Messina, Italy
View on Google MapsThis 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.
The Cesarine cooking class in Sicily was such a great experience! Our host was amazing. The family team worked together to host the event. They were super welcoming, fun, and clearly passionate about sharing classic Italian food and traditions. The food we made was delicious, and the whole thing felt very authentic. The only downside was dealing with Viator. Some last-minute changes were made to my booking without my say, and when I tried to get answers, their customer support was slow and not very helpful. I was fortunate enough to have a data service to my travels or else I would have missed the email notice that my booking was impacted. All of it added unnecessary stress before what should have been a fun activity. Overall, I’d totally recommend the class itself because the host made it fantastic. Just be prepared that Viator’s customer service might not have your back if something unexpected comes up.
It’s a comfortable and fun environment. Easy to find and we learned a lot! We learned how to make 3 different types of pasta that we will be making upon arriving home,
We felt like we were in our grandmother’s home and were just as welcomed. Mariela taught us how to make pasta, pesto, ravioli, focaccia and she prepared some other tasty dishes, too. She picked us up at the port and gave us a little history of the town. Her English was limited but Google translate made for perfect communication.
