Hi from Antonio!

I deeply love my Sicily and everything that its rich culinary culture represents. I am passionate about exploring authentic Sicilian dishes, with the aim of rediscovering and celebrating traditional flavors. Between 2019 and 2020, I conducted a study on the monsù cuisine of Palermo's aristocratic families, an extraordinary experience both from a practical and narrative perspective, allowing me to delve into the history and elegance of this gastronomic tradition. For many years, I worked in Michelin-starred restaurants, where I nurtured my passion for "contemporary cuisine," experimenting with innovative techniques and creative approaches. During this time, I also specialized in international cuisine, with a particular focus on Mediterranean flavors and traditions.

We scheduled a class with Antonio to make 2 pasta and tiramisu. We had the best time with him as he patiently helped us create a delicious meal and enjoy it together in his home. He shared information about the local foods and techniques, and even some family recipe tips of his “Granny”. It was such a great experience, we felt like we were cooking with a family friend who also happened to be a chef. This ended up being one of our favorite activities in our 10 day trip through Italy and Spain. Thanks Antonio for spending your afternoon with us!

I loved my cooking class with Antonio. I learned how to make pasta, pasta sauce, panellas, and a beautiful salad. Thank you Antonio! He is an excellent teacher, and a lovely human being.

I loved the class. We made good Ford and had nice conversations. I highly recommend taking the Sicilian cooking class from Antonio.
