  If you are travelling to Palermo, Cooking with Carlo is an ESSENTIAL experience. It was the most authentic, wholesome and beautifully executed cooking class. If felt like being invited into his home rather than his just classroom. The attention to details and the incredible location make the experience second to none! I walked away with not only new cooking skills but also a full stomach and an even fuller heart.

  Carlo has a wonderful property. We picked foods from the garden and cooked as the light faded over panoramic views over Palermo and the sea. It's a true family business and we enjoyed meeting them all.

  I wish there were 10 stars. Every detail of this experience was carefully curated to ensure full immersion of a Sicilian meal. From picking the ingredients in the garden to the sunset views and wonderful food, this was our favorite part of Sicily and a great kick off to our time here. Carlos was so kind and welcoming, and the transfer they booked for us even went out of his way to point out what to do and how to get to where we needed in Palermo. If you’re wanting to book a cooking class - this is the one!

  From the moment we walked through the door, Carlo welcomed us with genuine Italian hospitality. The view in the backyard was breathtaking, showcasing a beautiful, bountiful garden filled with an endless array of herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Carlo kindly gave us a tour of the garden, where we sampled the freshest produce and picked the ingredients we would use in our cooking. Under Carlo’s guidance, we made cannoli and pasta from scratch. His instructions were clear and made the entire experience so much fun. Once we finished cooking, we sat down to enjoy the delicious creations we had made. It was truly amazing to be taught by Carlo, to be invited into his beautiful space, and to savor some of the freshest food imaginable. This experience exceeded all of my expectations! Additionally, Carlo's sister-in-law was present, and she was absolutely wonderful. This cooking class will always be one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily.

  We had a wonderful time at the cooking class! Carlo was an amazing host, chef, and teacher. He shares his personal home, farm and stories of how he and his family harvest from the farm each year to make olive oil and fresh tomato sauce. We learned how to make cannolis from scratch and fresh pasta, had lovely appetizers made by he and his mom (who assisted with set up and cleaning during the class-she was lovely) with fresh ingredients from the farm. We picked ingredients during our walk around the farm that were used for dinner and ate some of the freshest figs off his trees that I had ever had in my life. The view from his patio when we were cooking was amazing, we drank some great wine with our appetizers and with dinner. All throughout cooking Carlo shared stories and tips about how to make the recipes better and shared little bits of Sicilian culture. All around a wonderful experience- it was just my husband and I who took the class with two other pairs that we did not know but everyone was very friendly. Would recommend for families or groups or even a solo traveler. Carlo made everyone feel welcome. It was also lovely to get outside of the city and see Palermo from above.
