Reviews
Unique experience but not at a level of what we paid for. Chef was very nice.Susan_D
We really enjoyed meeting our cook. Very friendly and knowledgeable. However there is a disconnect between the chefs and the third party who represents them and Viator. First they can't directly contact you for directions. We booked an experience within 5 miles of our hotel. We ended up having to drive 20 miles plus. Also we paid an amount expecting a meal based on what we paid. Sadly the cessarine had a budget one third of what we paid. Food was good
and experience unique but not at a level we paid for.
Cooking with Teresa ZimmitticathyrR159SF
We had a wonderful time cooking with Teresa. She made us Sicilian spaghetti, an empanada with spinach, some sourdough bread, chocolate salami, and finished off with her special tiramisu. While we both struggled a bit with languages, the IPhones worked well.
She was very knowledgeable about the markets in Ortigia and found us many snacks to try during our market tour.
She can also cook wonderful fish dinners. Her stuffed squid I’d fun to prepare and even more scrumptious to eat! She welcomed us into her house but can also cook at your location if you have basic cooking tools and utensils.
Don’t miss an opportunity to cook with Teresa. You get a real feel of local life in Sicily by availing yourself of the opportunity to cook with Teresa.
Deplorable response from TripadvisorExplorer787045
I booked this visit and paid close to 1000kr. In the evening I went to the address I got through Tripadvisor, but when I got there, there was no one there to receive me to the Dining Experience. I had to go back home without getting anything for my 1000kr. I wrote to Tripadvisor and told them what happened, but they didn't even reply to my letter.
