- By far, our day with Gilda was the best cooking experience, our family has ever had. The trip through the market was incredible. Gilda taught us volumes about what makes Sililian cuisune so unique. She was a lavish and generous host who taught us a great deal about Sicilian cooking well beyond the exquisite dishes she prepared. Gilda has an impressive education and career as a chef. With her kind and generous personality, learning and cooking with her was a pleasure.
- It was a really great experience. Gilda has welcomed us in her house and we felt like at home. She knows a lot about cooking and taught us how to make the perfect pasta. We cooked two different pasta dishes together and prepared a tiramisu. Then we ate together with her family. It was simply a perfect evening.
- Gilda is such a wonderful person and a delight to learn from. She is very friendly and makes the experience entertaining and fun. We learned so much from spending time with her and we are excited to try the recipes at home. Highly recommend her if you are in Sicily. This was one of our favorite experiences during our trip!
- My family and friends all participated in this amazing experience. The 8 of us met with Gilda in the Ortigia market where she showed us the different food vendors and advised us where to shop for the freshest items. Afterwards at her home with the lovely kitchen, we watched as she prepared several dishes, including caponade, pork spadini, pasta with a tomato and sausage sauce, and canolli filling to stuff the shells for dessert. Lunch included all the above, after being presented with an amazing Antipasta Italiana (a meat and cheese board) and a sciacia, a stuffed bread with cheeses and meats. It was an amazing experience to watch Gilda prepare each dish and hear her explain everything as she worked. We thoroughly enjoyed learning the recipes and methods of cooking her delicious meal. It was a memorable experience that we all are still talking about and will remember for a very long time.
- We had the most amazing meal with Gilda and cousin Pina. We learned to make Cavatelli, tiramisu and stuffed bread. We had a delicious meal and so many laughs. If you ever want a true dining experience and a host who will go above and beyond for you - All 6 of us will attest to the wonderful meal we had with our host and chef Gilda!! molte bene and grazie mille!!

Gilda
Cesarina from 2018Location: Syracuse Languages: Italian and EnglishFrom its fascinating position on the sea to its archaeological monuments, Syracuse is the perfect city to lounge under the sun on its beautiful beaches, experience a classic tragedy in the ancient Greek theater or lose oneself in the narrow streets of Ortigia, the historic center, following the sounds, colors or the tantalizing aroma of Sicilian cuisine... Following the aroma emanating from the traditional Sicilian dishes will bring you to Gilda’s, our Cesarina. Gilda has an innate passion for cooking. She loves to cook and receive friends and relatives, organizing lunches and dinners at home. Gilda makes you feel at home and the atmosphere is cheerful and lively, and her table is always full of flowers and colorful!
