Shared Experience
Your experience

    Discover authentic cow's ricotta, the star of Sicilian cuisine, in this unique culinary experience in which we will use fresh, artisanal ricotta made locally. You will learn how to make traditional ravioli, flaking and kneading the dough by hand with flour made from local ancient grains, and filling them with ricotta flavored with marjoram or enriched with spinach and chard. Ricotta is also the protagonist of a typical dessert, cassatina: a fragrant basket of sweet dough filled with cinnamon-scented ricotta, baked in the oven. A journey through authentic flavors and Sicilian traditions to be experienced with passion.

    My kitchen is truly the heart of the home — it's where my family gathers to celebrate everyday life, traditions, and special moments. It's a bright and welcoming space, filled with memories, books, handcrafted objects, and the scents of Sicily: aromatic herbs, vegetables from our garden, local wines, ceramics, and family photos. We welcome our guests with the flavors of tradition: homemade ricotta ravioli with meat and sausage sauce, sourdough bread made with ancient Sicilian grains, and Modica’s typical street food — such as scacce, scifiteddi, pastieri, and buccatedde — served with our own olives, fresh ricotta from nearby farms, classic arancini, and a special caponata. There’s also a personal touch: Bergamo-style polenta with Sicilian meat sauce — a flavorful mix that tells the story of our family’s journey away from and back to Sicily. Everything is made with local, seasonal, and genuine ingredients — many of which we grow or produce ourselves: stone-ground flours, olive oil from our trees, eggs from our hens, and fresh herbs and vegetables picked straight from our garden. And above all, there’s the love and passion passed down from my mother and grandmother.
