Choose the dishes to cook with the Chef based on the fresh and seasonal ingredients found at the market. Continue towards the Restaurant "Ahoy Bistrò Siciliano" in Giardini Naxos (transfer included in the price), 15 minutes from the market, facing the sea and the Bay of Naxos and Taormina, and wine tasting with focaccia, cold cuts, and local Sicilian cheeses. After wearing the apron, preparation of 3 traditional Sicilian dishes: an appetizer, a fish dish and different types of fresh pasta made by customers with their own hands. Discover Sicily in its unique flavors, from Pachino cherry tomatoes to the Bronte pistachio located at the base of Etna volcano. Delight in the scent of aubergines while you prepare a plate of pasta alla norma, and discover the flavors of our sea through fresh fish taken at the market, and flavored with spices such as capers from the Aeolian Islands and olives born from the fertile volcanic land. And then everyone at the table for the typical lunch on festive days a few meters from the beach and the sea. Finally, delivery of diplomas and autographed apron as a souvenir of a special day.

Amazing family cooking class with a great chef and a beautiful location.

Published on Jan, 2025

One of the best excursions we’ve ever done on any trip and we do a lot. The chef and his mom were amazing and they made the entire experience so much fun. We made our own lunch and then we ate like Kings and queens. Beautiful area looking right out at the water from where you are making the food. Would highly recommend this to any family.

Fantastic Sicilian experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

The cooking class with Chef Mimmo along with his mom, Francesca, was the highlight of our trip! The food was fantastic and would strongly recommend!

Perfect Sicilian Cooking Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

I have taken many cooking classes and this was one of the best for many reasons. The food we made was amazing and it was an opportunity to focus on Sicilian foods. The location of the restaurant by the sea at Giardini-Naxos was so beautiful. The facilities were perfect and the session was highly organized. Perhaps the best part was the people. The family that runs the restaurant is so warm and lovely and it was such a special experience. I cannot rate this any higher.

Wonderful small group cooking/eating experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Wonderful small group (5 people) experience with Chef Mimmo. The meetup at Porta Messina and transfer to/from the restaurant were easy. We had a great time making pasta (6 different shapes), 3 vegetarian dishes/sauces, and a fish dish. Best of all, we consumed our results accompanied by good wine and conversation with Chef Mimmo and others in our group. Definitely recommended!

Don’t Miss This Experience!!
