I will welcome you into my home overlooking the Strait of Messina for an authentic and unforgettable experience, where the stunning view will set the scene for discovering the most iconic flavors of our cuisine.
I’ll share my family’s recipes with you, guiding you through a journey filled with aromas, colors, and smiles. Together, we’ll prepare a seasonal appetizer of crostoni or small tartines; then we’ll move on to fresh, handmade pasta, creating two traditional shapes—tagliatelle and gnocchi—paired with a variety of sauces. And to end on a sweet note, we’ll make a creamy tiramisu. It will be a true sensory journey through Messina, Sicily, and its centuries-old traditions. I can’t wait to welcome you… and to get our hands in the dough together!

- This is sooo fun!! I traveled all the way from Taiwan to Messina and have always wanted to try making my own food/recipes in Sicily (lol), so when I finally found this cooking class I had to go for it!!! Highly recommended! Great place, great vibe and amazing people 🥹💕 A must-do when you travel to Messina!!!
- While visiting Messina with my fiancée, we booked a cooking class through Cesarine with Raffaella after hearing about it on our MSC cruise. It ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the trip. We prepared fresh tagliatelle and gnocchi by hand, and finished with a delicious tiramisù. Raffaella shared her family recipes, stories, and that warm Sicilian hospitality that instantly makes you feel at home. On top of that, the view from her home overlooks the Strait of Messina and was absolutely fantastic. Couldn’t recommend it more! Joe, USA

Cesarina from 2025Location: Messina (ME) Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, FrenchBy passing down my family’s traditional recipes, I preserve Sicilian cuisine as a small treasure filled with aromas and memories. I love sharing with friends and guests those comforting, “home-like” flavors that tell my story. I also enjoy experimenting, reinterpreting traditional dishes and creating new recipes that remain deeply connected to my land. This is how I bring Sicily to the table—and into the heart—every day.
