• Ahoy Bistró Siciliano - Experience an authentic culinary journey with Chef Mimmo Siciliano in Taormina!

Meet the chef and begin the day with a visit to a quaint local market in Taormina, where vibrant colors and delightful aromas of Sicily surround you. Discover fresh, seasonal ingredients that will be used in the cooking class, immersing yourself in the genuine local ambiance.

Following the market visit, enjoy a complimentary transfer to “Ahoy Bistrò Siciliano” in Giardini Naxos, a mere 15-minute journey from the meeting point. This stunning venue offers breathtaking views of the sea and the picturesque Bay of Naxos.

During this experience, indulge in a tasting of local wines paired with focaccia, Sicilian cured meats, and cheeses. Under the guidance of the chef, prepare three traditional Sicilian dishes with your own hands:

• One appetizer;
• One fresh fish dish;
• Six varieties of fresh pasta, including the renowned pasta alla Norma with eggplant and Pachino cherry tomatoes.

Explore Sicily through its distinctive flavors—from the rich aroma of eggplants to the freshness of seafood, from Aeolian capers to olives nurtured in fertile volcanic soil.

After cooking, relax and savor the meal you’ve crafted just steps from the beach and the sea. Conclude the experience on a sweet note with small Sicilian cannoli accompanied by a glass of limoncello.
