At Cesarina Marilù's home, you will experience typical Sicilian cuisine: we will prepare ancient Sicilian recipes together using fresh and genuine local ingredients, purchased directly from the Catania open-air market. Guests will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the various stages of preparing the dishes. My specialties are busiate or cavatelli, typical pasta shapes made with semolina flour, the delicious eggplant parmigiana or caponata alla catanese of vegetables.

Marilú made us feel right at home. She was so patient with our kiddos. They were engaged the entire time and had fun perfecting their ravioli pastas. I cannot state enough how wonderful this experience was! I highly recommend making Marilú’s class apart of your next trip to Sicily!

Esperienza meravigliosa. Uova, farina, ospitalità e grande cuore contraddistinguono le serate che si passano insieme alla Cesarina Marilù e suo marito. Torneremo sicuramente, non solo per imparare nuovi trucchi di cucina ma soprattutto per riempire un altro pezzetto di cuore con l’amore che ci é stato trasmesso la prima volta. Con la promessa di ritrovarci e amore, Giulia e Federico, da Milano.

A wonderful experience. We learned how to make 4 styles of ravioli. The recipes were easy to follow, and Marilù explained everything. Our Italian is not the best but we were able to understand everything. Thank you Marilù and Vincenzo for having in your home and sharing a wonderful evening!

Cesarina from 2022Location: Catania    Languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish
I am Marilù, your Cesarina in Catania. I look forward to cooking together and letting you taste a variety of traditional dishes that I prepare with love. We will get our hands dirty and make fresh pasta together using fresh and genuine ingredients purchased directly at the open-air market in Catania. Guests will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in all stages of dish preparation. My specialties include egg ravioli and tagliatelle, busiate and cavatelli (Sicilian fresh pasta), scacce, scacciate, and focaccias. My standout dishes are eggplant Parmesan and Sicilian-style caponata. To end on a sweet note, we cannot miss tiramisu, a dessert loved by all, as well as traditional Sicilian sweets: lemon or melon ice and sesame nougat.
