My family had a wonderful time cooking with Francesca. The majority of the ingredients came directly from her garden, super fresh and tasty. We made pasta from scratch, forming it into three different shapes. We then made three different sauces, each one very delicious. We then enjoyed the fruits of our labor, accompanied by local wine. Francesca was very patient and helpful with my 11 year old grandson, who ate the most pasta of all. Great family experience!
It was a fun and educational experience. Francesca was a good teacher and made it a fun day. The pasta dishes were delicious. We will definitely try them at home
Francesca was a lovely host who had incredible knowledge to share with us and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We enjoyed making handmade pasta and cooking sauces using only fresh ingredients from her garden. The class was personal and informative, a perfect opportunity to learn about Sicilian food.
Pasta making with Francesca was absolutely lovely! She taught us 3 different pastas and sauces, at a good pace that kept everyone engaged and enjoying the class. We really did cook it all ourselves, and then we ate it all! Everything was fantastic. We brought the leftovers home and had it again for dinner the next day. Our group was age 7 to 50+ and we all had a great time.
Francesca is very friendly and humourous. She made the group instantly feel at ease and she is specifically good with children - there were two families as well as three extra adults in the group. We enjoyed learning all sorts of tricks and titbits about Sicilian cooking and made 3 different pasta dishes as well as 3 different sauces. It was excellent fun and the food was delicious. Î recommend this course to all interested in cooking and having a good family time together.
Francesca was awesome!! Loved her style and the learning experiences. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!!
Truly perfect, a generous experience with a wonderful person; we laughed a lot and the pasta was amazing! A perfect experience with our 2-year-old baby, thank you Francesca!
Francesca is wonderful. She opens her home to teach the art of Sicilian cooking. She starts her course with flour and eggs and we go from there. We made three different types of pasta and made three different dishes. All of them were superb. I HIGHLY recommend this excursion! It is a 30 minute urban drive from the docks and worth every second!
Francesca is an excellent teacher and chef. The three pasta cooking class (stuffed ravioli, cavatelli, fettuccine) were delicious, accommodating my family's dietary restrictions (vegan, but allergy and shellfish allergy). She is a warm hostess and very organized chef. Delightful and tasty!
Did this class in Sicily in May 2026 and it far exceeded my expectations! Francesca is a talented teacher and chef, and our group thoroughly enjoyed the process of learning multiple different pasta techniques and sauces in a convivial setting. Francesca was able to adapt the recipes to ensure it catered to both the meat eaters and our one vegetarian equally. Everything we made was delicious and the class left us feeling empowered to try it at home. Highly recommended!
