Mariella was born and raised in Catania, and after working in the confectionery and gift sector for 35 years, she has now decided to dedicate herself to cooking. She is so excited to share her passion for food with travelers visiting Italy. At Mariella’s home you will get glimpse into Sicilian cuisine.
