Hi from Graziella!
Cefalù is a charming town with a suggestive atmosphere, rich in history, architecture and traditions, famous above all for the Norman cathedral, it is surrounded by the Madonie Park and a wonderful sea. A few steps from the center lives our Cesarina in a cozy villa with a garden.Here we meet Graziella who brings traditional dishes to the table that reflect Norman, Arab and Greek influences. And taste the unique products: oil, almonds, olives, fish, preserves and cheeses. And again the wines: white, black, rosé, excellent for enhancing the great variety of Sicilian cuisine. Because food is above all culture: tasting means visiting and touching the history of Cefalù.

- The food and experience was more than we ever imagined. Graziella loves what she is doing and it shows. Delicious food and a wonderful and fun family! We enjoyed every minute and can’t wait to return to visit our new famiglia!
- If you're seeking an intimate and authentic way to learn about f Italian cooking, Graziella is undoubtedly the perfect guide. Graziella welcomed us with open arms. She is warm and kind and loves to share her passion for cooking. Together with my fiancée, we went to the local market in Campofelice di Roccella, where Graziella showed us how sausage is prepared. We not only watched but actively participated in making this Italian staple from scratch. We sampled cured meats, sipped wine then made our way back to Graziella's charming studio, where we prepared a traditional Sicilian dinner. She showed us how to make handmade pasta, the delectable sausage we had created earlier, and the Sicilian-style involtini, a mouthwatering beef roll. Graziella's enthusiasm made the entire process a genuine delight. If you find yourself in Cefalu, don't miss the opportunity to learn from Graziella; it will undoubtedly be a highlight of your journey. Grazie mille, Graziella! Sarah & Tamer Toronto, Canada
- A very special and memorable evening with our wonderful host Graziella. Welcoming, warm, funny, and patient with my lack of culinary skills! We made great food together. What a way to spend my 58th birthday. Graziella has inspired me to start cooking myself ! Wholeheartedly recommend Graziella.
- Graziella cooking class was phenomenal! Homemade pasta, sauce and tiramisu. All delicious. She was so warm and friendly we felt like we were with family. Nlearned a lot of new techniques we’ll try at home. Lovely setting. Highly recommend!
- Truly wonderful experience. Graziella made us feel like family and was great at explaining her cooking methods. She also speaks very good English, which we found helpful. Best meal on Sicily so far!
