This experience was fantastic to learn about Sicilian food and meet new people. Mama chef Francesca was great too!!

Mimmo is an excellent chef, with a dry wit, and a passion for cooking. From the moment the class started, he made us feel welcome, and right at home. He encouraged us to do all of the work, and provided coaching to help us improve our techniques. Each and every dish that we created was truly delicious. The restaurant where the class took place was on the water, below Taormina. A quick 5 minute ride in a local taxi, which Mimmo provided, and we had one of the most beautiful views that you could ever imagine for a cooking class. We had fun, I met a fascinating couple from Austria, and we made great food. What is not to love.

We highly recommend booking this terrific class. The hands-on cooking class was an excellent introduction to several delicious Italian dishes. The atmosphere and location were great, and Chef Mimmo and his family welcomed us with open arms. No more box pasta for us:) Debbie & Bobby

What an absolutely great time. Mimmo is a very skilled chef, that combines his knowledge, with a strong passion, and a friendly approachable demeanor. We started with a trip to the market, where we selected vegetables for today's feast. We then travelled by taxi to Mimmo's restaurant, on the water, below the city of Taormina. We then cooked up a feast, where each dish was better than the last. With the participants all having varying skill and experience levels, Mimmo expertly tailored his answers to each one, being sure to provide a rich and thorough explanation. Using a single recipe for Sicilian pasta, we created pasta in 6 different shapes, which we used appropriately in the dishes that we created. I learned a great deal, had a lot of fun, and met some great new friends. If you have a chance to take a cooking class while in Taormina, you must take Mimmo's class.
