Daniela was the best!

5.00We had the best experience cooking with Daniela in her beautiful home just a 20-minute walk from the port. She was so patient with our kids and made everyone feel like part of her family. The house was incredible, and the atmosphere so welcoming. Daniela prepared seasonal dishes, many personally curated by her and her family, which made the meal extra special. It was truly a memorable, authentic Sicilian experience — we loved every minute!
Truly a magical experience!

5.00Book this NOW!!! Most amazing thing we did on our 14 day cruise. We learned how and made the most delicious pasta and had the most amazing experience. Rossella and her husband Giuseppe are so friendly and hospitable and made us feel so welcome in their home. Rossella is also the most amazing cook! Book this tour! I promise you won't regret it!

5.00This was a highlight of our trip so far! Daniela was amazing! Her place was gorgeous and her hospitality was spectacular. It was just myself and my kids and she treated us like family! Do not hesitate to book this experience because you will feel the real authentic Sicilian love.

5.00Authentic Italian experience. We decided to do this versus a cruise excursion. Got to make spaghetti and talk with an amazing couple. I warn you do not eat before this event because appetizers, 3 types of pasta dishes and yummy dessert are a lot of food. We did the morning/lunch one and made it back to the cruise ship with plenty of time. Thank you Rosetta and Giuseppe for a great experience!
Fantastic experience with Daniela

5.00We had an amazing experience with Daniela. Her home is beautiful with stunning views from her terrace overlooking the city. She was so welcoming and had a picture perfect table scape waiting for us. We were offered plenty of cold water and wine along with local delicacies. She explained things to us about the area and typical food. Her demeanor with our kids could not have been better-patient, funny and kind. She taught us how to make two different types of dough for pasta dishes and a sweet filling for cannolis. All five of us had a chance to participate in the fun. We learned how to make cavatelli pasta and ravioli! After making our pasta, we left the kitchen to enjoy the terrace while Daniela made the finishing touches. We sampled three different types of pasta all that highlighted the Sicily area. We all enjoyed each dish. My kids (16, 14 and 9) all loved her ravioli the most! She then prepared cannolis table side for us. Such a memorable and wonderful experience. The kids said it’s by far one of the best things we’ve done in Italy. My only regret is not being able to eat more of it or take it home with me!! We were SO full. Daniela is fantastic and I highly recommend booking a cooking experience with her!
