Description

Good to Know

What makes this experience special is the atmosphere: you will enter a local's home and cook according to the "everyday" tradition.You won't find a demonstration, but a practical lesson where every guest actively participates, discovers traditions, and experiences the cuisine as a special moment.The goal is not just to learn recipes, but to bring with you an authentic memory of Sicily and the secrets of an ancient culture. The experience is perfect for small groups to ensure personal attention and a relaxed and friendly family atmosphere. Visit to the Ortigia Point of Sale available with breakfast (local products) and a complimentary cookbook.

Experience in small groups to ensure personal attention and a family atmosphere.

Teresa, born and raised in Syracuse, welcomes you into her home to share her family recipes and the authentic flavors of Sicilian cuisine. During this hands-on experience, you will prepare three different types of fresh pasta from scratch, using local flour, fresh eggs and seasonal ingredients. You will learn two traditional pasta doughs and three sauces, which may include fresh and seasonal vegetables, If there are any ingredients you don't like or prefer to avoid, please let Teresa know when you book. This is much more than a cooking class. You will discover local ingredients, traditional techniques and the secrets of Sicilian home cooking — just like cooking together in a family. Dopo cucinare, rilassati e goditi un bicchiere di vino locale e l'autentica ospitalità siciliana. You can also add a guided visit to the Ortigia Market, at an extra cost of €50 per person, payable in cash. If you are looking for a truly local experience, where you can cook, share and feel at home, this is the perfect way to experience Sicily. Looking for a place to stay in Ortigia? Teresa recommends "Casa Veneto Sea View" on Via Vittorio Veneto 197 — a comfortable, welcoming apartment.Ask Teresa for information.

Pleasant and educational experience!

Very pleasant welcome by the owner Teresa, a warm and friendly lady who immediately makes you feel at home. When we arrived, everything was nicely prepared, and we received clear explanations about the different types of flour to use for various pastas. Teresa showed us clearly with step-by-step instructions how to make 3 types of pasta and matching sauces, using fresh ingredients. A really fun and educational activity to do with the family (49-48-22-18), and after the preparation, it was cozy t...read more

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! I’m especially happy that you enjoyed the hands-on part of the experience and that my explanations made the different types of pasta easy and fun to learn. Seeing families cooking together, getting involved and discovering a little piece of our Sicilian traditions is one of the things I love most about what I do. It was a real pleasure to welcome you into my home and spend this time together. I hope you’ll take the recipes and memories of Sicily with you wherever you go! 🇮🇹 Follow me on Instagram: Teresa Zimmitti Cooking Experience Italia .

Fantastic Sicilian Cooking Class

My family and I had a one-of-a-kind experience with Teresa. A cooking class where we learned to make fresh pasta, including Ricotta stuffed ravioli and cavatelli. We also made traditional eggplant parmagiana, and a delicious almond cream/coffee tiramisu. We learned about traditional Sicilian cooking with fresh ingredients, including a ragu and tomato pesto sauce. Everything was fresh. Teresa is charming and warm. She was also very patient and taught us a lot about traditional Sicilian cooking. W...read more

A Fun Cooking Adventure.

A delightful experience. Theresa and her house were charming. Making the pastas, sauces, and other dishes was fun. Not a lot of cooking experience required. All delicious. Recipes to take home and easy to make.

Thank you, I'm glad everything gave you satisfaction. Pizza, pasta and tiramisu is the perfect menu for a nice cooking lesson in Sicily in September. Family recipes are always a success because they are genuine and the steps are simple.

Teresa makes you feel like family!

Our cooking class with Teresa was one of the highlights of our recent Mediterranean cruise!! The food was authentic, delicious and the instructions easy to follow. Teresa even sent us home with the recipes. I highly recommend even if you are only in town for a few hours!

Response from ViatorAugust 26, 2025

Thank you! It is a precious invitation to participate in my cooking class in the ARENELLA seaside area, 15 minutes from Syracuse. I hope from November to start the lessons also in the city in an apartment reachable from Ortigia in a 20-minute walk.
