected in every dish she prepares. Alessandra is a fantastic person, capable of transmitting a love for traditional cuisine through her genuine recipes and welcoming manner. I highly recommend anyone to meet her and let themselves be won over by the intense and authentic flavors of Sicily, which only a Cesarina like her can express so well.
