- Theodore R0 contributionsAmazing hospitality!Patrizia creates a warm friendly environment for all her guests. The food was amazing and comforting. After traveling for weeks, it felt so good to be taken care of as welcomed guests in her home as we learned how to cook authentic Sicilian food. She is a true joy. Time with Patrizia was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!Written 22 September 2024
- X8509AVdavidk0 contributionsCaponata HeavenOne of the best experiences on our Sicily trip, hands down. Patrizia has been a very knowledgeable guide, authentic and passionate about the art of Sicilian cuisine. You will learn much more than just cooking a meal. Highly recommend it!Written 12 September 2024
- Marie L0 contributionsA five star eveningVery nice and would recommend it for anyone looking for a lovely evening in Palermo! We were invited into her home, and learned a lot about how to make limoncello and typical Sicilian food.Written 9 September 2024
- Seb6789450 contributionsAmazing Sicilian cooking experienceI had the most wonderful and authentic experience cooking with Patrizia in her country house. The house is so charming and has the most amazing view of surrounding mountains and the sea. I learnt how to prepare Caponata, which is must in Sicilian cooking; simple yet so delicious. We then proceeded to prepare a pasta sauce and some fish, as well as canoli for dessert. I will cherish this experience forever and looking forward to recreate the recipes.Written 18 August 2024
- Travel407777352410 contributionsMust-try Sicilian Cooking Experience!Had a fantastic time with Patrizia learning about traditional Sicilian cuisine. We started the morning off gathering ingredients at a local market and got right into preparing a delicious four course meal in the home of our host. Can’t miss an experience like this one, great food and even better people.Written 4 August 2024
- S_at_Avalon0 contributionsPatrizia's welcoming table: delicious, delightful and divineWe could not have chosen a better way to start our Sicilian adventure. We met Patrizia at the market and we set off together through stall after stall loaded with wonderful fresh produce with Patrizia explaining her preferences and her choices. It was wonderful to have such a knowledgeable guide. Then back to her beautiful apartment opposite the Cathedral where Patrizia welcomed us warmly and mapped out a 4 course meal from all the amazing ingredients we bought and coached us through its preparation - while enjoying some excellent Sicilian wine and cheese of course. Patrizia is engaging, generous and understandably proud of her Sicilian heritage and cuisine and gives a wonderful education in both, culminating in a simple but delicious meal in a most welcoming, artistically beautiful home. We highly recommend this wonderful experience.Written 12 May 2024
- I1088KXevam0 contributionsRelaxing and Delicious Palermo Afternoon!My daughter and I booked the cooking class in Palermo with Patrizia last week and had such a wonderful time! I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and delicious break from site seeing. We met Patrizia and walked to the AMAZING market to pick our fresh seafood and dinner ingredients. The market was phenomenal, so much fresh seafood. We picked from what was in season and then casually walked back to Patrizia's charming place. We drank wine, ate cheese and made swordfish rolls, fresh pesto pasta, delicious artichokes and a sweet dessert with a Limoncello chaser (whatch out for that one!). Patrizia was such a great hostess, we had such a lovely time and agreed this was the best meal we had in Rome/Palermo. It was so fresh and so delicious! The experience was one we will not soon forget, I cannot recommend it more highly. Thank you Patrizia!Written 29 February 2024
- philicitivargas0 contributionsStudy Abroad ProgramMy college went to Sicily for a couple weeks and part of our itinerary was to take a cooking class and Patrizia was so warm and welcoming. She opened her home to us in such a friendly way and taught us how to make traditional Italian cuisine. We absolutely loved our experience!Written 30 January 2024
- U5856CQmiket0 contributionsBest part of our trip!I would highly recommend Siciliandays to anyone visiting! We had a great, welcoming experience with Patrizia. You feel like family and have an authentic, Sicilian experience. The food is excellent and it is so much fun. Definitely take time for a Siciliandays experience!Written 29 January 2024
- sbsamuel0 contributionsLovely evening filled with food, friends, laughter and Sicilian delicacies.This is what travel is all about. Spending time with interesting people, learning about their cultures, and cooking and enjoying absolutely delicious traditional foods. This cooking class was more than cooking. This was an experience on how to live like a true Sicilian. We enjoyed plentiful cheeses and wines. Learned about and prepared foods like meat and fish rolls and caponata. Most of all we enjoyed the company of a true Sicilian queen and aficionado, Patti! This evening was the perfect Palermo night and Patti’s home was friendly, inviting, and decorated beautifully. We were lucky enough to share the evening with some friendly folks and Patti’s lovely cats Nino & Bella. I would recommend this class to anyone visiting Palermo.Written 26 October 2023

- CLouTX0 contributionsOne of our best days in Palermo!We had the best day with Patrizia! This turned out to be one of our best experiences in Palermo! My husband is 3/4 Sicilian and we chose this class specifically for Sicilian recipes. We loved the experience, the food and the wine! Patrizia made us feel right at home in her apartment and was the perfect host! Can't wait to go back! PS...buy the cookbook! We did, and we're slowly making our way through all the recipes.Written 6 June 2023
- R3743RLstephenp0 contributionsIf you are on the fence, book this class!Patrizia was a great host for this cooking class! I recommend booking the morning time slots because the market is open and the food is fresh. Going to the market and purchasing the ingredients for the meal is part of the experience you don't want to miss! The class was very informative, also very relaxed and enjoyable. The food was outstanding!Written 3 January 2023

My friend an I had the best time learning about good Sicilian wines. Our host Patricia was the best. She paired our wines with some wonderful cheeses and even gave us some appetizers which was not part of the deal. The appetizers were delicious. We really enjoyed the experience and it was one of the best things about our trip.

Lovely host who had experienced knowledge of the fine grapes of Sicily, every wine we tasted had unuiqe characteristics and all was superb.
She described the taste, taking you on a historical trip through Sicily from the origin of the grapes, through the winemakers journey and finally to the expression of the bottles representing modern or rustic taste. This was paired with an array of tasty Sicialian cheeses. Last but not least, her lovely home where she makes you feel like family.
Mille grazie, Patrizia

This lunchtime wine and cheese tasting tour was the highlight of our stay in Palermo.
Patrizia welcomed us into her beautiful home and was so warm and friendly.
We sampled 6 wonderful wines from Sicily along with local cheeses and desert.
Beware of the Limoncello to finish!
Thank you so much Patrizia for your knowledge and hospitality.
We had the best time with you........

One of our favorite experiences of Palermo! It was easy to find, in a convenient location, and the space was so welcoming. The wine and cheese was delicious and the host was wonderful! She was friendly, fun and very knowledgeable. 10/10, I would recommend it time and time again...I would even consider going myself for a second time.

Beware of Cats in this tour!
We paid almost $1,000 for this for 4 of us and showed up to the 17th Century Building... AKA someone's home. There were two cats that we saw, cat hair all over the plates, cheese, and furniture!
The host didn't care that two of us were extremely allergic to cats and said we should have advised them when we booked and they asked if we had any FOOD allergies!
Didn't know cat was on the list of allergies we'd have to advise on.
She asked us multiple times to change our tour time. We booked through Viator and they only refunded us 50%.
If you love cats, this is the tour for you!

I invite all readers to read all the reviews and think about this. It is clearky a fake one, pretestuos, and not honest. You entered thinkink to go to a winery, inside a city and his historical center there cannot never be a winery! The description of the products is so clear. Before to book read if you are able to and be honest unless with yourself.
All our revies are 5 stars.
