What's the best opportunity to fully enjoy Sicily? We will prepare fresh tagliatelle with pesto from my garden (or alla norma) and typical Sicilian cannoli, starting everything with an aperitif with local products. I will therefore show you the secrets and recipes handed down by my grandparents in their ancient bakeries. Everything will take place in my house immersed in the Conca D'Oro and overlooking the beautiful city of Palermo. You will comeback home with a treasure of flavors and recipes handed down over time.

I had one of my all time favorite moments in my travels to Europe. My nieces and I took a private cooking class with Chef Carlo in his home in Palermo. We learned how to make homemade Italian cannolis and Basil Pesto. We had sandwiches and bruschetta for appetizers. Chef Carlo Di Bartolo was an excellent teacher and was assisted in the cooking class by his sister-in-law and mother-in-law. Chef Carlo showed us his gardens of basil, tomatoes, rosemary, olives, mandarins, and lemons and we got to pick tomatoes and basil that he used to make a delicious caprese salad for our lunch. Even though I love to cook, I have never made my own pasta. It always seemed too complicated, but it really isn’t. I enjoyed learning how to make pasta. The flour they use in Sicily is the same brand I use at home. The girls seemed to enjoy themselves. Breathtaking views during our class and great to cook with our “classmates”. Chef Carlo and his family were so incredibly welcoming and hospitable. Special culinary memories were made today in Palermo Italy. Highly recommend this class with a personal, family touch!

This was a such a fun experience to do as a family traveling with 2 kids who like to cook (12 and 7). Carlo and family are so kind and wonderful hosts. We prepared pasta and cannoli on the back deck and then ate and drank while enjoying the a gorgeous view. Carlo was so attentive to our comfort and went out of his way to find dairy-free options for my son. We loved every minute and my son was inspired to make pasta from scratch as soon as we returned home. Highly recommend spending part of your day with Carlo!

This was our favorite experience by far. Carlo was an amazing host and taught us so much about cooking in Sicily. We LOVED visiting his beautiful garden and learning how to make pasta and cannoli's. His hospitality was perfect and he also taught us so much about Sicily and family traditions. His wife also helped us with transportation to the location so it was one less thing to worry about. We are so happy that this was an option and will definitely do again!

INCREDIBLE experience. 5 stars does not do this justice. Carlo's home, family, and garden/farm were amazing and welcoming. The food was beyond expectation. We travelled with friends and kids aged 7-14. Carlo engaged them all and it was a phenomenal experience. The kids even ate all the food!!!!! I seriously cannot recommend this enough. There is easy booking, help arrange taxis, a tour of the garden, making pasta and cannoli from scratch, eating multiple times (sandwiches, sun dried tomatoes, bruschetta, pasta, cannoli, prosecco, wine, orange liquor...) and sharing recipes to go. This is great for kids, families, budding chefs, and novices alike. SERIOUSLY BOOK THIS TODAY!!!!!!!!
