Mariella House

Mariella, nos dio una clase excepcional de cocina siciliana, nos enseñó cómo preparar pasta a la Norma y Tiramisú. Celebramos el cumpleaños de mi hija y fue una ocasión especial. Mariella y Gino nos hicieron sentir en casa desde el momento en que llegamos. La atención al detalle hizo la diferencia. Aprendimos mucho de las costumbres sicilianas y no queríamos que se acabara. Le tenia velas para cantar cumpleaños a mi hija. Sin ninguna una de las mejoras experiencias del viaje. Si tiene la oportunidad tomen la experiencia de cocina con Mariella, será el punto alto de su viaje.

We had a great time during our cooking class in Catania with Mariella. Mariella welcomed us into her beautiful home graciously with her husband Gino. We enjoyed learning how to cook traditional Sicilian pasta with dessert and enjoyed appetizers and wine with the experience. Such a unique opportunity to be welcomed into a local's home and experience both cooking and sharing a meal together. It was one of our favorite parts of our vacation! I would highly recommend to other travelers!

This is a ship-themed house, and a lovely Mariella with a smile will welcome you. The Sicilian vegetables carefully selected by her were fresh and delicious. When the lesson begins, Mariella will give you step-by-step instructions, and you can create your own original pizza by arranging as many ingredients as you like on the pizza dough she has prepared. Once it’s done, let’s all taste it! You can spend a relaxing time chatting in a friendly atmosphere and sometimes looking out at the ocean from the window. I hope everyone will enjoy their time with Mariella, who has a wonderful smile.

The pizzas we prepared (alla Norma and with pistachio) were very tasty with Sicilian grains, fresh vegetables and pistachios from Bronte. Mariella was very welcoming and the course was awesome! I highly recommend it.

If you come to Catania, come and give it a try. Because it will be a very special experience

We made pizzas with three different types of dough, including one with ancient Sicilian grains, which was super cool. The pizzas we made, like Pizza alla Norma and Pistachio Pizza, were delicious. Mariella was really welcoming and made the whole process fun and easy to follow. This class was a fantastic way to spend an evening, I highly recommend it!

During our trip to Sicily we enjoyed a fantastic afternoon, cooking at Mariella's lovely home. Mariella and Masumi welcomed us warmly and taught us how to make traditional dishes. After cooking we enjoyed the delicious meal at the table. This experience was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip.

Mariella was not only knowledgeable about the local ingredients and their history but also incredibly passionate about Sicilian cuisine. The market tour itself was a feast for the senses, with her explaining the significance of each ingredient we encountered. The culinary class that followed was the highlight of the day. We learned how to prepare traditional Sicilian dishes from scratch, using the ingredients we had just purchased at the market. The best part was sitting down together to enjoy the meal we had prepared, accompanied by local wine and good conversation. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Catania who wants to explore the local food scene in a meaningful way.
