Overview

Message us for tailored prices based on your group size and dietary needs, and ask about our special Christmas lunch in Palermo!

Not just a cooking class. A seat at Nonna’s table.

For a few hours, you’re not just visiting Sicily — you’re part of it.

With a maximum of 6 guests, our intimate experience brings you together with a real Sicilian nonna to cook her family recipes, hear her stories and discover traditions passed down through generations.

She’ll share family secrets and traditional techniques, while our host makes sure every story and cooking tip is understood.

And when the cooking ends, the "Dopopranzo" begins! We gather around the table, enjoy our homemade dishes and local wine, and share stories about food, family and life in Sicily.

Nonna will welcome you like family.

You arrive as a guest. You leave with a little piece of Sicily in your heart.

Buon appetito e salute!

What to expect

What makes our experience special is its authenticity. You are not simply following a standard cooking lesson with a chef — you are learning from a real Sicilian nonna, using recipes that belong to her family and have been passed down through generations.

The experience is deliberately small, with no more than 6 guests, allowing genuine interaction rather than a large-group, commercial atmosphere.

Every class is different because every Nonna has her own recipes, stories, personality and way of cooking.

We also believe food is a way to connect cultures. While cooking, guests are encouraged to share their own traditions, memories and stories, creating a genuine exchange between people from different parts of the world.

There is no scripted performance or tourist show, just real people, real family recipes and genuine Sicilian hospitality.
