We had such an amazing experience cooking, eating, drinking, and getting to know Daniela! Her hospitality is unmatched and her cooking class was absolutely a highlight of our vacation!

You cannot say you've been to Messina if you haven't been in Daniela's Kitchen. I've done several food tours around the World, but I have to say this experience was OUTSTANDING! Daniela brings you to one of the city markets where you can meet locals in their daily activities, taste local foods and experience what the real Messinese life looks like. You decide the menu, and what you are going to eat, with her while at the market, based on what the market has to offer that day. You'll go back to her house and cook your meal from start to end. You will enjoy your incredible meal with one of the best views of Messina, Daniela's terrace! GRAZIE DANIELA! Sei la migliore!!

Daniela's Experience IS MESSINA!  - June 2024

I cannot recommend this experience enough!! My husband and I were on our honeymoon, and wanted to experience a true Italian cooking class. This is that experience. We were welcomed into her home, learned about the culture, and even got to try some yummy Sicilian snacks before we dove in. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. This was the best part of our trip to Italy!!! Highly recommend!

This was one of the biggest highlights of our vacation to Italy and Greece!!! Daniela (and her mother in law Tina) were informative , fun and such gracious hosts!! It was interesting and fun to learn how to make different types of pasta and as a bonus cannolis ❤️. We felt welcome and very at ease in her beautiful home. Highly recommend to all. Thank you so much Daniela!

Maria Daniela
Cesarina from 2019Location: Messina    Languages: Italian, English, Spanish
In Messina, there are many things to see: churches, palaces, fortifications, fountains, and monuments. But, to really get to know this city it is also a must to taste its typical dishes. So, you must therefore know the flavors and aromas typical of this part of Sicily and, the best place is at the home of our Cesarina. Maria Daniela loves the sea, and from the garden of her 1913 villa you can look out and enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Strait of Messina. Together with her, you can learn how to make "maccheroncini al ferro" - the traditional fresh pasta that is seasons with the sauce -, and the Messina-style veal cutlets, which she learned to fill and roll since she was a child to help her mother and sisters in the kitchen.
