Private Catania Pasta-Making Class in a Local Home by Cesarine

About this tour

Roll up your sleeves in a Catanian home kitchen for a three-hour pasta masterclass with a local cook who'll walk you through three regional signatures from scratch. You'll work at your own station, hands in the dough, then sit down to eat what you've made alongside Sicilian reds and whites. Cesarine connects travellers with home cooks across Italy—these are genuine hosts opening their kitchens, not a commercial setup.

Highlights

• Shape three authentic Catanian pasta recipes from dough to plate
• Private one-on-one instruction in a working home kitchen
• Eat your creations with local wine pairings
• Access to full equipment and ingredients at your workstation
• Learn regional tricks passed down through local families
• Water, wine, and coffee included throughout

What to expect

You'll arrive at your host's home and receive a brief welcome before moving to the kitchen. The cook will demonstrate each pasta shape and technique, then you'll replicate it at your own station with guidance on hand. Expect flour under your fingernails and a few wonky shapes—that's the point. Once all three are complete, you'll gather at the table to taste your work with wine and water. The whole thing flows naturally; there's no lecture theatre energy, just someone who knows their craft sharing it.

Good to know

Wear something you don't mind getting messy. The home is accessible by local transport. Bring an appetite; you'll eat properly. Let your host know about dietary restrictions when booking.
