Your experience
  • Tortano
  • Sorrento-style gnocchi
  • Babà (a yeast cake soaked in rhum syrup) with cream

My childhood memory . My mother who recently passed away was Neapolitan . I created this experience in her memory .

Tortano is a savory pie with cold cuts and cheese and was always made in our house to empty the fridge . There was no Sunday without gnocchi and meatballs with sauce . Gnocchi were made by mom even when there was nothing in the fridge , I remember her boiling two potatoes that she mixed with a little flour and put a delicious dish on the table . To finish the baba typical Neapolitan sweet soaked with rum , we children were allowed to eat it even with the presence of the liqueur

A lovely experience with Rosa Maria and her husband Massimo and Cele.

Amazing cooking class! So much fun, so much food, and Maria is an excellent host! Would recommend this to anyone visiting Palermo!

We had an excellent time with Rosa Maria and her assistant - they are charming and fun. I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish it was interesting and informative, and Rosa Maria is an absolute delight. She taught us how to make pasta from scratch in her beautiful apartment, which has a most modern and spacious kitchen. The resulting eggplant dish and tiramisu desert were incredible. I've made Pasta Norma about 100 times before but now I know how to make it properly Grazie Rosa Maria! We look forward to a return visit!

Rosa Maria
Cesarina from 2018Location: Palermo    Languages: Italian, English, French
In Sicily, particularly in Palermo, there is one singular regional cuisine: pasta, olive oil, vegetables and oily fish varieties, are the four cardinal staples. The dishes prepared by Rosa Maria reflect this tradition, revised with imagination and the desire to experiment, in keeping with the ancient recipes.

Our Cesarina offers dishes inextricably linked to products and raw materials of the island; Rosa Maria welcomes us in Palermo but invites us to discover the aromas and flavors of Favignana, of Ustica and of San Vito Lo Capo.
