Best Way to Spend a Morning in Palermo
A wonderful experience with Patrizia. We experienced authentic shopping at the Capo market followed by a hands on cooking class in her home. During the entire experience, Patrizia was warm and friendly making us feel right at home in her place. She eagerly answered all of our questions and was patient with our less than perfect pasta making. The adventure ended with a delightful lunch and a chance to get to know our fellow classmates. This was our second visit to Sicilian Days (we joined a class on our last visit in 2018) and we hope to come back in the future for another.

Patrizia was the ultimate...
Patrizia was the ultimate hostess . From picking us up at the train station to sharing her beautiful country villa. The cooking experience was very intimate and so good. We will be back.
Response from the operator: I hope you will be back! Thank you Patrizia

A must for your visit to Palermo

Cooking class in beautiful surroundings!
A small group of friends joined Patrizia for a Sicilian cooking class. The setting was stunning and the food delicious. Patrizia had beautiful music playing and we drank wine while we made pasta. This was a highlight of our two week trip to Sicily. We could not have asked for a better day! I highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Hello! Thanks forbthe amazing review, you made the group and everything so beautiful! Thanks a lot for your kindness, hopefully we will meet in my countryside home in the next future! LOL

Never happened and no refund yet
I was the only one who signed up and the chef was supposed to cancel the class The chef refused to cancel because she didn't want to issue me a refund for the class. The class never happened and I still haven't received my full refund yet.
Response from the operator: Because the facts mentioned are clearly not true we list the real events: 1) we received the booking and contact the guest to ask if She has any allergies or food preferences because in the afternoon the market is not very active and so we buy the food in the morning ( she booked an afternoon session ) 2) we inform guest that it will be a private class for her because she will be the only one. That' s why we like to give the chance to whom is travelling lonely to book just for one person and we accept it, most of other companies not and cancel, this choice has been always appreciated by all our guests! 3) when she realizes to be the only one because we inform her ( and it is not a duty, but it is our professionality, she decides to cancel, but on viator is not possible to cancel last minute 4) she contacted viator to cancel and viator contacted us to have the permission to cancel. We could have said no because out of the rules, but we said yes to refund less the ingredients she had asked to buy for herself. For all these real facts what it is described by this person is totally unfair and fake, so I ask Viator to take distances and legal actions against people like these who could ruin and damage the good reputation of companies like ours. Waiting for a formal replay. Patrizia Owner and Executive Manager for Siciliandays.com

Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Palermo.
How much does Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class cost?
+
Prices start at $183 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Palermo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Palermo is not rushed.
Is Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Palermo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Palermo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Palermo and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Palermo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Palermo?
+
On Outty we rank every Palermo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Palermo Pizza and Gelato Cooking Class with Meal and Wine, Palermo Food Tour: 10+ Tastings of Arancini, Cannoli, Wine & More, The Original Palermo Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive!). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Palermo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Palermo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class?
+
Included: Preparation of 3 different pasta dishes and dessert; Lunch; Delicious meal of prepared dishes together with wine and water; Beverages; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class?
+
H 09:30 a.m. nearby the bar Porta Carini, entrance gate to Capo Market Because Market in the afternoon is closed for the afternoon class at 05,00 p.m. we meet at the location in via Vittorio Emanuele. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Handmade Sicilian Pasta Cooking Class?
+
