- Friendly chef, very delicious sicilian food, nice host. Her niece translated from italian to english, so the cooking class also works for non italian speekers. The home made pasta (busiate) was excellent. We had a nice evening!
- My mom, my aunt, and I stayed at Mrs. Giampatrizia’s house in December and immediately felt like part of the family! Giampatrizia is an empathetic and very kind person, always attentive and available. Between laughter, chatter, and valuable advice, we cooked scacciate, fresh pasta, and biancomangiare, and every dish was delicious. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and fun: an authentic experience that makes Sicilian cuisine special and that we will remember with great affection. Absolutely worth trying!
- Giampatrizia is a wonderful teacher. She welcomed my sister and I into her home, and taught us how to cook numerous traditional Sicilian desserts. I would recommend her to novice cooks and seasoned bakers alike. She also provided a translator, who was equally excellent.
- We loved our time spent cooking in Giampatrizia’s home! She was so welcoming and everything was so delicious. To be able to experience something like that far away from home really made me and my sister’s Christmas very special! Thank you so much for the time spent teaching us!
- Go have dinner and make pasta with Giampatrizia in Pedara! Giampatrizia welcomed my friend and me into her beautiful home to enjoy a Sicilian dinner prepared with love. She welcomed us with delicious Sicilian appetizers made with home grown tomatoes and olive oil and we got acquainted. Then we got busy making two kinds of pasta in her kitchen. Giampatrizia was very organized and provided a perfect mix of instruction and fun as we got our hands into the dough and worked to develop our technique. The meal was delicious and we left feeling like we had made a friend. We didn't have a car and she helped us arrange a ride home (check transportation logistics before you go if you don't have your own car - the area is spread out and lacks taxis or reliable bus service). Skip the restaurant and have dinner here!

Cesarina from 2023Location: Pedara (CT) Languages: Italian and EnglishMy kitchen embodies the rich Sicilian tradition passed down through generations, adapted to cater to various dietary needs, including gluten-free cuisine. With no limit on guests, I've hosted gatherings in my garden with abundant food, good music, and carefully curated setups. The Christmas dinners for my banking team were always well-received, with a focus on table arrangements and dish presentation. Beyond Sicilian tradition, I enjoy experimenting with international dishes. My hobbies include crafting jams from my orchard's fruits, making homemade liqueurs, and various preserves."
