Fabulous night in Palermo - I had the most delicious 4 course dinner prepared by Alice with a little help from me and husband Francesco. It was true Silician Style food cooked to perfection. The hosts made me feel very welcome in their home and we had a delightful night of chit chat, nice wine and even a tasting of Francesco’s Cherry liquor! Can highly recommend this adventure. Thank you Alice and

Palermo Appertif class was a wonderful look at Sicilian culture - Alice was a wonderful hostess! She and her husband shared many wonderful cooking tips and Sicilian facts. Her home was warm and welcoming- it was so fun to stand around her table and prepare appetizers! Our meal on the beautiful terrace will always be a great memory of delicious food and wonderful company!

Lovely experience! - We were paired with Francesca, who is such a lovely and warm person. We made our own pasta and tasted the delicious food at Francesca’s lovely home. We loved our experience and I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

Highly recommend, you won't regret it! - My family had a cooking class with Alice and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily! We made ravioli, busiate and cavatelli and three different sauces to go with them and all were delicious! Alice and Francesco were delightful! They even accommodated our fish/shellfish/tree nut allergies. Alice was a great instructor, the conversation was wonderful, their home was cute, comfortable, and easy to get to. It is in a great location, close enough to the city center that we were able to visit the Quattro Canti and the Capo Market before our class and easily walk to their home for the class. If we are ever in Palermo again, we will definitely do another class with Alice! Highly recommend, you won't regret it!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Alice and Francessco were wonderful! Food was AMAZING. Alice taught very well, she was very knowledgeable and communicated well. Both were very personable. If you are looking for an authentic Sicilian dining experience, want to learn Sicilian food, and enjoy meeting a wonderful Sicilian couple, you should do this!!

Traditional Sicilian food - Alice and her partner Francesco did a fantastic job and we really enjoyed the 2 evenings with them. Seasonal and natural cooking with old and traditional recipes is seldom to find and Alice and Francesco have specialized on that. We went twice and would have gone more often given the time. You find real tradition very seldom in our days. All the best to you both from Eva and Michael-back in Germany.

Wonderful experience wiith amazing people - Rosa is the kind of person you wish was your neighbour so you could pop by her for a chat and some delicious food in her cosy home every week. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of the time we had in her company, she is a great teacher and got us involved in the cooking from the start. Cooking some of her family recipes was great fun and we learnt so much. I will look back at our evening with her as one of the highlights of our vacation.

Unfortunately, we were... - Unfortunately, we were unaware that this involved climbing 6 flights of stairs. It would have been helpful to have had this information. We booked this specifically to have a personal exchange rather than cooking experience. Our expectation was that we would be able to learn more about life in the city and to share experiences as we would when we invite guests to our home. The lack of a major commonality of language didn't allow for the intimate informal experience that we were expecting. As a consequence, this felt awkward and uncomfortable.
