    My 19 year old daughter and I had the BEST time cooking with Silvia and her daughter. The food was absolutely delicious. They made us feel like part of the family and had tons of laughs. We really enjoyed learning how to make home made pasta, sauce and Cannoli's. It was the BEST FOOD I had on my entire trip. XOXO until we meet again.

    Cooking with Gilda
    Carolyn_T, Sep 2023
    We felt like we were feasting with family in Gilda’s beautiful summer kitchen. She is loving and welcoming and the most amazing cook! We learned so much about Sicilian cooking and family life during a relaxing day in Gilda’s home. A don’t-miss experience!

    Great class! Beautiful, easy, delicious food to make and eat. Cesarina is gracious and lovey. Her son, who translates for her, is charming and sweet. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone traveling in the area. You won’t be disappointed!
    A Unique Experience
    Neil_L, May 2023
    We had a wonderful experience. Maria Rita and her family opened their home for us and made us feel very comfortable. It was unique to see how Sicilian’s live and cook. A great and warm experience for us.
    Highly recommend!

    Our cooking class was with Maria Rita and she was wonderful! Not only did we learn how to make a delicious meal, but we learned about some Italian culture as well!
    Cooking lessons with Teresa in Siracusa
    Wolfgang_H, Jul 2022
    What an incredible experience! Teresa told us so many things while walking through the Siracusa market and while preparing dishes! We learned so much with her. You have a morning or an afternoon available while visiting Siracusa? Well, you MUST take that cooking lesson with her! You will not regret it! Grazie mille Teresa!
    Delicious and fun

    Our instructor was so kind in helping us learn how to roll out the dough and fold the pasta into ravioli. She was very helpful and used Google translate to help us understand what to do. It was a very good experience. I would recommend this to anyone, no matter what your cooking skills are.
