Hi from Maria!

Catania is volcanic, lively, noisy and welcoming at the same time, it is also the perfect city where you can taste all the delicacies of the table. You can taste the typical dishes at the home of Maria, our Cesarina. "I can say that at my venerable age I lived several cultural and culinary generations. Daughter of the commander of the famous ship" CARIDDI ", of the Strait of Messina, I was lucky enough to experience the whole territory of Sicily from an early age and to enrich myself with knowledge culinary of mother and grandmother. By transferring this knowledge and the secrets of Sicilian cuisine to my table that I have always enriched with details and great care."

: It was an amazing experience, it was even better than I expected. I was made to feel very welcome, the food was exceptional, recipes passed from generation to generation. With each course an explanation of the recipe, including demonstration of how to serve it. Maria’s grandson served us, he is a budding chef himself and is passionate about his Grandmother’s recipes. I can highly recommend anyone who wants to be immersed in true Catania family and food experience. This was my first but won’t be my last food experience with Cesarine!
