Great instruction on how to make pasta, sauce, pesto, and gelato. Three hours flew by. Great activity for a family.
Marcell created us such a wonderful experience. We started lunch and while the sauce was simmering and the rice was cooling we walked a very short walk to the market. We returned to make arancina, homemade pasta and cannolis. Lunch was delicious. He made the class fun and hands on.
Salvi our cook was so much fun. He explained every in detail. The market trip was a blast. The food we cooked was delicious. I recommend.
What a fabulous day! Marcello was a great host and chef and we had so much fun. The food was so tasty . Great trip to the market too. Highly recommend
Loved this experience! I previously did a class with Towns of Italy in Florence on a different vacation which lead me to booking this class in Palermo. It’s a bright, clean kitchen with others. Yet you still feel the private experience sitting with your group, cooking together, enjoying the food and drinking wine. Highly recommend! Will continue booking with them in other cities :)
The cooking class with Salvo was absolutely fantastic and one of the best experiences of my Sicily trip! Salvo is not only an excellent cook, but also a fantastic host with an incredible amount of passion and patience. I prepared traditional Sicilian dishes and learned a great many useful tips and tricks for home along the way. The atmosphere was super relaxed, fun, and warm. Enjoying the home-cooked meal with a glass of wine at the end was the perfect conclusion. Anyone who wants to taste and experience the real Sicily must book a class with Salvo. Thank you for this wonderful day, Salvo!
Salvatore was amazing! We learned a lot and had fun and of course ate a very delicious meal!
Sal was an excellent guide and chef! We enjoyed learning how to make arancini, pasta Norma and cannoli! We also liked our short tour of the Capo market. Viator made us sound like we would be shopping for our cooking supplies but it was really a short tour about the market.
What a great time it was to go to market and taste test different foods that you might not have tried. Making pasta was so much fun and learning different techniques and learning about different types of ingredients. Thank you Salvo.
Nadia was wonderfull. She explained everything Very well.
