This is what travel is all about. Spending time with interesting people, learning about their cultures, and cooking and enjoying absolutely delicious traditional foods. This cooking class was more than cooking. This was an experience on how to live like a true Sicilian. We enjoyed plentiful cheeses and wines. Learned about and prepared foods like meat and fish rolls and caponata. Most of all we enjoyed the company of a true Sicilian queen and aficionado, Patti! This evening was the perfect Palermo night and Patti’s home was friendly, inviting, and decorated beautifully. We were lucky enough to share the evening with some friendly folks and Patti’s lovely cats Nino & Bella. I would recommend this class to anyone visiting Palermo.

Relaxing and informative cooking experience with a lovely host in her lovely house. *2 cats so be aware of allergies

The host was very friendly and shared alit of knowledge about Italy and Italian cooking. The group was fun and we were all very interactive.

This is not a cooking class and certainly not worth the price tag. Overall disappointing, ignored by the host for long stretches of time in her home, no attention paid to the food produced. Recipes were promised and not provided. No limoncello making or bottle to take home. No history of the cuisine, very short market visit which added nothing to the experience other than carrying shopping bags.

We had a great time cooking with Patrizia. We all helped her in cooking a delicious meal. We learned to make amazing meals. She had a lovely home and explained the cooking process. I highly recommend this tour.

Patrizia is a wonderful tour guide, host, and cook! We had 4 kids with us ages 3, 4, 6 and 12 - and she made it so much fun for all of them and for us. The meal we cooked was delicious!

Patrizia was warm and friendly. We met at the fantastic Capo market and decided on main course the selected and shopped for items for our meal. We went to her aprrmenr to cook and discuss traditional foods. Our group was enjoyable. My family of four really enjoyed the experience. It was relaxing and delicious. We also enjoyed the two cats!! 😄

Making pasta is a new trick for me, and the sword fish rolls were wonderful! To my new friends from Philadelphia, and New York, thank you, as you all made it so much fun! Hope to see you in Chicago please remember, Go Bears! Mike

Geoffrey_P

Great atmosphere with Pat and group. Recommend it to everyone. Plenty of wine and great food. We all went with the roll of the night and Pat kept the atmosphere and food going as well. Excellent night!

Katherine_C

We traveled to Palermo with our family of 6 - grandparents to young adults and we loved this tour! Patrizia is a gracious, warm and welcoming host and made our afternoon exploring the Capo market and cooking an authentic Sicilian feast the highlight of our trip! Our meal was delicious - can’t wait to try our new pasta making skills at home!
