"The activity was very nice, we arrived in a remote location and were greeted by Simona our host. We were made very welcome and after we picked up vegetables from the field we made fresh pasta, which we ate afterwards. The experience was very nice and what we expected."

About Ragusa Cooking Classes
A cooking class in Ragusa is a hands-on session with a local cook: you prepare a multi-course Italian meal from scratch — usually fresh pasta plus a main and dessert — then sit down to eat what you made, often with wine.
Ragusa brings Sicilian cooking — Arab-influenced sweet-and-sour flavors, seafood, citrus, and Etna produce.
Guest Reviews
What Travelers Say
"My brother and his wife joined me and my husband for this tour. We all had a delightful time cooking with Simona! We enjoyed relaxing and visiting with her, harvesting herbs and onions to go in our dish, and learning a new pasta shape! The entire afternoon was thoughtfully curated, and it was both relaxing and enjoyable. We especially enjoyed getting to know Simona and her family (and her pets, as we were missing ours!) as well as some traditional Sicilian customs. We left with hearts and bellies full! I highly recommend this experience! Thank you, Simona, for welcoming us into your beautiful home."
"Great fun meeting Simona and her other guests. We really enjoyed learning about growing vegetables and herbs in Sicily. Loved making pasta. Fantastic meal, very tasty, interesting conversation with people from around the world-a great day out-thank you !!"
"We really enjoyed our cooking class. Simona had a gentle and informative style to her teaching. We particularly liked the hands-on approach as it helps us remember how to do something. Thank you!"
"Had a great time!! An amazing experience with wonderful food"
