Great time and good value - My daughter and i really enjoyed the class. We had great fun. The owner and the chef Paolo were really friendly and entertaining. Loads of good food and wine dished out during the class. One of the best things we did on our holiday and i would thoroughly recommend it.

Chef Paulo ~ Excellent Teacher & Delicious Recipes - Chef Paulo creates a very fun and exceptional learning experience. His ease with demonstrating and teaching each of the dishes gives you the confidence to jump right in. Chef Paulo is very encouraging. His techniques are so well practiced, almost effortless. Highly recommended for the delicious food but moreso for the experience of learning from a master (who has a very welcoming and fun personality!)

Tasty belly full day where you get to meet new people - We booked this activity on a whim as we wanted to do something different in Taormina. We debated about the price of the activity as others in past was lower, but as the day unfold we got value for money as the complementary food (bread, cheese, fruit) & drinks (house wine & water), in addition to what was prepared/cooked flowed as we got to mingle with the other participants in our group (>20). The day started with tour of the local market and some ingredients for the recipes - tomatoes, aubergine, sea bass and swordfish. Then due to size of the group we went to their second restaurant to learn how to make pasta from scratch with different shapes. We then prepared salt baked seabass, aubergine parmigiana and swordfish rolls. We did not feel rushed and event lasted 4 hours. The day left us little room for dinner later.
The only improvement to the event was how to make the tomato sauce for the pasta as it was delicious.

A must do in Taormina - Was so much fun and well worth the money. We made pasta, two fish dishes and a veggie dish which all tasted nice and was fun to make. Had nibbles and wine in between making them which they didn’t stop refreshing. Got to keep the aprons and was given a certificate as well. Atmosphere was amazing and everyone was so friendly and attentive. Beautiful sea view from restaurant.

Super cooking class à la siciliana - The cooking class began with a reception by the chef and a bottle of mineral water. In English, the course was explained to us, which lasted 3.5 to 4 hours. In the beginning we walked to the covered market, just a few minutes walk away. At the small market of Taormina, we were first explained the ingredients that we later used in the restaurant. Small and funny anecdotes about the cooking of the Chef's grandmother made us immerse ourselves in life in the Sicilian families.
Four different traditional Sicilian dishes were prepared, which were well explained. After the first preparations of the food, there was a small snack, with salami, olives, grapes, cheese and bread, plus plenty of white and red wine. After the break, the other dishes were prepared, paying attention to intolerances and allergies, so that everyone got their money's worth during the subsequent meal together.
The explanations of the chef and his numerous helpers of the cake crew were very detailed and always peppered with a pinch of humor. Every single participant was personally addressed, it was like cooking with friends!
The large group of all kinds of nationalities harmonized very well, so that the common and above all abundant food turned out to be very interesting.
A big praise to the entire kitchen team of the restaurant Porta Messina... it was a great experience!

Entertaining and informative Sicilian cooking course - We both really enjoyed our morning first visiting the market then learning to make pasta and various other dishes. It was a lot of fun and the chef kept it very light hearted and entertaining. We then sat down and ate the dishes we had prepared.
