- Wonderful time either way our gracious host Mariella. Our visit to Messina was wonderful thanks to our cooking experience and Grazie!
- This experience at Mariela’s home was fantastic! For the food enthusiast who want to learn great Italian cooking by a warm and friendly person, book this! Highly recommend this experience!
- Great experience! Mariella was awesome and the food was amazing! We will definitely be taking what we learned home with us and try to replicate the authentic Italian food that we made! We ate so much enjoying our creations we didn't have to eat the rest of the day!
- We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Mariella. She met us in the square, then we went for a caffè in a nearby local shop. We then went to her home/apartment where we began our lesson. Through google translate, we were able to converse. Mariella spent the next few hours teaching us how to make homemade pasta, ravioli, meatballs, and other local dishes, all which were amazing. My husband and I really enjoyed our experience. The only thing that would have made this experience over the top would have been to have 1-2 other couples involved.
- The most amazing experience! Mariella welcomed us into her home and instantly treated us like family. We learned to make several courses, all while she gave us instruction, explanation, and history. Lovely woman, and the most lovely day

Cesarina from 2023Location: Messina Languages: Italian and EnglishMy cuisine is linked to tradition with a touch of poetic license for some foods, which are too strong for me. Born and raised in Messina, I actually learned the Messina tradition when I grew up, because my parents were originally from Gioiosa Marea and Piraino, provinces of Messina but with several differences in methodology. I try to combine these diversities in a taste that is, I would say, pleasant. I like to know and above all I would like these traditions not to disappear.
