5.00Loved the hands on experience of making multiple kinds of pasta. So much fun and we can’t wait to do this as a holiday activity. It went over time by almost an hour and a 5 hr day was quite a lot, but well worth it. Chef Mimmo and his mom and helpers were all very authentic and passionate about what they do. Much more interesting than a making pizza class.
Fantastic cooking with Sea view

5.00Really an extraordinary experience. Starts with an introduction and explanations about fruits and vegetables at the market, then transport in luxurious vans to the chef's restaurant on the water, and there a real Italian cooking course with Mimmo, and chef Mamma (his mom). We learned how to make six kinds of pasta, vegetables (kind of ratatouille), tomato sauce, pesto, and fish!!! Which we ate afterwards. It was really an excellent activity that lasted over 4 hours. Well done, Chief Mimmo, and his whole squad.
A taste of Sicily
