Hi from Gilda!

From its fascinating position by the sea to its archaeological monuments, Syracuse is the perfect city to relax under the sun on beautiful beaches, experience a classic tragedy in the ancient Greek theater, or lose yourself in the narrow streets of Ortigia — the historic center — guided by the sounds, the colors, or the tantalizing aroma of Sicilian cuisine…And if you follow that aroma of traditional Sicilian dishes, you’ll find your way to my home.I’m Gilda, and I have an innate passion for cooking. I love preparing food and welcoming friends and family, organizing lunches and dinners at home.I always strive to make everyone feel at home — the atmosphere around my table is cheerful and lively, and it's always filled with flowers and color!

My cooking course with Gilda was incredibly special and I absolutely loved it. Not only is she incredibly kind and personal and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable, but the food was brilliant. She contacted me in advance offering different options of what we cooked and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a lovely evening eating with her son. Thank you again. l'd recommend this experience to anyone

My husband and I were on vacation for our Honeymoon. We decided to take a cooking class and Gilda did NOT disappoint. We had the best time and learned so much. This was definitely a highlight of our trip and would highly recommend this to anyone considering it.

I had a wonderful experience cooking with Gilda. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and energetic- a real force of nature cook! We made classic sicilian dishes and her home and gardens are beautiful. Six stars!

What a great day. Gilda picked me up and we went to the market in Siracusa together. A great experience and Gilda knows everybody at the market. Afterwards we went to Gildas house to cook together with the ingredients purchased. We made swordfish caponata, timbale, stuffed squid and ricotta cannoli. Everything was very delicious and I will make all these delicious recipes at home. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Abbiamo vissuto un’esperienza meravigliosa grazie a Gilda, che ci ha accolte nella sua splendida casa con grande cura e attenzione ai dettagli. Ogni angolo era curato con amore, creando un’atmosfera calda e accogliente perfetta per il nostro addio al nubilato. Il corso di cucina è stato divertente e coinvolgente: Gilda ha pensato a tutto, guidandoci con professionalità e passione nella preparazione di piatti deliziosi. Ogni portata è stata un trionfo di sapori e condivisione, trasformando la cena in un momento speciale che ricorderemo a lungo. Grazie di cuore per questa esperienza unica, che consigliamo a chiunque voglia vivere una serata all’insegna del buon cibo, della convivialità e del calore di una vera casa!
