Maria Rita the best teacher and hostess - It was a wonderful experience. We went with the family and had a great time.
Maria Rita is very hospitable, she totally opened her house to cook some rich Sicilian dishes. Not even the best restaurant eats so well and with the best company.
In class we made pasta, ravioli, parmigiana and tiramisu. All exquisite. We would repeat without hesitation.

Great for Team Building - It was a fantastic experience and highly recommended for team building activities.
We were a group of 8 colleagues and it was a very enjoyable experience. Maria Rita was a wonderful host, taking care of all of us with a smile on her face.
And she was very patient, required for a loud group like ours 😂
We cooked pasta, ravioli, meat and also cannoli as desert.
Value for money! And if we visit Sicily again, we’ll be visiting Maria Rita for another lesson.
We were also provided with a lot of photos after the activity.

Maria Rita’s fabulous cooking class - The class was amazing!! Maria Rita is such a lovely and fun host and her son Guiseppe was a great translator:) We had such a great time making pasta, Aracini and almond cookies. Maria Rita was so courteous and accommodating that we made Gluten free pasta and lactose free arancini. It was an absolutely delicious lunch. If you are in siracusa we would recommend you book this class and visit Maria Rita.
