Mariella

My cuisine is linked to tradition with a touch of poetic license for some foods, which are too strong for me.Born and raised in Messina, I actually learned the Messina tradition when I grew up, because my parents were originally from Gioiosa Marea and Piraino, provinces of Messina but with several differences in methodology.I try to combine these diversities in a taste that is, I would say, pleasant.I like to know and above all I would like these traditions not to disappear.

Our group of 3 had a wonderful time cooking at Mariella’s house. We each made a batch of pasta by hand, then turned it into lasagna, fettuccine, and ravioli. Mariella made everything easy to understand and learn. We enjoyed a feast for lunch at her beautifully set dinner table. Mariella was well-prepared and she perfectly paced the 3-hour class. We were treated like family. This cooking class was the highlight experience of our 2-week Mediterranean cruise vacation. Note: Mariella communicated with us in WhatsApp and she picked us up in her car near the cruise port. Her home is 20 min away from the cruise port.

This cooking class was amazing, probably one of the best tours we have ever done! Mariella is caring, authentic, entertaining and personable. The pasta, focaccia and tiramisu were delicious, all enjoyed on the her balcony overlooking the beautiful Strait of Messina.

This was an unforgettable experience! Mariella welcomed us in and made us feel right at home! The pasta and tiramisu were incredible! This was a meal of a lifetime in her beautiful home for my Mother in Laws 80th birthday. We will never forget our time with Maribella! YOU WONT REGRET BOOKING THIS
