  Best cooking experience. Whether you are an experienced chef or novice, Massimo has this thing down. We loved the food and education, but Massimo himself is entertaining and great company, and the views from his place were incredible. We learned so much and can’t wait to recreate what we made back in the States. This was the best part of our vacation to Taormina.

  Highly recommend this experience. We had an amazing day. 6 hours of time together. We went to the fresh markets and butcher and were instructed to cook everything. We had a blast. Massimo was so knowledgeable and entertaining. His passion for Sicilian food and the best ingredients came shinning through. The class was not too large and we had a feast complete with Amazing wine. We made Componata, stuffed Zucchini Flowers, Pasta with peas and potatoes (yum), Pasta Ala Norma, meatballs in lemon leaves, and pork stuffed artichokes hearts,l and salt crusted Red Snapper ( Amazing). We were so full we couldn’t eat dinner. This is an absolute must. And you must cook with chef Massimo.

  Chef Massimo is a wealth of knowledge and a genuinely nice and interesting guy! He starts in the market and discusses local produce and recent changes in crops due to climate concerns and then talks about how to spot fresh fish. We then picked up meat at the butcher's and headed to his house to cook and eat. He loves to talk and has a lot of valuable things to say! The hours flew by as we were very busy and then we got to eat some delicious dishes that we prepared. He is an authentic Siciliano and was extremely welcoming and energetic and appears to love what he does. It was very easy to have a wonderful time in his presence and everything we made was just delicious. We now feel privileged to have some of his Nonna's secrets to Sicilian cooking! Highly recommend! Totally worth it!!

  Fantastic!! The experience with Massimo was outstanding. We learned a lot in the market when we selected our ingredients and had a lot of fun learning to cook the various dishes. The food was amazing! It tasted so good along with the wine and the view. Would definitely do it again.
