What You’ll Experience

Escape the tourist crowds and experience authentic Sicilian hospitality in a welcoming local home. This 1.5-hour hands-on pasta-making class offers a chance to step into a real Italian kitchen and learn the secrets of traditional fresh pasta from a passionate local host. Your experience begins with a warm Italian welcome, featuring a small appetizer and aperitif to introduce you to the flavors of Catania. Next, roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with the pasta-making process! Under expert guidance, you’ll mix, knead, and shape classic Italian pasta—whether it’s pappardelle, tagliatelle, or ravioli—using traditional Sicilian techniques. Once your pasta is ready, it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor! Gather around the table in a cozy home setting, raise a glass of complimentary wine (one bottle per three guests), and savor the incredible dish you’ve just created. If you’d like, end your meal with an optional homemade dessert or an espresso, just like the locals do. This is more than just a Catania cooking class—it’s a chance to connect, share, and take home a piece of Siciliy’s culinary heritage.
