Messina : Private Pasta-Klasse mit einem Einheimischen von Cesarine

Maria was fantastic! We were able to walk to her place from the cruise ship. Only downside was no air conditioning, but that’s pretty normal in Italy. We learned to make pasta and had a wonderful lunch.

My two daughters (aged 26 and 20) and I had an amazing experience with Marcella. She picked us up close to the cruise port. We drove to her home. We made homemade pasta, spinach pasta, ravioli, pesto, pomodora sauce, eggplant Parmiginon and a pudding style dessert. She prepared 2 of her favorite dishes to share with us. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed being in the home of a true Sicilian of 60 years. She only speaks Italian but we had no issues with Google translate. Nothing fancy but definitely authentic if this is what you're looking for

This activity was a highlight of our trip to the Mediterranean. Daniela was a fantastic host. We enjoyed the hands-on experience of making pasta and we learned so much from her about that process, as well as the history of the area and her experiences. She is so gracious and has a wonderful way of making you feel instantly comfortable, as if you are part of her family and sharing a family meal. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience!

This was a wonderful class. Our hostess, Daniela, was warm and welcoming and more than happy to answer questions. Visiting her home was a treat. She greeted us with wine and appetizers which we were able to snack on as we prepared our pasta dough. We made dough from both flour and semolina and then formed cavatelli, ravioli, and pappardelli. The meal was delicious and ended with a mouth-watering homemade canoli!

This was one of our favorite excursions we booked on a 2+ week vacation. It is such a personal experience with the instructor and truly amazing to be welcomed into someone’s home and cook with them. Our instructor was Consuelo and she was the loveliest person, so sweet and informative! She picked us up from our cruise port and drove us around including showing us some sights for a small extra fee, so worth it!! The food we made was absolutely phenomenal and we have the recipes and tons of photos courtesy of Consuelo so we can relive the experience. If you are in Messina this is a must book experience. Truly worth every penny.

This was one of my favorite experiences on vacation. We felt like we were with family learning new family recipes. Everyone was so helpful and very nice. The pasta was great and I can’t wait to share with my family.

This was a fun way to try local food at the home of a local person. We enjoyed learning how to make homemade pasta and thoroughly enjoyed the private setting vs. another group city tour. The food was absolutely delicious and Maria was very sweet and an excellent chef.

The news the beat authentic experience we have had on our cruise so far. Consuelo was outstanding. She picked us up at the dock, gave us a tour of Messina on the way to her home. We made 3 pasta dishes and then sat at her dining room table and enjoyed what we had prepared. I would HIGHLY recommend this Viatour Activity.

Rosella and her husband Guiseppe were wonderful hosts!! It was just me and my husband, we had a very personal experience. The food we made was soooo good and they made us feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend!

This was a wonderful experience not only making and eating Italian food, but having the opportunity to see how an Italian family lives. My son and daughter-in-law celebrated their 10th anniversary with this wonderful family. They were treated to wonderful hor d'oeuvres, wine, dessert, and the opportunity to make 3 kinds of pasta. They shared not only great food but much laughter and friendship.
