I’m Rita, a Sicilian Cesarina, and I’m waiting to welcome you to a 3-hour experience filled with cooking, the sea, and conviviality. Together we’ll knead and roll fresh pasta just like tradition teaches, and then enjoy an authentic Sicilian lunch. We’ll start with tastings of local cheeses, seasonal vegetables, eggplant parmigiana and caponata, bruschetta with cherry tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes in oil. This will be followed by a pasta dish with fresh tomato and basil sauce, and a traditional dessert from my land, such as ricotta or chickpea cassatelle. Everything will be paired with local wine and refreshing drinks. A special occasion to discover the most genuine Sicily, made of flavors, smiles, and family warmth.

Che dire di Rita, semplicemente una perfetta padrona di casa, accolti con il suo sorriso in una location curata in tutti i particolari. Le sue pietanze cucinate con amore e in particolare un cous cous di carne, mai mangiato cosi, dal gusto straordinario. Sicuramente esperienza da ripetere.

My experience today was just incredible. Traveling from South Louisiana, I wanted to learn how to make pasta from scratch in a comfortable and friendly environment. I am a novice cook. Somewhat experienced. Anyway, the highlights for me were: Maria Rita was an excellent hands on teacher. She paid close attention to my comfort level. If o wanted to work, she let me work, if I was tired, she finished for me. Maria Rita’s daughter Francescana was there to translate for us. Maria Rita knows English however Francesca is fluent in English. They welcomed my wife into their home at no extra charge. The conversation was just natural and warm. Maria Rita and her daughter are simply good people. We laughed a lot. The food was so fresh and so good. All of the vegetables we prepared and ate were home grown by Maria Rita. The food highlights for me were: homemade sun dried tomatoes in her homemade olive oil, with homegrown basil and garlic. The bruschetta, wow! Maria Rita’s tomatoes are grown hydroponically. She has her own chickens because her daughter loves fresh eggs of course :) The fresh made pasta was Delizioso and I was proud to make it with semolina flour and a pinch of semolina. I could go on and on, but instead I will tell you that my wife and I will be back at the home of Maria Rita. We felt so very comfortable. Top experience in Sicily so far!

My passion for the stove arose by chance. During a particularly stormy day, I found solace in cooking and discovered that it left me in a state of relaxation. From that day on, it was love at first sight. The essence that every food emanates, the aromas of spices and herbs I use in every recipe, or simply the scents that develop during cooking, bring me joy and well-being. This is what I aim to offer my guests, in addition to delighting their palate, of course.
