This was a great experience! Intimate, authentic and in a family home. Learned to make 2 pastas and tiramisu that tasted better than any I've ever had. Received appetizers and small tastings with wine, as well as a little to go gift at the end. A must do experience!
This was the best excursion we had on our Mediterranean cruise. We absolutely loved our time in the kitchen. The food was delicious and the hospitality was wonderful. We recommend this experience to anyone interested in Italian cuisine and the local culture. We were so excited we would love to do this again or the same experience in another city.

we had such an amazing time with stefania and her son alberto! the meal prep and food were both amazing, but their friendliness was the best part... they shared about family, culture, and what life is like... which made it all the more better. oh and ps, this is the BEST tiramisu you will ever try!!! book with stefania 😇
We had an absolutely amazing experience at this cooking class! We learned how to make fresh pasta and tiramisu from scratch, and everything turned out delicious. They were even able to accommodate my vegetarian diet! I was so grateful. The entire experience was fun, hands-on, and so well organized. What made it even more special was the wonderful family who hosted us. Everyone helped make us feel welcome, shared their knowledge and traditions, and created such a warm, friendly atmosphere. It truly felt like an authentic Sicilian experience rather than just a cooking class. If you’re looking to enjoy incredible food, learn traditional recipes, and experience genuine Sicilian hospitality, we couldn’t recommend this enough. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we’ll definitely remember it for years to come! Thank you for inviting us to your beautiful home!!
Maria was a lovely host but unfortunately we would not book this experience again or recommend to other families like ours. The house was 30+euro taxi ride away (and necessary to have uber to have a taxi back to port). The host spoke no English, and while we managed, it made for a very quiet and more-formal experience. 6 people was too big for her kitchen and space. Our group ranged from 12-68, and the kids would have more enjoyed something lively and fun. In July, the home was also not cool enough for 6 people plus host cooking in a small space. Viator should allow a request for an English speaking host if necessary. If recommended for a friend with children, I would suggest something more lively.
Amazing cooking class experience in family home in Messina. Class instructor was incredibly warm and we could feel her passion for the food and cooking.
This is a great way to immerse yourself in Italian culture. Stephani taught me how to make Tiramisu and pasta from scratch and the family participated. The daughter was the interpreter. While I enjoyed my food I talked with the children who are young adults and learnt about their life in Messina. This is the best tour I have done. I throughly enjoyed it and would totally recommend the experience,
Lots of fun making and eating. Learned a few things about making pasta. I actually bought a pasta making machine the next day
A wonderful Sunday afternoon spent with Stefania and her family, learned so much in 3 hours. Highly reccomended
We had such a lovely time with Stefania and her son! Perfect hosts for this experience(: they welcomed us in to their home and showed how to make two varieties of pasta dishes. They provided delicious appetizers including a fresh made focaccia and traditional Sicilian options to put with it. Not to mention the tiramisu she made for dessert was the best we’ve ever had!! During our lunch we were also given lots of recommendations for local places to see the views of Messina. I would recommend this experience to all! 10/10!
