Your experience
By joining this food experience you will have the opportunity to really enjoy the Sicilian cuisine at a deeper and more personal level while sitting at my table dining with my family in my home in the heart of Palermo's historic center just a stone's throw away from the Opera House, the Teatro Massimo.
I will welcome you with a sicilian happy-hour, then we will end a dish altogether and I will show you for example how to shape a typical fresh pasta or how to prepare a typical appetizer such as cacio all'argentiera, a Palermo city traditional way of cooking cheese. I will also entertain you by telling you stories and anecdotes of dishes I will propose. We will taste together a three-course menu, all homemade, which will be served with excellent local wine and warm Sicilian hospitality.

- We had such a fantastic time at this cooking class with Alice and Francesco! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so welcome in their beautiful home. The whole experience was warm, relaxed, and so much fun – full of laughter, great conversation, and of course incredible food. Alice is a wonderful teacher, making everything easy to follow while still feeling authentic and special. We absolutely loved learning how to make fresh pasta and the delicious almond parfait – such a treat! It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Sicily. It truly felt like spending an evening with friends rather than just a class. We left with amazing memories (and delicious recipes to try at home!). I would highly, highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting – it’s an absolute must!
- This booking was truly one of the most memorable events of our trip. First, we learned so much from Alice as we shopped the vegetable and fish market. But the best part was the way both she and Francesco welcomed us into their home. We prepared the meal, ate, talked family traditions and laughed for more than the scheduled four hours. By the time we were leaving we felt like family. I highly recommend booking with Cesarina Alice!!
- We had an awesome morning with Alice and Francesco making traditional Arancina. They were very helpful and were great company, we learnt a lot about Sicily and the different variations of Arancina. Definitely recommend!
- It was a thoroughly wonderful evening at your place in a private, warm atmosphere. You are fantastic hosts who took the time to cook with us and share your passion. We took away an incredible amount of impressions and inspiration for our next Italian evening. From the bottom of our hearts, a huge thank you – you were simply fantastic!
- Alice and Francesco were so great, welcoming and cheerful. Had the best experience!

Where
Alice
Cesarina from 2022Location: Palermo (PA) Languages: English, Italian, Spanish, FrenchI was passionate about cooking and food since I was a child, accomplices grandmother who loved to cook and the whole family who loves to eat well. I therefore decided to pursue a university career in the field of gastronomy. I have faced a multidisciplinary and holistic path that has treated the world of food at 360 o'clock. I love cooking for my family and for others, starting from the choice of recipes and the selection of ingredients. I like to experiment and I'm particularly passionate about pastry and leavened foods. I do research on ancient cookbooks and asking around, especially older ladies, their family recipes. Sicily, like all Italy, has an invaluable gastronomic heritage, whose recipes and preparations vary from house to house, not only between cities and provinces. This gives the palate the opportunity to enjoy the same traditional dishes with different ingredients, techniques and stories.
