A not-to-be-missed cookery experience with Luca - Our cooking experience was perfect. Luca was waiting for us as expected, and then gave us a tour of some local landmarks on our way to the fish market. He was born in Catania and his knowledge of the town and of Sicily is fantastic. But mixed with that, he has also travelled widely, both through his occupation as a chef and for personal reasons. He explained everything to us really well, and was a perfect host - very friendly and always courteous. And what a wonderful way to run the cookery experience - in his childhood home, with his mum assisting with the cooking, and with his mum and fiancee sitting down with us for lunch. Sadly, we speak no Italian, but we still managed to have a round-the-table chat, with Luca as translator and many hand gestures by us. The food was delicious. Luca was so knowledgeable about the ingredients and explained to us how to choose the best and freshest for our own cooking. The meal was one of the best we had in Sicily and it is exciting to know we can make it all again as Luca's instructions were so clear and easy to follow! I cannot think of a better way to experience a cooking class - we would recommend this experience very highly.

Incredible experience - Highly, highly recommend this cooking class! Very experienced and knowledgeable chef, great tour of not only the market but also some historical sites and lookout points nearby to help us get our bearings and understand the city history. Wonderful hands on cooking class that Luca tailors to your preferences. We made pasta, 2 fish dishes and cannoli which were all delicious and great portions. Snacks and wine were provided and we ate in his family home with his mum, we felt beyond welcome! Luca also gave us lots of tips for the rest of our Sicily trip 😊
