- Sono andata a cena della signora Giampatrizia assieme ad una mia amica e ci siamo trovate veramente bene, un po’ come in famiglia. Appena siamo arrivate abbiamo notato la cura nel dettaglio della tavola con al centro una composizione floreale. Nonostante le nostre scarse doti culinarie, sotto l’attenta e paziente supervisione della nostra Cesarina, abbiamo mangiato tantissimi piatti molto buoni della tradizione siciliana, dall’antipasto al dolce. La serata è stata assolutamente di nostro gradimento e i padroni di casa si sono dimostrate persone disponibili anche nel consigliarci modi per arricchire il nostro itinerario durante il viaggio. Risate e chiacchiere non sono mancate, esperienza assolutamente da provare, consigliassimo!!!!
- An unforgettable culinary experience in Sicily! We were lucky to enjoy a very private cooking class – just my partner and me. The kitchen and table were set up with incredible attention to detail. From the very beginning, we felt right at home thanks to the warm welcome from Giampatrizia and her husband. Later, their daughter and son-in-law joined us, and everyone made us feel like part of the family. We prepared classic Sicilian dishes together: pasta with sardines, caponata, delicious cheese-stuffed meat rolls, and for dessert, a pudding with orange zest. Everything was made with fresh, seasonal ingredients – including olive oil from their own olive tree, which made the experience even more authentic. Their garden was so beautiful, and the atmosphere was just perfect. By the end of the class, we were not only more than full but also incredibly happy. It was an unforgettable insight into Sicilian culture and cuisine, and already recommended to friends who will come to Catania and other people we met on our trip!
- Fantastic host!!! What a wonderful dinner we had, Pasta alla Norma was a hit and so was the dessert. Mrs. Giampatrizia was very accommodating (we were late) and flexible. She received us with welcome arms. Her family is fantastic, treated us like if we were part of their family also. We will definitely be returning and will get there on time this time 😂!

Cesarina from 2023Location: Pedara Languages: Italian and EnglishMy kitchen embodies the rich Sicilian tradition passed down through generations, adapted to cater to various dietary needs, including gluten-free cuisine. With no limit on guests, I've hosted gatherings in my garden with abundant food, good music, and carefully curated setups. The Christmas dinners for my banking team were always well-received, with a focus on table arrangements and dish presentation. Beyond Sicilian tradition, I enjoy experimenting with international dishes. My hobbies include crafting jams from my orchard's fruits, making homemade liqueurs, and various preserves."
