Picked up near Taormina... - Picked up near Taormina Central and taken to Chef Mimmo’s restaurant by the sea. We made cannoli and pizza, Chef Mimmo and his mom were super gracious and knowledgeable, 10/10 experience.

Pizza with Chef Mimmo was a blast! - Chef Mimmo's class (along with Nonna!) was so much fun and educational. We were already into cooking pizzas at home, but were interested in taking it to the next level! I LOVE that he provides the detailed instructions through email afterwards. And the cannoli's were great as well! Honestly, I've never been a fan of cannoli's, but they were on a different level home made! We will likely cook these at home as well. All around a very fun time, I highly recommend!

Great experience, delicious food, memories to last a lifetime! - An incredible experience learning to make pizza and authentic cannoli! Chef Mimmo is extremely talented and offered a truly unique and memorable class. The food was delicious, and we even left with the recipes so we can recreate them at home. Chef Mimmo’s restaurant is a true family affair — his mother helped us make the cannoli using her own recipe. I highly recommend taking this class. Everyone had a fantastic time!

Cannoli and pizza made to perfection! - Have never made cannoli in my life. What fun and so yummy. It’s a great recipe and already filed it away for future use. Pizza demonstration was very helpful. Have a wood fired oven at home and the dough ingredients and technique was different from what I have been doing. Definitely an improvement. Eight people in the class altogether and everyone was a gem including our hosts. Pick up was easy the only down side was the traffic was terrible so arrived a little later than expected. So the first part seemed rushed.

Great food and experience! - yWe had such a great time with Domenico for this class! He was very attentive, patient and helpful! The cannolis and pizza were absolutely delicious; the pizza was comparable/better te r than what I’d tried in Florence! It is age-friendly for all and a good experience. Thank you!

Unexpected Circumstances - After meeting at the assigned meet up location, we then had to take a 20 min taxi ride to the restaurant where the class was to be held. When the class was over you then took the 20 min taxi ride back to the meet up location. We were not expecting this since it was not communicated. The class indicated it was to be in Taormina, but instead it was in Naxos. The class took place in the restaurant on tables near where guest were having dinner- this was not at a cooking school kitchen. Being out in the restaurant made it a little too noisy and at times it was hard to hear his directions. All other cooking classes I have taken in the past were held at a private kitchen, not in the middle of a restaurant. The man who ran the class spoke English, however his mother, who was helping did not speak English, therefore instead of telling you what to do, she repeatedly kept touching my pizza dough and cannoli crust with her hands- I did not appreciate this. He should have had a person help who spoke English since this was an English class.
