“Cooking with Lidia was a truly wonderful experience. She explained everything in great detail and clearly guided us through every step of preparing the pizza and the ice cream. We are so happy that we chose to spend our Valentine’s evening this way in Palermo. It was a memorable and delightful experience that we will cherish for a long time.”

“This cooking class was so much fun! The hosts Mimmo and his mamma Francesca were fabulous!! Learnt so much and ate delicious food!! Would def recommend!!”

“Chef Massimo was fantastic! Class was educational and lots of fun! We enjoyed the local fresh produce market and private butcher shop stops before cooking. Stunning home to cook in and view is amazing. The food we made was delicious and the best we had in Taormina! We highly recommend this experience!!!”

“It was very interactive with a personal touch really really enjoyed it”

“We had a wonderful morning with Paolo making pasta followed by Luca making the pizza. We really enjoyed meeting lots of people from different countries and had a break with wine, water and snacks. We made pizza together which was great fun and then ate them and were also presented with pasta and cannoli. Very full and great atmosphere and fun.”

“It was amazing and also entertaining. It was so much fun to learn how make pasta and tiramisu and then eat what we made.”

“Michael was a pleasure! Very personable and knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun preparing the dishes and thoroughly enjoyed eating it and pairing with local wines! Excellent experience!”

“Salvo lead a fantastic tour and cooking class from beginning to end. He was funny and helpful and even gave us tips on where to buy ingredients outside the market and restaurants to try. The facilities were very clean and everyone was professional and experienced. Very satisfied with the classes I’ve taken and would take more!”

“We did it on a whim because we were tired of just walking around a town and shopping. It was a high light of the trip. The instructor is fun and the food was fantastic. We even were able to get up here from a cruise docked in Messina”

“What an incredible experience! I truly enjoyed every moment — the learning aspect was both fun and enriching. The food was delicious, especially (the pizza and tiramisu we made), and the wine paired perfectly with everything. Such a well-thought-out and memorable activity. Thank you so much!”

“Me and girlfriend really enjoyed learning how to make Arrancino especially being taught by chef Paolo himself. He was great and made the cooking experience fun! Definitely recommend to people as an activity in Taormina :)”

“Small group with excellent chef teaching us how to make cannoli. Have lots of advice and the cannoli we made were superb!”

“Amazing activity , worth every penny. Really learned alot from this class and would recommend it to anyone ! Lot of good food to make and eat!!”

“Great class - we cooked far more than I expected. Not only handmade pasta but an aubergine parmegana and a salt-baked fish. Lots of snacks (fruit, cheese, antipasti etc) adn wine throughiuth the day. Paulo, our chef was clear (very good english) and humorous ensuring that we all had a fabulous time and learnt some new italian cooking skills.”

“This was a fabulous experience!! This family opened up their home and welcomed all eleven of us for a cooking and dining experience that took us late into the night. The time passed so quickly with laughs, stories and delicious food and drinks. They made accommodations for people’s diet restrictions and provided transportation to and from their home. This was one of the best excursions we’ve been on thanks to Chef Antonio and his family.”
