What's better than a cooking class to learn how to prepare Sicilian Pizza and Cannoli just a few steps from the Sea of Taormina and Naxos?

Together with the "Family Siciliano" you will learn to use fresh and local ingredients, which enhance the flavor of each dish, and make Italy and Sicily famous throughout the world.

With Chef Mimmo you will learn the art of preparing Pizza and typical "Bruschetta" with local products: Pachino cherry tomatoes, basil, oregano and olive oil.

With the father Siciliano, a great local pastry Chef, you will create the famous Cannoli, learning the secrets of preparing the perfect wafer and cream that make Cannoli the most famous Sicilian dessert in the world.

Furthermore, you will learn how to make "Angel Wings", typical traditional sweets which in Sicilian are called "Chiacchiere", and which are popular sweets of the Carnival period.

And then everyone to the table, facing the Mediterranean Sea, to enjoy your creations accompanied by a tasting of Limoncello.

Mimo and family were great! His mother and son were part of the mix. My wife and I had a great time. Their hospitality, instruction and food were all outstanding. One of the highlights of our trip. Quick trip from Taormina to the Restaurant. It starts to fill up around 8 pm, so starting at 6 is good b/c you get in before the crowd. The conoli crust was better than any we had in Sicily 😁
The best cannoli’s!!
