Best Authentic Experience in Messina! - My husband and I took this Cesarine cooking class in July 2024 with Rossella. We learned how to make ravioli (with butter and parmigiano), spaghetti (with pomodoro and basil), hand fettuccine (with pesto). This experience is something we will always remember and cherish. Both Rossella and her husband (Giuseppe) were very accommodating, friendly, and kind. A must-do when visiting Messina! We already ordered a pasta machine of our own to recreate these delicious recipes at home! Brava Rossella! Grazie!

Amazing Italian Cooking Experience! - What an amazing experience!! My husband and I had such an amazing time learning to cook classic Italian dishes! Cesarine picked us up and brought us to her beautiful home where we spent the afternoon learning from her! She was honestly the sweetest woman who had a great sense of humor and was very informative about all things Naples and cooking! This was by far the best part of our vacation!!

A wonderful culinary experience - If I could give this more stars, I would. What amazing memories we made!! Consuelo picked us up at the port and took us for a brief tour before we went to her home. She made us feel so welcome from the moment we met her. She is such a warm person and a wonderful teacher. The food we made was amazing and she prepared an aperitif and additional side dishes. We were so full!! Consuelo dropped us back at the cruise ship afterwards. My 12 year old son and husband had an amazing time and my son is anxious to go home and experiment with what he learned. This was definitely a highlight of our vacation.

Bravissimo! - Consuelo was the nicest and most gracious hostess! She taught us all about the culture of Sicily and Messina as well as providing an amazing gourmet food experience! She is a fantastic chef and generously provided us with a 5 course traditional meal. We learned how to make pasta from scratch as well! We will always remember and cherish this wonderful experience!

A unique pasta making experience - Rossella and her family welcomed us into their home for a pasta making experience. We enjoyed making 3 types of pasta with the expert guidance of Rossella. While making the pasta we enjoyed conversing with 3 generations of Rossella’s family. The pasta was delicious and the experience a lot of fun. I would recommend this to others who are looking for a unique experience while in Messina!

Mama’s home was lovely and she was very hospitable. We enjoyed every minute!

Amazing!! - 100% recommend this tour if you are looking for a true authentic experience, we had such an amazing time with Mariella and her family learning their family recipes and learning how to make pasta! We speak very very little Italian but host makes very good use of google translate! Meeting point is a very close walk to cruise port (10 minutes) and then you drive with host to her house!
