Great guide and great pizza!
We had a great time on this excursion with direct pickup from Messina Port. Our guide Lillo was absolutely fantastic and shared great knowledge about the area both on the way into Taormina and once we got there including what to see and what to eat after the pizza and pasta making class. The class itself was wonderful and the pizza was delicious, with fresh ingredients used and simple directions. We got a copy of the recipe to bring home along with a certificate of completion. Our driver Sandro was great and got us to and from the port safely. Would highly recommend 10 out of 10!

Excellent pizza and pasta making experience!
Excellent excursion! Claudette was our guide and she was amazing! We were picked up at our ship terminal and were taken to Taormina for the pizza and pasta making. The restaurant staff was just as amazing and helpful. After the cooking class we had time to shop & explore! I would highly recommend this!

Amazing and perfect experience
I can’t say enough good things about this tour and the restaurant. The entire experience was unbelievable. The staff at the restaurant were so hospitable and accommodating. Plenty of food for the everyone. Several nice surprises that added to the experience from the restaurant staff made it all unforgettable. Will gladly return.

Great Experience
We had such a great experience with our tour and cooking class at Porta Messina Restorante! Our guide, Irena, was wonderful and made the whole day enjoyable from start to finish. We got to make both fresh pasta and pizza, and then enjoy eating everything we made afterward. The restaurant staff and chefs were incredibly friendly and made the experience so much fun. We were also treated to complimentary wine, delicious house-made breads, cheeses, and salamis, which made the meal even more special. Trying the cannoli was definitely another highlight! We also appreciated having a little free time to shop before catching the bus back to the port. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour!
Absolutely fantastic tour! Excellent communication about where to meet them. The cooking instructor was fantastic and lots of nice little touches like water and local treats on the bus. Would have liked a bit more time to explore the city after but wasn’t expecting any so the little time was still nice. Would highly recommend!

This was a great...
This was a great experience! My wife and I were looking for a fun excursion that allowed us to immerse in Sicilian culture! The cooking was amazing! Thank you Francesca for being an awesome chef! Thanks to Alessandra for being a superb tour guide and Michelangelo for being a great driver! We met 10 new friends on the tour who were already a group but welcomed us in and we had a wonderful time with them!

Lots of fun
We enjoyed the class. It was well organized and offered a ton of food. Emmanuella was our guide. She was very sweet and stayed with us through the class and then told us how much free time we had and where to meet back for the bus pick up. We shared a bus with another tour, which was unexpected, but turned out fine. We made pasta, then had a snack of bread, cheese, olives and wine. Then we made the pizza. After eating all the food we made, they had a canola and some limoncello. Highly recommend this tour. The tour company was also very good with communication.
