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.

My wife and I had the best time and got more out of the day then just learning how to make pasta and tiramisu. Antonella and her family were amazing. The best part is my wife’s family is from Calabria and Antonella explained a lot of what we were cooking and the history behind it. If I’m in that area again with friends or family I will definitely be taking this class again

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.
