Perfect taste of Sicily - Wonderful day with Chef Massimo and his team. He shared so much knowledge about choosing the best produce, meat and fish as we shopped for our supplies in the market. The cooking portion was face paced with everyone contributing - meal turned out incredible! Chef Massimo was friendly, helpful and made the day so special. Beautiful setting and view too! Would definitely recommend.

Very entertaining and informative class. Delicious meal and fun experience! - Superlative experience with Chef Massimo! We attended with friends from the states and all of us enjoyed this experience immensely. Chef was excellent at explaining exactly what to look for when selecting the fresh ingredients for our meal we would prepare. Our class had eight participants, and he kept everyone involved throughout the class. The finished meal (six courses!) was delicious from beginning to end.

Unforgettable Sicilian cooking class with Chef Massimo - Chef Massimo has a fantastic humorous personality and the food we cooked was just delicious. I'll never forget the branzino - best fish I've ever eaten. The location was on a cliff over the sea; couldn't have been more beautiful. A highlight of my trip to Sicily.
