Authentic Sicilian food from our hands to the table. - We had the pleasure of learning authentic Sicilian cooking from Maria, diving into handmade pasta in three different shapes, Sicilian pesto, and her grandmother’s meatball recipe. The pastry class was just as delightful, where we baked cannoli, cassatelle, and paste di mandorle.
Maria welcomed us into her apartment, which boasted a breathtaking view of ancient Syracuse. She expertly demonstrated each cooking technique before guiding us with patience, offering feedback along the way. With only two couples participating in the class, the atmosphere was cozy, allowing for individual attention.
Afterwards, a feast with our (mostly) successful creations, paired with a fruity Sicilian red wine. It was absolutely delicious.
We wholeheartedly recommend this experience — a great blend of authentic cooking, and Sicilian hospitality!

Fresh, Delicious Home Cooking - Maria Rita and her husband warmly welcomed us into their home. She was patient and wanted to be sure we were happy with a menu of our choice. I went with my 87 year old Mom and Maria Rita made sure to keep her happy. We thoroughly enjoyed the fresh pasta, Sicilian style pesto, peppers and onions and tiramisu we made under her guidance. The table was set beautifully overlooking the archaeological park. It was a lovely evening. We would definitely recommend Maria Rita for a fun meal you can make with her.

Authentic Sicilian cooking in a real Sicilian kitchen! - Maria Rita could not have been a more gracious hostess! We went ON Mother's Day and she welcomed us into our home like family. Her son even stopped by to drop off flowers and said hello / welcomed us as well.
All appropriate utensils and ingredients were waiting for us, and we made:
- Home made fresh pasta
---- She showed us multiple techniques and each of us chose the style we liked (or had ANY sense of how to make properly!)
- We chopped all the vegetables for an amazing Caponata that she cooked while we continued the pasta
- We made a TiraMasu cake, layering the ladyfingers and fresh creams into a decadent treat.
....served all together at her own table with wine of our choice.
This has been one of the best experiences of our trip so far.
PS - 100% recommend the 7 minute walk down the street to walk through the Neapolis Archeological park!

Amazing Sicilian Food and Experience - Maria’s cooking class is an amazing Sicilian experience. She was very warm and made us feel at home. She was very patient with us learning to make the fresh pasta and explained on all the other dishes we made. I was very impressed with her knowledge of Sicilian cooking.
The food turned out really delicious ! Thank you Maria for the Sicilian experience and the delicious pasta, swordfish, peppers , and Castatelle!

Pasta Cooking Class in Sicily - We spent a wonderful evening with friends at Maria's and had great pleasure in making our own Sicilian pasta, ravioli and tiramisu. The atmosphere was warm and time flew by. In addition to a lot of fun, we also learned a lot about the art of making pasta. Thank you very much, dear Mary, for this special experience!

An Authentic Delicious Afternoon - We had the most amazing experience with MariaRita at her beautiful home. She was a gracious host who welcomed us with beautiful appetizers and a well organized program. She patiently instructed us to make 3 different types of pasta and dessert, which we then enjoyed at a beautifully set table. We had so much fun and the food was unbelievably delicious. I would highly recommend this experience to friends and family!

Very nice and personal cooking class - Maria Rita is a very good hostess, we felt very comfortable with her. As the cooking course took place in her home, it was particularly personal and authentic.
We also really appreciated the fact that she took our vegan diet into consideration and came up with a four-course vegan menu.
We are looking forward to trying out the recipes at home.
