- Rosella was fantastic. What a wonderful way to spend time in Messina. We started in the market, about 25 min walk from our cruise ship. We met Rosella and her cousin (with perfect English), we toured the market, bought some groceries, and then met Rosella’s kind husband outside for a car ride to their new house atop a hill. Once inside, we were greeted with appetizers, wine, coffees, water, etc. and then suited up in our aprons and started the cooking lesson. We made homemade pesto, using a mortar and pestle! The basil smelled divine. Then we all made fresh pasta by hand. After we all ate together and really got to know one another, the time flew by. We loved sitting around their table, in their beautiful home, with a beautiful meal and were surprised by the most delicious cannolis you’ve ever had!! My dad doesn’t usually like cannolis but after a bite of mine, he went for a whole one! Ha. After the meal, we took some photos and downloaded the ones they had taken, and Rosellas husband gave us a ride back to town, 2 min walk to the cathedral, clock tower, fountain and cruise terminal. It was a lovely day. I would recommend this experience as the best way to experience Sicily for anyone visiting Messina!
- A truly unforgettable experience. Words cannot describe the hospitality and friendliness of Rossella and Giuseppe. Memories for a lifetime. Food, wine, laughs, talk and lessons on cooking.
- Initially, I hoped to travel to Sicily and find a good cook to teach me authentic Sicilian cuisine, fearing that I would only find touristy classes online. But I wasn't mistaken in booking a class with Rossella ❤️ Thank you for your welcome, your kindness, your expertise, and your desire to share the secrets of Sicilian cooking. Recommended without any hesitation! A huge thank you. My most beautiful experience in Sicily 🙏❤️🙏
- We highly recommend this experience. From meeting in the market to shop for fresh ingredients, to being welcomed into Rosella's lovely home where we learnt how to prepare a pasta dish (including making fresh pasta!) we had a fun time. Eating our delicious food accompanied by good company, prosecco and wine rounded off a great morning.
- We had an excellent time at our hosts house and with her family.
