The historic "Fera o Luni" market is located in Charles Albert Square and is famous for the rumors with which vendors attract customers reminiscent of Arab souks. Among the stalls we will find fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and cheese. At the market we will buy fresh ingredients to prepare lunch while cooling off at one of the stalls drinking lemon seltzer or fruit syrup. When the visit is over, we will move home where we will knead fresh pasta topped with the ingredients purchased at the market. Lunch will include an appetizer, a first course, a second course and a typical dessert accompanied by a good Sicilian wine.

The experience was just amazing. I felt like at home. I finally know how to make an amazing pasta and literally The best, fluffy tiramisu. I am grateful for that great evening and I recommend it to literally anyone who wants to experience the real, authentic italian atmosphere. Big thank you from the bottom of my heart and greetings to Marilù and Enzo.

Marilù
Cesarina from 2022Location: Catania    Languages: Italian, English, French
I 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.
