- Spending a morning with Graziella and Andrea (Brian 😉) was a highlight of our trip. We not only learned how to make a delicious pasta, we also learned how to hand-roll the dough. The ridges of the pasta really make the difference! We've already ordered the items we learned to use yesterday and are excited to make them in our home soon. Graziella and Andrea welcomed us into their home where we instantly felt like family. If you're on the fence, book the class; you will not regret it!!
- Graziella & Andrea were such warm and informative hosts! I had the best time with them. What started as a cooking lesson became a super informative lesson on the history and geography of Sicily. We even FaceTimed my relatives back home in Australia and had a funny conversation. I am very grateful for my time there and would recommend it to anyone.
- We felt very welcome at Graziella’s home. We had a great time during our visit. I liked making pasta from flour and water. It’s An traditional way that you can bring back home. It tasted very well. As a bonus we learned a lot about Sicilië and get the best tips for our travel.
- Andrea and Graziella were great Hosts. We had a lot of fun, and learned not just about pasta but also about Mount etna.
- We had a fantastic evening with Graziella and Andrea learning how to make different Italian pasta dishes from scratch (which were absolutely delicious!) as well as a homemade tiramisu which was the best tiramisu we have ever had! We had such a lovely evening getting to know Graziella and Andrea and learn about so much, all while drinking delicious Italian wine with a view of Mount Etna in the background! They also gave us some fabulous cocktail bar recommendations in Catania which we saw them at later that evening! Beautiful people, beautiful food and beautiful views- I highly recommend booking a cooking class with Graziella and Andrea to add a touch of proper Italian culture to your trip!
