Chef Paolo Rocks! - My wife and I enjoyed this cooking class. We had Chef Paolo and he really made the experience. He was funny and perfect for a large group of people. This is a good class if you’re looking for a good deal and a fun time.

This cooking class was... - This cooking class was everything I could have asked for. Accompanied by delicious recipes to bring home and make again, we were brought to a market to get fresh veggies and fish for our delectable meal! Made great friends and had great conversation. Many good laughs were shared. I would highly recommend for small groups or solo travelers like myself to go and experience this experience.

amazing cooking class - This cooking class is amazing. I can't cook and was able to make many dishes. The instructor, Paolo, is so fun and friendly. The end result was one of the best meals I had in Italy. 10 out of 10. highly recommend.

Just Wow! - Well what can I say? I was met by the team and Maurizio who took me around the local market to buy fresh produce and then back to the restaurant to cook. We made fresh pasta, salt baked fish, aubergine parmigiana, pasta alla nonna and much more. All lovingly guided by Maurizio. Such a professional. He was friendly, calm and had a lot of patience. At the end you can eat what you make but there was too much so gave some to the locals to try. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to visit Taormina and I can’t wait to go back one day. Thanks team x

Shown a local market and were then guided to a working kitchen. We were taught Sicilian recipes and techniques. - This was such a lively informative class with a great amount of group engagement. Our head chef, Maurizio kept the party going. We received instruction that I can later use in my home kitchen.

Not as expected - The experience was not what we expected, although ultimately we did enjoy most of it. We booked a class for a maximum of 15 but on the day there were over 30 attendees. The room was not prepared for so many, it was extremely crowded & it was very difficult to hear the teacher. Most concerning was the fact that we were not advised to was our hands before making the pasta that we ultimately consumed!
