Private Experience
Your experience

    You can celebrate a significant event with a typical culinary experience from my city. My home will be your home for the entire experience, and I will reveal to you the secrets of Sicilian cooking, particularly on how to cook 'swordfish a ghiotta' (a typical fish from our seas, cooked in tomato sauce). We will begin with a characteristic aperitif with local cheeses and meats, accompanied by a DOCG Prosecco, followed by a first course of fresh pasta topped with swordfish sauce. This will be followed by a second course, the 'swordfish a ghiotta'. A true delight, unique in its kind! We will conclude the experience with a dessert of your choice between Sicilian cannoli, almond pastries, or tiramisu. The meal will be accompanied by a typical DOCG wine from the territory, red or white.

    This was a great experience for two families with a total of 11 people. We didn’t know what to expect going into a personal home, but we loved every minute! We learned how to make some fresh pasta and enjoyed gobbling up our hard work! Highly recommend!

    Unforgettable day! Spending a day, cooking with Rosella and her family in their home was an incredible experience and privilege! This was the highlight of our vacation. This is a must-do!! ❤️🇮🇹

    Rosella and Giuseppe made our cooking experience a 5 star event. We had so much fun learning to make raviolis, fettuccine and tiramisu. They delighted our group with sparkling wine and appetizers in addition to our cooking experience. This was a highlight of our 18 day trip through Italy and Croatia. Forever grateful, Stephanie and Bryan

    Great hosts! Fresh food and such a fun and hands on experience! It was easy to get to via the provided transportation and would do again. Beautiful view and would do again!

    Pasta making class  - May 2025

    We booked a last minute cooking demonstration as our cruise ship was going to be visiting Messina and we did not have any plans. We were welcomed into Rossella’s home by herself and her family. We chatted, ate her great cooking, and enjoyed a day in the life of a local. So glad we got to experience this!
