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.

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.
