Hi from Rosa Maria!

In Sicily, particularly in Palermo, there is one singular regional cuisine: pasta, olive oil, vegetables and oily fish varieties, are the four cardinal staples. The dishes prepared by Rosa Maria reflect this tradition, revised with imagination and the desire to experiment, in keeping with the ancient recipes.Our Cesarina offers dishes inextricably linked to products and raw materials of the island; Rosa Maria welcomes us in Palermo but invites us to discover the aromas and flavors of Favignana, of Ustica and of San Vito Lo Capo.

: A lovely experience with Rosa Maria and her husband Massimo and Cele.
: Amazing cooking class! So much fun, so much food, and Maria is an excellent host! Would recommend this to anyone visiting Palermo!
: We had an excellent time with Rosa Maria and her assistant - they are charming and fun. I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish it was interesting and informative, and Rosa Maria is an absolute delight. She taught us how to make pasta from scratch in her beautiful apartment, which has a most modern and spacious kitchen. The resulting eggplant dish and tiramisu desert were incredible. I've made Pasta Norma about 100 times before but now I know how to make it properly Grazie Rosa Maria! We look forward to a return visit!
: Rosa Maria’s pasta making class was the highlight of our stay in Palermo. The class was informative , hands on, and fun. After the pasta making and cooking, we sat down together like friends enjoying a wonderful meal and conversation. If you are looking to do something special when visiting Palermo, I highly recommend Rosa Maria’s pasta making class. Thank you Rosa for a wonderful time!
: Great market visit and cooking class together with Rosa Maria. We made delicious pasta alla Norma and pasta with ragu - and a ricotta roll for dessert. Everything was very good and I had a wonderful day together with Rosa Maria and her family.
