The highlight of our trip. - We had the best time with Consuelo! She welcomed us to her beautiful home which felt almost like a fairy tale cottage with the fruit trees outside and the peacocks in the backyard. We got right to work making tiramisu, then ravioli and tagliatelle. My teen daughters LOVED learning to cook (it’s probably the longest that they have been off a screen in years!). Then we sat down for a delicious meal with Consuelo. All future pasta will pale in comparison to how amazing this food was. Neither of us spoke the other’s language well but we found ways to communicate. The best part is Consuelo’s absolutely adorable dog, Nina. Our kids loved petting her and playing with her. This was our favorite day of the trip by far. It felt like a chance to immerse yourself in the culture of Sicily. Don’t miss this wonderful experience.

Go for it! - The class was amazing! We were met at the ship, taken to our host's lovely home and enjoyed a great time making pasta, bread and tiramisu. It was wonderful to spend time with a native of Sicily and learn about the food and culture. We were so glad to have had this adventure.

Great experience! - This has been my favorite thing on my whole vacation!! My two teenage son's and I did the class. Our host picked us up from our crusie port for a little extra. Conseullo was great! She was so friendly and made the whole thing a great experience. She pulled off at a good spot to take pictures before going to her house. The food was great and there was so much food we left unable to eat another bite.

Daniela was amazing! - The experience was amazing! However, the communication about the location was unclear. We ended up at the wrong location as we received multiple names & incorrect locations. Our gracious host waited on us anyway. The experience description didn’t include tiramisu, but cannoli. It was a great experience, just wish the communication would’ve been better. It would’ve cut down on us being lost in a foreign country where most don’t speak English.
