: We had an absolutely amazing experience at this cooking class! We learned how to make fresh pasta and tiramisu from scratch, and everything turned out delicious. The entire experience was fun, hands-on, and so well organized. What made it even more special was the wonderful family who hosted us. Everyone helped make us feel welcome, shared their knowledge and traditions, and created such a warm, friendly atmosphere. It truly felt like an authentic Sicilian experience rather than just a cooking class. If you’re looking to enjoy incredible food, learn traditional recipes, and experience genuine Sicilian hospitality, we couldn’t recommend this enough. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we’ll definitely remember it for years to come! Thank you for accepting us into your beautiful home!
: We had a lovely and personal experience with Stefania. Together with her husband, Franco, they were very hospitable and eager to introduce us to making tiramisu, ravioli, and another pasta dish. Their daughter was also present and translated the Italian into English for us. After making the pasta, Franco and Stefania went to the kitchen to prepare the food, and we were served very well. We were given all kinds of appetizers and red wine. It was fully equipped with every convenience! The ravioli and pasta were also prepared very well! We really got a glimpse into traditional Sicilian cuisine. We highly recommend this experience to others!
: We had a wonderful experience with Stefania! Her daughter, Georgia, was lovely and acted as an interpreter. Her husband, Franco, was very welcoming and took care of things in the kitchen including the cleaning up. The fact that it was a family affair made it extra special and allowed Stefania to completely focus on us. Out of the four of us, three are not cooks at all but it didn't matter. Stefania guided every step with kindness and patience and made sure we had a successful cooking class. The pasta we made was exactly what you see in the pictures but the pictures don't do it justice! The ravioli with a butter and sage sauce was the favorite for all of us and was outstanding!!! Possibly the best we ever had! The prosecco and appetizers were all local products and mostly hand made by Stefania, which was much appreciated. These were presented to us after we prepared the tiramisu and pasta and when they were cooking the pasta for us, so it was very nice to have while waiting for the main meal. It says in the description that you will be welcomed by these and perhaps that needs to be adjusted in the write up. However, for us it was perfect timing to have them after our "work" was done. It is worth noting that they have air conditioning in their home and it was very comfortable. We were quite relieved by this since it was an extremely hot day in Messina. I highly recommend this experience to everyone.
: This cooking class is phenomenal omg it was soooooo good and so much I was so full once I left I didn’t eat for the rest of the day. I’m trying to learn how to cook fresh Italian food and Stefania answered all my questions. Her husband came to pick us up and drop us off from the cruise port. Their home was so Italian authentic and simply gorgeous I felt right at home cooking! The class was very intimate and this was just an amazing! Gergiao her daughter was equally brilliant and a ball of fun!!! She even sent me the receipts upon request!!! BOOK this class you won’t regret it trust me!!!
: Today was incredible. Welcomed by the husband and daughter who offered to pick us up and drive us back to our cruise ship after. Learning how to make pasta by Stephania was such a memorable experience we felt invited and welcomed, and could taste the love in every meal. We made spaghetti, fettuccine and spinach ravioli. The family, then cooked three separate dishes and presented it to us with love. It was the best pasta we have ever had. Afterwards we were treated with homemade tiramisu. The whole meal was complemented by a delicious Italian wine, and the day could not have been any more perfect. If only everyone could experience this, the world would be a better place having tasted the love with which this family cooks with. I dream of getting to do this again.
