Hi from Antonella!

In the heart of the Mediterranean, in the deep south of Italy, lies a corner of light, sea, and poetry. We are in Reggio Calabria, where its waterfront is one of the most scenic and beautiful promenades in our peninsula, offering the scent of the sea, views of the unmistakable silhouette of Mount Etna, and the evening sunset over the strait. Just steps from the historic center, we meet Antonella. Our Cesarina welcomes us into her cozy home with a panoramic terrace overlooking the sea. During her cooking classes, Antonella shares typical Calabrian recipes: from pasta rigorously handmade, like "maccheroni al ferretto," bursting with the colors and flavors of the land and sea, to cured meats accompanied by typical preserves of vegetables, eggplants, and other vegetables preserved in oil, and sun-dried tomatoes, ending with traditional desserts.

I could not have asked for a better host, Antonella was AMAZING!!! She was so warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable about all things cooking. I had such a beautiful afternoon/ evening with her. It truly was a highlight of my trip.

Antonella was phenomenal! Our family had an unforgettable experience cooking and then dining with her. We learned a tremendous amount about pasta making and Calabrian cooking in general. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to those looking for a fun and fulfilling culinary experience in Reggio Calabria.

A friend and I were in Reggio Calabria and wanted to take a pasta making class. Antonella welcomed us into her home and taught us how to make beautiful and tasty pasta but more than that we talked, we laughed, it was like discovering you have Italian relatives and they invite you into their home. I finally met someone who could answer my questions about European flour. I also learned you can freeze pomegranate seeds and put them in a glass of Prosecco. That was a life lesson. I highly recommend taking a class with Antonella to anyone who wishes to cook and eat a fresh cooked authentic Italian meal while having fun at the same time

We loved spending time with Antonella and her family! We learned a great deal from them not just about the meal we were making which was delicious from start to finish but also about the local area. They even arranged a shopping trip for us for the bergamot ingredients at a local store which was usually closed the next day. I would highly recommend taking a class with her and we will definitely keep in touch!
