5.00The Street Food and More Cooking Class at Mamma Corleone's was absolutely incredible! It was one of the highlights of my husband and I's honeymoon in Palermo! Maria Pia was an excellent host and chef! She does not speak English but was very clear in her actions and directions and her translator Lorenzo was amazing. They were both very kind, helpful , and skilled. We made delicious arancini, panelle, and a seasonal dessert. Lorenzo was very funny and kept the conversation going! We got to share a meal together at the end and it was just an overall wonderful experience! I would definitely recommend coming to this class!
This cooking class was a blast. Very professional, fun and entertaining. We lived the food we made and learned alot. 10 out

5.00Great class! Maria Pia was an excellent source of knowledge and Lorenzo did a fantastic job not only translating but adding some humor and even taking pictures for us. Highly recommend! Btw the class is down an alleyway, don't worry -- you're in the right place. Just come a couple minutes before the time and they'll be there!

5.00This was the second cookery course in two days at Mamma Corleone with Maria Pia and translator, Karim. Like the last course we had a really OUTSTANDING time, relaxed, patient, lots of humour and fabulous food to eat at the end. This is one of the best three hours activity we have ever done on holiday, would really recommend especially for a group of friends. X Thank you Maria Pia and Karim.

5.00My husband and I took the street food class because we wanted to try something authentic to Sicily and it was such a wonderful experience that we will always remember. Mamma Corleone was so sweet and helpful and explained things well so that it felt easy. Our interpreter was great and since it was just my husband and I in the class, we all chatted about all sorts of things while drinking wine and making some of the most delicious food we had in all of Italy. We will be attempting to remake the food at home. Highly recommend taking one of her classes, you will love her and her food!

5.00Best cooking class ever. Learned how to cook Panelle, Arancini, and watermelon jelly. So much fun and felt like family. Food was delicious and I was amazed I could actually make it. Easy to follow recipe/directions an experience you must do Palermo. We could stay there all day and cook. This is a must do experience.
The time will remain unforgettable and the anticipation for a repeat is already high.

5.00We came as strangers and immediately felt the warmth and hospitality of the Sicily women. It was immediately, like a cooking night with friends. We laughed, talked and learned super delicious Arranci etc. from our "mama". Here we got to know the Italian cuisine even more intensively and will come back on the next visit to Sicily. Our dear translator (German) also did a lot to make it an unforgettable experience. My husband and I can highly recommend it to anyone. We regretted not being here any longer when we said goodbye. Like friends, we were farewelled at the door. Even inexperienced cooks will learn a lot here and have a great time. Thank you very much!
5 Stars — A great cooking experience!!!
