Real Palermo with a real chef! - This is review is written for my sister who is computer challenged so I'm writing the review for her. My sister, her daughter, a cousin and her daughter traveled to Palermo and a day with Fulvio was one of their most memorable experiences. The food market tour was excellent: fun times spent picking out fresh produce and seafood to cook later that day with primo chef Fulvio! All dishes were delicious, but the most fun was cooking, drinking and generally enjoying time with the effervescent Fulvio. ONE HUNDRED percent recommend this experience, you will not be disappointed. Ciao!

A Meal to Remember - We spent a delightful evening helping to prepare a traditional Sicilian dinner with Fulvio, who is a wonderful ambassador of Sicilian culture. The prosecco and conversation were flowing, and the meal was outstanding. Tuna, in season, was seasoned with fresh garlic and mint. It was beyond tender and flavorful. We learned how to make passata using oh-so-fresh tomatoes, and more. We knew about Fulvio’s tours from our travel mates who had been with him on a previous trip. This says it all—retuning, happy, satisfied guests! We were welcomed to Fulvio’s beautiful home with fabulous views, and as this was our last night in Palermo, it made it even more special. A memory to last forever!

Authentic cooking! - My experience with Fulvio and the cooking class was more than I had expected! I loved going into the market and seeing how he bought food what was available. Everything was fresh from the market that we cooked and ate. Definitely a highlight of my stay in Palermo.

A "must do" experience if in Palermo! - My favorite part was seeing my adult children helping to cook the meal! It was fantastic to see how simple each recipe was and how easy it would be to recreate these delicious foods at home. It was our first full day in Sicily and it was beyond fantastic! Fulvio is so much fun and so welcoming. The views from his kitchen balcony were incredible and the memories made will last forever. The whole experience was above and beyond all my expectations. The food market tour was the best because it was very local and authentic, unlike the bigger markets we saw along the rest of our vacation. It was a peek into authentic Sicilian life. Fulvio's passion for cooking, entertaining and the Sicilian way of life was palpable. If in Palermo this is a "must do" experience!

Joseph Crispin. - This was an Absolutely Amazing Authentic Experience. Our host made us feel right at home from the very beginning. We walked a few blocks got some great Italian bread and went back and learned how to make Eggplant Parmesan, real Italian red sauce, pasta, sea bass and tiramisu. I would highly recommend booking this cooking class.

Great food and better company - This was such a great experience! It was a joy to cook with the Fulvio and the sous chef, you could tell that they really enjoy what they do and they were super fun! They played great music and really made sure we enjoyed ourselves. It was us and another couple and they welcomed us both. Would definitely recommend you arrive with an empty stomach, we ate so much great food!

AMAZING experience - Meeting Fulvio was the best part of our Palermo experience. I can’t thank him enough for such a beautiful time, listening to great music and make delicious food. Fulvio is an extraordinary person with a beautiful personality. A master at his craft, everything he made was made with love. If you have the chance to meet him and have opportunity to cook with him , you should! Thank you a million Fulvio, hope to meet you again

Amazing experience - Fulvio welcomed us with open arms and showed us the best food the city of Palermo has to offer. He gave us a great tour around the city and also did a cooking class for us that left us real full 😋 I appreciated the hospitality Fulvio has to offer and would definitely recommend anyone who stops in Palermo to take a tour with him as it is a great experience!!

Dinner with Fulvio - We had dinner with Fulvio at his apartment with his sous chef Mauritzio. It was a really fun evening with lots of good food, wine and music! Fried little red mullet was delicious, though we couldn't take any credit for cooking that one...Learnt so much about Palermo food ...black lentils from Etna... Fulvio is a charming, considerate and entertaining host and looked after us very well.
