Siracusa Cooking Class & Market Tour with Lunch

More than a cooking class. Become part of a Sicilian family for one day!

Our day begins in the vibrant market of Ortigia, where Anna is greeted like an old friend and introduces you to the families who have worked these stalls for generations. Together you’ll discover the stories, traditions and little secrets hidden behind every ingredient, from why one tomato is sweeter than another to the centuries-old history of Sicilian cheeses, seafood, and the extraordinary seasonal vegetables that make Sicilian cuisine so unique. You’ll choose the freshest seasonal produce before heading to the kitchen for a completely hands-on cooking experience. Roll up your sleeves, make fresh pasta entirely from scratch, prepare authentic Sicilian family recipes, and learn the techniques that local families still use at home. Then it’s time to gather around the table, where Francesco will welcome you with a glass of Sicilian wine and share stories of his family’s fishing heritage, while you enjoy a long, relaxed lunch filled with laughter, unforgettable flavours, and the warmth of true Sicilian hospitality

Reviews

We had a wonderful time.

Everything was delicious, and we really enjoyed the cooking class. Making fresh Sicilian pasta was such a fun experience, and the strawberry granita was my favorite!

It was a truly memorable experience, and we will always remember this special day in Sicily.

Cooking is all about sharing your love with others

My dream is to communicate Sicilian culture through food: telling stories about each recipe and teaching others about ingredients, their origins, and how they fuse together to transform a simple dish in a small masterpiece.

Immerse yourself in the sights and smells of Sicily.

My cooking school is in the very heart of Ortigia island, the old city center of Siracusa. We'll walk from the market, past Greek ruins and through picturesque alleyways to get to the cooking school.
