Educational, fun & very delicious 😀 - Paulo was our chef for the afternoon. Wonderful chef who gave us a one to one lesson which was very fortunate for us, special attention & so much more food to enjoy. Everything was clearly explained & good banter along the way too. Wine & recipes to follow and we could sit & savour our food for as long as we wanted afterwards. Additionally, we were given free ricotta cannoli as a treat for dessert.

Taking home a piece of culture - This was a great experience! Our instructor was knowledgeable and I could tell that she really enjoys her profession. With only one other person in our class, it made the experience more personal and she was able to attend to all of our questions. If you want to take home a bit of Sicilian culture, and meet new people, taking a cooking course I a great way to go

Great arancini-making experience - This experience was a lot of fun. We spent three hours with Paolo and Francesca learning how to make arancini, and then having a leisurely lunch with our creations and a carafe of wine, followed by cannolis and limoncello. A great way to spend an afternoon. Paolo and Francesca made the experience very entertaining as well as informative.

Awesome cooking class! - Had the best time with Paolo! Chef kiss to the whole experience n to the basically bottomless wine that was included in the experience :) In between the drinks n the enormous quantity of food we made, we spent the whole time rolling on our bellies out of laughter (n fullness)

Delicious food experience! - What a fun and delicious cooking experience! Our chef,Francesca was very helpful, informative, pleasant and accommodating! We had an abundance of food choices for the inside of the arancini, and we made so many! After preparing and cooking, we enjoyed eating our arancini along with wine and a cannoli for dessert. Highly recommend this experience!

Arancino making - We had a great time learning how to make arancino. Great restaurant, great chef and great company. We learnt the tricks of the trade and came away with more arancini than we could eat. We even went back the next day for lunch. Definitely recommend this experience!

Unfortunately we were first to be... - <p>Unfortunately we were first to be picked up so spent the first hour and a quarter picking up other passengers. Had plenty of time for shopping and was back in Giardini Naxos by 4.30pm. Village is easy to get around with plenty of lovely cafes. A lot of expensive designer shops more geared towards younger people but worth a visit.</p>
