Participants prepare a delightful three-course meal featuring handmade Ravioli con Tacchino with Pesto Trapanese, Pesce alla Ghiotta, and a classic Sicilian Cannoli. The experience starts with a tasty Olive Salad Crostini and is complemented by Italian red wine and freshly brewed espresso with lemon peel.
