- Esperienza meravigliosa. Uova, farina, ospitalità e grande cuore contraddistinguono le serate che si passano insieme alla Cesarina Marilù e suo marito. Torneremo sicuramente, non solo per imparare nuovi trucchi di cucina ma soprattutto per riempire un altro pezzetto di cuore con l’amore che ci é stato trasmesso la prima volta. Con la promessa di ritrovarci e amore, Giulia e Federico, da Milano.
- A wonderful experience. We learned how to make 4 styles of ravioli. The recipes were easy to follow, and Marilù explained everything. Our Italian is not the best but we were able to understand everything. Thank you Marilù and Vincenzo for having in your home and sharing a wonderful evening!

Marilù
Cesarina from 2022Location: Catania Languages: Italian, English, French, SpanishI am Marilù, your Cesarina in Catania. I look forward to cooking together and letting you taste a variety of traditional dishes that I prepare with love. We will get our hands dirty and make fresh pasta together using fresh and genuine ingredients purchased directly at the open-air market in Catania. Guests will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in all stages of dish preparation. My specialties include egg ravioli and tagliatelle, busiate and cavatelli (Sicilian fresh pasta), scacce, scacciate, and focaccias. My standout dishes are eggplant Parmesan and Sicilian-style caponata. To end on a sweet note, we cannot miss tiramisu, a dessert loved by all, as well as traditional Sicilian sweets: lemon or melon ice and sesame nougat.
