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!

This 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.

Authentic 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

We 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!
Amazing experience

My wife and I had the most amazing time learning to make pasta with Consuelo! The class was small and hands on so you really get to learn the techniques and process. Consuelo was great instructor, it felt like a friend teaching us. Would highly recommend!
