Shared Experience
Your experience
In my special culinary course, I offer you the chance to learn how to make three types of fresh homemade pasta, you can choose from potato, pumpkin or spinach gnocchi, topped with a creamy parmesan or gorgonzola sauce.
Second pasta we will make white red green noodles or tagliatelle topped with mushrooms or truffle or simply Alfredo. Finally as a third fresh pasta I propose an almond paste dessert that we will make from scratch starting with almond flour and color it green and make small cassatines, a particular Sicilian dessert with ricotta cream.

- Simply the highlight of our trip. Rosa Maria was a gracious and welcoming host and an excellent teacher. We learned so much in a short amount of time with Rosa Maria’s expertise and guidance. The end result was the best meal we have had in Italy. We will take what we learned home with us and enjoy future meals together with our families. This is an experience you will not forget! 100 stars!!
- Overall we had a great time and Rosa Maria has a beautiful home. Our class was short so it felt a bit rushed.
- We enjoyed our time, and appreciated being welcomed into Rosa’s home, and enjoyed meeting her family. Overall we had a positive experience, however it felt a bit rushed and lacked patient guidance.
- L’esperienza con Rosa Maria è stata a dir poco unica! Siamo stati accolti fin da subito da un caloroso sorriso, che ci ha accompagnati durante tutta la mattinata, partendo dalla visita del mercato, proseguendo con la preparazione dei piatti e concludendo con il pranzo. Dopo la visita iniziale, ci siamo dilettati a preparare un pranzo palermitano, guidati in modo impeccabile e delicato da Rosa Maria, che ci ha svelato tantissimi dettagli trucchi utili, in modo da poter ricreare i piatti anche a casa nostra. È stata una mattinata indimenticabile, non è mancato niente: dal buon cibo, al clima familiare, all’acqua Fiuggi, che ci è stata gentilmente offerta, dato l’agosto abbastanza caldo. Consigliamo davvero a tutti di mettere le mani in pasta insieme a Rosa Maria e di lasciarsi guidare alla scoperta dei sapori di questa magnifica terra!
- We loved it so much! We felt welcome in her house. She was very sweet and patient and the pasta we learned to make was delicious!

Where
Rosa Maria
Cesarina from 2018Location: Palermo Languages: Italian, English, French In Sicily, especially in Palermo, there is one true regional cuisine — based on four essential ingredients: pasta, olive oil, vegetables, and oily fish. These are the foundations of my cooking. My dishes reflect this tradition, but I love to add a touch of imagination and a desire to experiment, always staying true to the spirit of our ancient recipes. I use ingredients that are deeply connected to the land and sea of Sicily. I welcome my guests here in Palermo, but through my food, I also invite them to discover the aromas and flavors of Favignana, Ustica, and San Vito Lo Capo.
