Cooking lesson: learn how to cook Italian recipes with a local Cesarina
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 experience was excellent and the highlight of our time in Italy! To be able to be in the lovely home of our hosts and make pasta with Rossella was amazing. We were blessed to have me Giuseppe and Rossella and will use all the tips she gave us to make wonderful pasta at home. The cannoli that Rosella made was the best I have ever had. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who visits Messina
- Rossella and her husband were incredible hosts- they picked us up from our cruise terminal , graciously welcomed us into their home, and cooked us a delicious authentic Sicilian meal. We enjoyed our conversational time with them, and had a unique glimpse into their lives. We feel blessed to have met them and lucky to have had this experience .
- We had a fabulous time learning to make pasta noodles and tiramisu with Rossella. She is a gracious hostess and a patient teacher. The tiramisu was the best we had ever had. We are thankful we scheduled this class when in port.
- Our time with Rossella and her family was incredible! They made us feel so welcome and we got to meet their family and we felt right at home. Learning to make the pasta and tiramisu was easy and fun. The food was amazing. I would highly recommend this experience- you won’t be disappointed!
- We thoroughly enjoyed our Pasta & Tiramisu cooking class Rossella was a fantastic teacher, she and her family were very hospitable. Was a wonderful experience. Highly recommended
