Maria Rita
My passion for the stove arose by chance. During a particularly stormy day, I found solace in cooking and discovered that it left me in a state of relaxation. From that day on, it was love at first sight. The essence that every food emanates, the aromas of spices and herbs I use in every recipe, or simply the scents that develop during cooking, bring me joy and well-being. This is what I aim to offer my guests, in addition to delighting their palate, of course.

- Of all the experiences we have had during our month in Sicily, our meal with Rita and Emanuela is one we continue to talk about. How amazing to be in Rita's home and to learn how to make pasta. Learning how to make the pasta and how to dine as a true Sicilian was extraordinary, but the stories, laughter and hugs became the cherry on top. My husband shared his Italian heritage with the ladies and he even said that being in Rita's home made his Sicilian grandmother's voice resonate in his mind. That was worth everything. Thank you for sharing your lives and loves with us. We will do this every time we visit Castellammare. We recommend this experience highly and look forward to recreating the pasta in our home. Much love, hope and gratitude, Judy and Len
- We had a wonderful time with Maria! She is a great host and we really enjoyed the course. Even though we booked very last minute the night before, Maria created a fantastic experience for us in such a short time! We would love to come back. Best regards.
- We had a wonderful day with Maria. Although we booked very last minute, after 8 pm the evening before the course, she was waiting for us the next day at 11 am with an interpreter and gave us a great pasta cooking class with wonderfully fresh ingredients. We had a lot of fun and felt completely comfortable. Should we ever come back to Sicily, we would be happy to visit again! Best regards.
- We enjoyed our time with Maria. We both enjoyed making ravioli, exploring Borgo Parrini and a delicious lunch. Maria kindly spoke clearly and not too fast so we were able to enjoy conversations with her in Italian.
- Rita was fantastic! We had an amazing experience, her cooking was superb, we would love to return!
