We had the most wonderful time cooking and then sharing our meal with the Canto Family. First of all, Giuseppe even picked us up from our hotel! We were greeted so warmly they made us feel so welcomed, and I fell we became friends by the end of the evening. Beautiful Rosella, taught us to make pasta from scratch, and we learned of the delicious Christmas Cookie tradition, that I intend to incorporate this Christmas with my family. This is a must do when in Messina!Rosella and Giuseppe were warm, wonderful people. The meal we made together was so flavorful and the memory will be a cherished one for years to come.

We were welcomed into Daniela's home, learned about the culture, and even got to try some yummy Sicilian snacks before we dove in. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. This was the best part of our trip to Italy!!! Highly recommend!We had such a wonderful time with Maria, we instantly felt like we were hanging out with friends we had known a long time.

We booked this largely based upon other reviewers saying how it was the best excursion of their vacation. And now we would agree! We did this as a family and I agree with our son who said he liked that it was not touristy. We actually had to use Google translate to communicate! Our Cesarine, Mariella and her friend, Johnny were welcoming and kind but did not speak English! And it did not stop or hinder us all from learning how to make homemade stuffed raviolis and cannolis! We laughed cooked and had fun together! A truly authentic good time! Highly recommend!
