Siciliandays

If you want to experience “real Sicily” you must to spend an afternoon with Patricia Santonocito. Partake in authentic local wine, cheese and antipasti in an elegant apartment in the old town of Palermo. The experience will be the highlight of your trip. It is a pleasant adventure to locate her site amidst the highlights of historical Palermo.

We had a wonderful afternoon with Patrizia tasting Sicilian wine and cheese! She was an outstanding host and we would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Palermo. Looking forward to returning and taking a cooking class!

What a fantastic experience hosted by Patrizia in her home in Palermo. Six wines to taste along with cheese, olives, olive oil made by Patrizia , tapenade, and fresh bread. Would highly recommend for a truly Sicilian experience!

Her home was beautiful and we had a lovely class and lunch outside. She used fresh ingredients and involved our entire family. My girls, ages 11 and 17, were happy to help prepare the meal and the food was delicious! We will do this again!

Patrizia was so friendly and welcoming. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone!

I had the best day with Patrizia and her partner. Made me feel like part of a family for a day. Between the products, the scenery and the energy they brought. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much ❤️

We took a fantastic cooking class with Patrizia! I contacted her the night before the class and she responded promptly, fortunately she had a slot open the next morning. We started at the market buying fresh ingredients and then headed to her gorgeous apartment. We prepped the food while having wine and cheese over fun conversations. The multi-course meal was delicious! Patrizia is an expert instructor who made the experience fun for the whole family!

She was very accommodating as one of my daughter is a vegetarian and the other does not like seafood. We then went back to her lovely apartment to prep and cook our meals. Patrizia is great explaining everything and speaks multiple languages fluently. The lunch was fantastic! We also had an amazing cannoli for dessert. She has cats that love to play as well. I would highly recommend this experience! I felt like family and can’t wait to come back! I feel that a great way to experience the culture is by knowing how to cook authentic food.

We met Patrizia to shop in the Capo market for a delicious lunch. Patrizia welcomed us in her home to prepare the most wonderful meal. Patrizia was warm, friendly engaging and shared so much about her beloved Palermo. Meeting Patrizia, the cooking class and delicious lunch were certainly the highlights of our trip!
