Your experience
I am Rosa Maria, your Cesarina in Palermo. I will guide you to discover the scents and flavors of Palermo and Sicily. One lesson I learned from my family is never to give up on fried food. In Palermo, fried food is a true delight, and in my menu, I offer it as an appetizer: from "panelle" to "arancinette," vegetables in batter, and eggplant cutlets.
Afterwards, we will dive into making "cavatelli," a typical Sicilian fresh pasta, which I will dress with a delicious sausage and fresh or aged ricotta ragù. To conclude, I will let you savor a lemon cream, a dessert that will cleanse the palate from all the intense flavors we have enjoyed. I look forward to welcoming you for an authentic culinary experience with me in Palermo.

- We enjoyed our time, and appreciated being welcomed into Rosa’s home, and enjoyed meeting her family. Overall we had a positive experience, however it felt a bit rushed and lacked patient guidance.
- L’esperienza con Rosa Maria è stata a dir poco unica! Siamo stati accolti fin da subito da un caloroso sorriso, che ci ha accompagnati durante tutta la mattinata, partendo dalla visita del mercato, proseguendo con la preparazione dei piatti e concludendo con il pranzo. Dopo la visita iniziale, ci siamo dilettati a preparare un pranzo palermitano, guidati in modo impeccabile e delicato da Rosa Maria, che ci ha svelato tantissimi dettagli trucchi utili, in modo da poter ricreare i piatti anche a casa nostra. È stata una mattinata indimenticabile, non è mancato niente: dal buon cibo, al clima familiare, all’acqua Fiuggi, che ci è stata gentilmente offerta, dato l’agosto abbastanza caldo. Consigliamo davvero a tutti di mettere le mani in pasta insieme a Rosa Maria e di lasciarsi guidare alla scoperta dei sapori di questa magnifica terra!
- We loved it so much! We felt welcome in her house. She was very sweet and patient and the pasta we learned to make was delicious!
- We LOVED this cooking class with Rosa - she was very friendly, welcoming & knowledgeable. She is generous with her time, patient with questions & good company. We shared lunch with her family swapping stories which was lovely - it was also my birthday so I got candles & a happy birthday song to top it all off! Would definitely recommend to others. Grazie Mille Rosa!
- We really enjoyed the cooking class with Mrs. Rosa. She made us feel so welcome and was a great teacher!

Where
Rosa Maria
Cesarina from 2018Location: Palermo Languages: Italian, English, FrenchIn Sicily, particularly in Palermo, there is one singular regional cuisine: pasta, olive oil, vegetables and oily fish varieties, are the four cardinal staples. The dishes prepared by Rosa Maria reflect this tradition, revised with imagination and the desire to experiment, in keeping with the ancient recipes.
Our Cesarina offers dishes inextricably linked to products and raw materials of the island; Rosa Maria welcomes us in Palermo but invites us to discover the aromas and flavors of Favignana, of Ustica and of San Vito Lo Capo.
