Rosella and her husband, Giuseppe were the most accommodating and gracious people. They came to pick us up at the cruise port when we were unable to get a taxi. We were welcomed into their home with prosecco. We had such a great time as Rosella taught us the art of pasta making. Then, she showed us how to prepare each type of pasta we made in a different way. Of course, we ate all the ravioli as we sat around their kitchen table. The fettuccine and spaghetti were also fantastic. Giuseppe sent us links for recipes. I can't wait to get home and practice my new skills.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooking lesson with Rosella. We learned how to make fresh pasta and tiramisu. Everything tasted great. We'll be getting a pasta machine when we get back home.

We had a wonderful afternoon with Rossella and her family! Great food and great company! We thoroughly enjoyed our time going to the market and spending time learning about family recipes and culture. It was a highlight of our trip!

Rosella and her family were AMAZING. The 6 of us were warmly welcomed into her home and it was such a joy to be in her home and share her culture and the wonderful food. She is an excellant chef. Through her cooking she shares her love of her country and heritage. She explained every step of the preparations and used only fresh ingredients to produce delicious dishes. We left feeling loved, educated about the country & the food and like we had new friends in Messina. We would highly recommend this experience.

This was a really cool experience and the hospitality of Rossella and her family were outstanding. It was so memorable being able to spend time with a local Sicilian family and learn about their food and culture. We were running about 15 min late as we had trouble getting a taxi from the port and the family were very accomodating with this. They catered very well to gluten free (I have coeliac disease), preparing everything separately to other dishes. We were a bit surprised that for our cooking demo experience they were using packet pasta and the meals were almost complete with just plating and the boiling of pasta needing to be done. We weren’t sure if it would have been different if they weren’t trying to cater for gluten free as well and we also understand that 2.5 hours isn’t a lot of time to allow for a full cooking demo & lunch. It really was a lovely Italian lunch with a wonderful local family who treat you like good friends! A great experience in Messina!!
