Your experience
If you've been to Catania and fell in love with the famous "tavola calda siciliana" after tasting it in a local bar, you're in the right place! In my home, you'll learn the basics of preparing all the Sicilian rosticceria you love: pizzettes, cartocciate, cipolline, torciglioni, bolognesi, ricotta ravioli, cartocci, bombs, bombettes, and sicilianes. All these specialties can be made with a single dough!
In this course, I will guide you step-by-step in making pizzettes, cartocciate, sweet ricotta ravioli, and sicilianes. Additionally, you'll receive a comprehensive booklet that will allow you to easily make all the other "pieces" of the tavola calda at home, including the famous cipolline.

- My wife and i were on our honeymoon and looking for an authentic Sicilian experience when we came across Fernanda’s pasta-making class, and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we arrived, Fernanda and her wonderful family welcomed us with open arms and made us feel like part of their own. The entire experience was beyond what we expected. We learned how to make several types of pasta, including tortellini, gnocchi, and ravioli with delicious homemade fillings. Fernanda and her sister also shared insights into Sicilian culinary traditions that made us appreciate the culture even more. There was plenty of laughter, amazing food (we ate until we were stuffed!), wine flowing freely, and a sense of warmth and joy that’s hard to put into words. By the end, it felt like we were leaving a family dinner, not a cooking class. If you’re in Catania and want an experience that feels truly personal and local, this is it. Thank you for one of our favorite memories of the trip!
- I had the most wonderful experience at Fernanda’s cooking class! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed into her beautiful home. Fernanda, along with her sister and daughter, guided us through the process of making fresh, authentic Italian pasta from scratch. Their passion for cooking and sharing Italian culture truly shined throughout the experience. One of the things I appreciated most was how helpful they all were with translating Italian, making sure everyone could follow along and feel included regardless of language barriers. It made the class feel even more personal and engaging. The atmosphere was relaxed, friendly, and full of laughter—and of course, the pasta we made was absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a unique, hands-on cooking experience in a warm and authentic setting, I highly recommend Fernanda's class. It was one of the highlights of my trip!
- Hicimos el curso de pasta fresca solos mi marido y yo y nos sentimos como en casa. Fernanda y su familia son encantadores, amables, simpaticos y nos enseñaron los trucos y recetas de dos tipos de pasta y de tiramisú. Una experiencia autentica en todos los sentidos. Gracias por enseñarnos un poco mas de vuestra gastronomia y caracter y por ser tan hospitalarios :)
