Hi from Antonella!

"I have always considered hospitality something important, a source of personal growth and development, through cultural exchange that can also pass through food. I have always loved cooking, since my adolescence, here in my home, inside of a mid-19th century building in the historic center of Catania, a city that with the beauty of its baroque, its climate, its lava soil gives the products a great flavor. "

My specialities

Caponata (Sicilian dish of fried eggplant in pieces with celery, onion, capers, olives, tomatoes, seasoned in sweet and sour)
Pasta alla norma (Sicilian pasta dish with eggplant and basil)

: I had a wonderful time at Antonella's. She taught me how to make pasta from scratch and we prepared two really delicious pasta dishes that we then tasted after the aperitivo. Thank you, Antonella!
: Antonella was an amazing teacher! She welcomed us into her home as if we were part of her family. We made several appetizers, a main course and dessert. We talked about the different ingredients and how they affect the flavors of the dish. When everything was prepared we set the table together and ate our delicious meal. Loved our time with Antonella!!!!! I want to go back!
: Antonella made our trip to Sicily even more special and we cannot thank her enough. Our shopping adventure through the market was one of our trips highlights. I took many pictures of the fresh vegetables , all so beautiful , the cheeses, coffees breads and pastries. We could have stayed there forever! We felt like “ home” at her apartment and cooking with her was euphoric It was a perfect day, a glorious meal and I took home recipes to make this weekend. Cannot wait. Thank you !!
: By far the best cooking experience we have ever had! From best stands at the market and shops to learning new recipes in a beautiful historic home. Just a perfect day!
: This was BY FAR one of our top experiences in Sicily. Antonella was an amazing guide, treating us to food, locations and information we would never have gotten otherwise. Beyond highly recommend. Antonella went above and beyond making our visit to Catania a trip of a lifetime.
