Chef Mimmo and family were fabulous!! - This experience was next level. Chef was genuine, patient and passionate! We handmade 5 different styles of pasta and complete sicilian dishes. 3 hours in the kitchen and then overlooking the ocean while enjoying our food with plenty of wine:) Special Note- if you are coming from Port Messina, make sure you book a transfer to Taormina/ approx 45 min to get to the experience!

Had a blast cooking with Chef Mimmo and his family! - We had so much fun with Chef Mimmo today! The energy was high, the food was fantastic, and everybody in our full class was involved. Chef Mimmo showed us how easy these dishes are to make, and we will be bringing a piece of Sicily home with us. I highly recommend the class!

Great Sicilian cooking experience - As soon as we met chef siciliano we knew we had made a good choice. He was friendly, personable, and of course very skilled and knowledgeable. Neither me nor my wife had previous experience making pizza or cannoli, but he made it feel easy and we were so happy with the outcome. Absolutely recommend.

Cooking with Chef Mimmo - I loved the family run business aspect of Chef Mimmo’s restaurant. We met his mother, father, aunt, brother… all professional and experienced. It was clean, efficient, and educational.

Highly recommend this!! - Taormina is a beautiful place to visit. We got to see the main center, a local marketplace and the unique foods grown in Sicily. Then the restaurant is located near the beach and the chef along with his mother and family provide an amazing variety of foods that you will participate in making and are absolutely delicious. We make different varieties of homemade pasta, and at least three different sauces, plus more. Unforgettable day - spoke English very well and was great at giving instructions.

Fun time Sicilian cooking and eating! - Great experience. We learned to make pasta, several traditional sauces, and a swordfish dish. And then we got to eat everything we made! The chefs were very knowledgeable and the whole thing was a lot of fun.

Fantastic cooking experience with a tasty end result! - We had a great experience today at Mimmo! Making the pasta was a lot of fun, especially rolling it yourself on the gnocchi plates and the chitarra! Mimmo tells a lot about the dishes and about Sicily! Mamma Francesca and colleagues make sure that everything is tidy and that we can get started. Francesca kept a close eye on the quality of the pasta!

A not-to-miss experience - Chef Mimmo is charismatic, entertaining and passionate. Our family had the best time learning how to make authentic Sicilian dishes. It was the best cooking class I have ever taken and highly recommend it.

Wonderful cooking experience with Mimmo and his family! - My husband and I did this experience with another couple and it was fantastic! I perfect Italian experience where we learned to cook some delicious food and the history behind some popular Italian dishes! I would recommend if you are booking with a group to put it under one reservation because we did that, they sat us at our own private table with our friends! We cooked with the whole group which was fun but also got to enjoy just being with our friends for some of the experience. I had a food allergy to eggplant which I mentioned in my booking. Mimmo and his fam accommodated me and cooked some of the dishes special for me omitting the eggplant. We had a wonderful time cooking with Mimmo and his family! My husband who hates cooking even enjoyed himself!
