Cooking Demo & Meal at a Local's Home in Messina

Consuelo was the best!! She was very hospitable and opened her home to my husband and I. The food was amazing- she prepared a wonderful menu! Some of our favorites that she cooked were the 2 types of meatballs, deviled eggs with tuna, and tiramisu!! Everything was so good though! We highly recommend this experience if you want to make the most out of your time in Messina

This was a really cool experience and the hospitality of our host, Rosella, and her family were outstanding. It was so memorable being able to spend time with a local Sicilian family and learn about their food and culture. We were running about 15 min late as we had trouble getting a taxi from the port and the family were very accomodating with this. They catered very well to gluten free (I have coeliac disease), preparing everything separately to other dishes. We were a bit surprised that for our cooking demo experience they were using packet pasta and the meals were almost complete with just plating and the boiling of pasta needing to be done. We weren’t sure if it would have been different if they weren’t trying to cater for gluten free as well and, in all fairness, 2.5 hours isn’t a lot of time for a full cooking demo & lunch. We would pitch this more as a lovely Italian lunch with a wonderful local family who treat you like good friends! A great experience in Messina!!
