Fantastic cooking experience! - Would highly recommend. Beginning at the market was very informative. The class was well organized and hands -on with everyone at their own station and Chef Mimmo had assistants to help everyone. He was very clear and precise with the recipes and the prep needed. The meal was delicious, complimented with a local white wine.

We had a good time - My wife and I were in Taormina for a few days and wanted to do something s little different and fun for our last day. Chef Mimmo provided a wonderful time and I learned some things about Sicilian food. We made some traditional dishes, pasta, and of course ate a lot. We met in Taormina and walked a short distance to a market, then a driver took us to Chef Mimmos restaurant by the sea for cooking. The driver took us back where we started. It was a very small group so it was easy to hear and participate in the activity.

Fun learning to cook from a local - Mimo was an amazing host and chef. We were the only guests in the tour and it was his first of the season. We had lots of time to learn to make the pasta, sauces and other dishes and ask lots of questions. We got to know his mother who also taught and showed us how to make things. There was so much food when we got done and all of it was delicious.

Fun and Delicious Sicilian Cooking Experience for the Whole Family - We had a wonderful experience at the Sicilian-style cooking class with Chef Mimmo! Our family of five (two adults and three children) truly enjoyed it. My husband is passionate about cooking, and he loved every moment of it. The kids had an amazing time making pasta in so many different shapes. Mimmo has a great way of engaging everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, making the experience fun and interactive for all. And the food—absolutely delicious! We prepared pasta with Sicilian pesto, pasta with tomato sauce, swordfish Involtini, and Caponata. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. A little tip: have a light breakfast before coming, so you can fully enjoy all the dishes you cook. We highly recommend this experience!

Delicious, great atmosphere - The cooking class experience was great. We were on a cruise and it took about an hour on the bus from the port to the meeting spot, so plan ahead if you’re coming from a cruise in Messina. We were in a group of about 24 people total. The pasta was easy to make and turned out divine. The atmosphere was great, an open restaurant with a wide view of the sea and a beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My husband and I appreciated that we were able to take breaks, go and sit down by the sea with a glass of wine and return to making the pasta. The whole experience was flexible and fun. And I just can’t emphasize enough how delicious everything turned out!
