At the end of the meal, you'll also put your hands to pasta for Sicilian cannoli, filled with the freshest ricotta and decorated with orange peel and chocolate chips. Amid aromas of cuisine and breathtaking views, you'll experience the true soul of Sicily.

- Maria Rita welcomed us into her home and was so gracious. We made her grandmothers recipes that she so fondly shared with us. I will definitely try to replicate when I get home!! Loved the whole experience!
- Maria-Rita is lovely, passionate host. While kneading the dough we chatted while pasta was the optimal solution to feed families in pre-industrial times, what is typical in various regions of Sicily and so on. We prepared and cooked the pasta together. The main dish, excellent sardines, and cannoli was prepared by Maria-Rita. We had a great time and food together.
- Wonderful cooking night with Maria Rita in her beautiful home! We had fun making fresh pasta, a regional potato dish and tiramisu. Even learned some interesting food facts about Sicilian cuisine! Maria was patient and kind - we thank her for a beautiful night!
- Thank you Maria Rita for a beautiful experience in your lovey apartment in Siracusa. I enjoyed myself so much, such a warm welcome and lovely food and cocktail to welcome me in. The whole cookery and lunch experience was 5 ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We agreed at the start what to cook from a choice of recipes of Maria Rita. Such an accomplished cook. I am looking forward to trying the Ravioli, pepperonata and almond biscuits again! So tasty and I learnt so many tips on ingredients and methods. I hope to come and learn some more again 😊 Highly recommend
- We had an amazing experience with Maria Rita. She opened her home to us and we were treated like family. We mad arancini, cannoli and fresh pasta. The food was amazing and it was such a fun experience. My husband and I enjoyed this very much! Maria Rita and her husband were wonderful hosts, so kind and warm.

Maria Rita
Cesarina from 2022Location: Syracuse Languages: Italian, Spanish, English"I love cooking because it relaxes me and takes me away from the stress of life. I love sweets and decorations and I am constantly studying with first courses, second courses and side dishes. I love the Mediterranean diet, I prefer fish but I like to vary. I love having friends. and family members at home, despite my work I commit a lot, because the table unites .... My family appreciates a lot and always asks for something new to offer on the table "
