Mini and staff are great! - What a fun and wonderful experience. Momo and his staff were awesome! They showed us great Italian cooking and we learned about Sicilian cuisine and culture. We had 12 total people and it was a fun group. I would highly recommend adding this to your Taormina trip!

Great family experience - My children and I enjoyed our cooking class with Chef Mimmo; the pace and the relaxed atmosphere were very good. The food we ate during the break and for lunch, which we had "worked" on, was of the highest standard and super delicious. It is possible to buy the wooden pasta tool, and we look forward to experimenting at home. Thank you for an enjoyable and memorable workshop.

Bon appetite! - This is a hands on experience that is really enjoyable. It is a family owned business and they treat you like Family! They educated you on the Techniques in making the sauces and pasta and gave us the recipes too!! We had time to relax and enjoy some wine and cheese and bread in between the lessons. This is a must when visiting Taormina or Catania! Loved it!

Wonderful and enriching experience - Chef Mimmo, chef Vittorio and Mama went above and beyond to provide a warm and welcoming environment. We learned how to make many shapes of our own pasta, the most delicious caponata I have ever had and a pasta alla Norma that was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed freshly baked bread, delicious wine and snacks. The atmosphere was fun and very interactive. We looked out over the sea which contributed to the beauty of the class. I highly recommend this experience to everyone. We left incredibly full but I believe that it was one of our top Italian meals on our trip. Do not hesitate to sign up for this adventure. Absolutely worth the price!!
