Chef Mimmo, Perfetto!

Wow, wow, wow! This was, by far, the best cooking experience we have ever booked. Mimmo, Little Chef and Mamma were just incredible hosts. Best meal we had in Sicily too! Wish we could give 6 stars!

Great time

Had a wonderful time! With the help of Chef, his mamma and trusty sous chefs, we made 2 pasta dishes and 1 amazing fish dish. While pasta dough was rising we were treated to tomatoes and mozzarella. Everyone was able to contribute - crushing tomatoes, picking basil off the stem, sautéing veggies. It was very hot- but thy gave us lots of beverages to cool down. We shared a nice meal outside with our new friends.

Wonderful experience from...

Wonderful experience from start to finish, was pleasantly surprised how much fun my husband and I had! We learned real techniques and recipes, as well as how to pick certain ingredients and how to prepare them to maximize flavor and time. Watching Mama Chef hand craft the pasta and then getting to try the techniques she taught- beautiful experience! Thank you to all!

Amazing!!!

This class was so much fun! We brought our daughter to Italy to experience the cuisine and this was the perfect class for it. They kept us entertained with cooking and eating and we learned so much! The food was amazing of course, and we were stuffed when we left. I would highly recommend taking this class… the chefs were so friendly and made our experience great.

Fantastic experience in Taormina - thoroughly recommend!

This was a fantastic experience from finding out about the produce in the local market to cooking our Italian lunch. We found everyone to be really friendly and we learnt a lot about making pasta which we look forward to practising at home. We also enjoyed the unlimited wine!

10 Years Later and Still Great

My wife and I did this cooking class 10yrs ago and decided this time to go back and bring the family. It's was as much fun and informative as we remembered and even better due to the change of venue to the waterfront. Chef Vittorio and Mom Francesca were personable and friendly, teaching us all patiently how to prepare fresh pasta, sauce, Swordfish and then cook. Cost wise it was worth every euro, in addition I want to commend the additional staff that was also very helpful and gracious to us all. If we get back to Sicily a third time, we will absolutely be doing this once again.
