Highlights
  • Lungomare Tysandros, 68 - Join chef Mimmo at “Ahoy Bistrò Siciliano” in Giardini Naxos, which boasts a view of the ocean and the Bay of Naxos and Taormina. Enjoy a Coffee Break and sample wines accompanied by a selection of appetizers including focaccia, cured meats, and regional Sicilian cheeses. Don the apron and embark on the creation of three classic Sicilian culinary delights: a starter, a seafood main course, and a variety of fresh pastas crafted by hand by the participants.

Experience the authentic taste of Sicily, from the sweet Pachino cherry tomatoes to the renowned Bronte pistachios at the foot of Mount Etna. Inhale the aroma of eggplants as you whip up a traditional pasta alla norma, and savor the essence of the local waters with freshly caught fish seasoned with regional spices like Aeolian Island capers and olives from the nutrient-rich volcanic soil. Then, gather around the table for a typical celebratory lunch just steps away from the sandy shore and the waves. To cap off this memorable day, participants will receive certificates and a signed apron as mementos.

Absolutely perfect. - We spent 5 days in Sicily and this was our favorite afternoon. Chef Mimmo and family were so welcoming and kind. The location is divine, and the food is even better. We learned how to make a pasta and fish dinner complete with sides and best of all, our teens absolutely loved it and didn't look at their phones once!

Great - The course was great! Mimmo explained everything well and got everyone involved. We made our own pasta. The food at the end was really delicious! The fact that I had actually booked vegetarian/vegan was not taken into account, but in my case it wasn't a problem because I'm not a strict vegetarian, so I didn't insist. It was a shame that the course only lasted 3 hours and not 4 as described (without the market). That meant that everything went a bit quickly. But I was really impressed! Thank you Mimmo!

Great experience - 10/10 would recommend. The restaurant is right on the beach front with a lovely view. Chef Mimmo and his team are great and the experience was really good value for money. We had a starter, primi and secondi, as well as wine and other drinks available. We learnt a lot and came away with recipes to make again.

Beautiful place, with beautiful people and great food - The experience was wonderful! We had a lot of fun while learning how to make various kinds of pasta, prepare a fish dish and a vegetable dish, while tasting wine and mozzarela/salami/veggies plate. The place is right next to the sea, so you are working with beautiful view. Chef Mimmo was great! Very friendly, together with other staff and his beautiful mother, we were thrilled with the people there. One thing we werent feeling so much was, that there was a big group of people with just the 4 of us and we were sometimes "forgotten about" or had to wait because of the insesible ppl in that group... we felt bad for the staff. The food is great, wine is great, staff is wonderful and the place is a bomb~ Recommend! THANK YOU! Photos by @zack_photography
