Sicilian cooking you’ll want to re recreate - Fabulous night with delicious food, lots of wine & great conversation! Arriving in Patrizia’s home is like catching up with an old friend, she is so warm & welcoming. Together we made 4 typical Sicilian dishes that I’ve easily recreated again now I’m home. The actual cooking was simple enough for any aspiring cook but the results were delicious. Highlight of our time in Sicily.

A great pleasure - Patrizia is warm, charming, a loving host and a fabulous cook! She shares her beautiful home with her students and gives one a feeling of both comfort and adventure, sharing wine and food together.

A five star evening - Very nice and would recommend it for anyone looking for a lovely evening in Palermo! We were invited into her home, and learned a lot about how to make limoncello and typical Sicilian food.

Amazing menu and Good Company - We had an amazing time cooking and visiting with Patrizia, Giuliana, and of course Nino and Bella (the cats). It was like visiting with “old” new friends. The menu was perfect and delicious! It brought us back to home cooking with our Nonna!! We didn’t take home a bottle of limoncello but, that was ok with us! We will definitely be back to visit and cook again! See you soon Patrizia!

Incredibly satisfying tour! - Our tour guide, Alex was amazing! He was as entertaining as he was educational! We learned so much in such a short time, we could have enjoyed the entire day with him. I would positively recommend this tour! We left with full bellies and smiles on our faces!

Lovely evening filled with food, friends, laughter and Sicilian delicacies. - This is what travel is all about. Spending time with interesting people, learning about their cultures, and cooking and enjoying absolutely delicious traditional foods. This cooking class was more than cooking. This was an experience on how to live like a true Sicilian. We enjoyed plentiful cheeses and wines. Learned about and prepared foods like meat and fish rolls and caponata. Most of all we enjoyed the company of a true Sicilian queen and aficionado, Patti! This evening was the perfect Palermo night and Patti’s home was friendly, inviting, and decorated beautifully. We were lucky enough to share the evening with some friendly folks and Patti’s lovely cats Nino & Bella. I would recommend this class to anyone visiting Palermo.

Not a cooking class & no limoncello making - This is not a cooking class and certainly not worth the price tag. Overall disappointing, ignored by the host for long stretches of time in her home, no attention paid to the food produced. Recipes were promised and not provided. No limoncello making or bottle to take home. No history of the cuisine, very short market visit which added nothing to the experience other than carrying shopping bags.
