You have to hike a bit down a lot of steps to get to Chef Massimo’s house from the Messina Gate. Be prepared if it’s hot. But it’s well worth it. Awesome views. Maybe some of the best food we had during our stay in the Taormina area and we helped make it. Massimo is very entertaining and informative.

What an amazing Cookery Class, do not hesitate to book, well worth it. What a fab day cooking with Chef Massimo. We did this class on the first day of our holiday to Sicily, so glad we did this. From start to finish had a great day. Chef Massimo is fab encouraged everyone to take part.in cooking the great dishes we prepared and cooked and then we sat down to eat this fabulous food (do not book a reservation at a restaurant on the same night as food here is plentiful) we ate at 2pm and we were still stuffed at 9 pm haha . So well worth the money and would definitely book again do this class very highly recommend. Thank you chef Massimo for a great day. Homemade wine served is wonderful too. Such a fabulous day spent with great company and very highly recommend.
