How to make pasta with family! - This was one of my favorite experiences on vacation. We felt like we were with family learning new family recipes. Everyone was so helpful and very nice. The pasta was great and I can’t wait to share with my family.

Delicious, fun and intimate. - This was a fun way to try local food at the home of a local person. We enjoyed learning how to make homemade pasta and thoroughly enjoyed the private setting vs. another group city tour. The food was absolutely delicious and Maria was very sweet and an excellent chef.

Excellent lunch and hospitality. - The news the beat authentic experience we have had on our cruise so far. Consuelo was outstanding. She picked us up at the dock, gave us a tour of Messina on the way to her home. We made 3 pasta dishes and then sat at her dining room table and enjoyed what we had prepared. I would HIGHLY recommend this Viatour Activity.

Celebrating Italian Style - This was a wonderful experience not only making and eating Italian food, but having the opportunity to see how an Italian family lives. My son and daughter-in-law celebrated their 10th anniversary with this wonderful family. They were treated to wonderful hor d'oeuvres, wine, dessert, and the opportunity to make 3 kinds of pasta. They shared not only great food but much laughter and friendship.

Cesarine is great! Viator is not. - The Cesarine cooking class in Sicily was such a great experience! Our host was amazing. The family team worked together to host the event. They were super welcoming, fun, and clearly passionate about sharing classic Italian food and traditions. The food we made was delicious, and the whole thing felt very authentic. The only downside was dealing with Viator. Some last-minute changes were made to my booking without my say, and when I tried to get answers, their customer support was slow and not very helpful. I was fortunate enough to have a data service to my travels or else I would have missed the email notice that my booking was impacted. All of it added unnecessary stress before what should have been a fun activity. Overall, I’d totally recommend the class itself because the host made it fantastic. Just be prepared that Viator’s customer service might not have your back if something unexpected comes up.

Lunch at Grandma’s house - We felt like we were in our grandmother’s home and were just as welcomed. Mariela taught us how to make pasta, pesto, ravioli, focaccia and she prepared some other tasty dishes, too. She picked us up at the port and gave us a little history of the town. Her English was limited but Google translate made for perfect communication.

Daniela was the best! - We had the best experience cooking with Daniela in her beautiful home just a 20-minute walk from the port. She was so patient with our kids and made everyone feel like part of her family. The house was incredible, and the atmosphere so welcoming. Daniela prepared seasonal dishes, many personally curated by her and her family, which made the meal extra special. It was truly a memorable, authentic Sicilian experience — we loved every minute!
