Experience Details

Launch Offer!


€65pp for groups of 5! Travelling Solo/couple? No problema. Message us to join others for the same rate! Higher rates for smaller groups. Pick-up from Palermo city center included!


Five Guests, One Nonna, One Unforgettable Table.


We believe the best flavors come from the best company. We intentionally keep your classes tiny—just 5 guests—to ensure you aren't just a face in a crowd.


The uniqueness lies in the "Dopopranzo" (the time after the meal). We don't just cook and leave; we sit, we share local wine, we tell stories of old Palermo as a family.


The experience begins with a warm welcome, as Nonna shares the heritage of the menu. Then, the dance begins. With step-by-step guidance, you will cook side-by-side with Nonna, learning the family secrets of cuisine. The host stays by her side throughout, ensuring every technique and story is shared.


The finale: we sit together to enjoy the authentic meal you prepared with the nonna.


Buon appetito e salute!
