Pizza making An excellent experience how to do excellent pasta and pizza! Great cooks invited to do a self experience with lots of tips. Since then there is no more supermarket pizza at home. And it was a lot of fun - just the Limoncello killed the day. Maybe it was me by myself ...

Wonderful day Cooking Fantastic Food We had a fantastic time at this cooking school. We weren’t quite sure what to expect, but everything about this experience ended up being perfect. There are different variations that you can sign up for and we took the “full” school that included such Sicilian classics as eggplant parmigiana, swordfish involtini, sarde a beccafico, and pasta alla Norma. Along the way there was plenty of wine and great camaraderie with the other participants and the wonderful staff. We highly recommend this experience!

Great Sicilian experience This was a well organised cooking experience. We were made to feel welcome and the whole session was unhurried. We enjoyed making pasta, various fish dishes and parmigiana as well as the feast at the end. We were given plenty of wine and enjoyed getting to know the others in the group (we were lucky that there were only eight of us). The staff were very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Grazie mille

Authentic cooking experience with a lot of food! It was only my girlfriend and I on the cooking class so had a unique experience. Unfortunately we didn’t get to do the local food market tour and forgot to ask - we assume because it was only 2 people. Nevertheless, Luca (hopefully we spelled the name correctly) looked after us for 3 hours. We had a combination of cooking, learning from the head chef in the kitchen and have short breaks in between. Highly recommended if you’re not familiar with Italian cooking and the history.

Lovely class! Had a lovely time with Luca learning how to make Arrancino! The amount of food we were left with was also unbelievable and the staff let us take home everything we couldn't eat on the night. Excellent evening all round! Thank you team!

Pizzatastic ! Really enjoyed our time at this Pizza making class. Maurizio and Giovanni both made the experience so much better and made a group of strangers from all over the world become friends over dough !We made macaroni, pizza dough and finally our own pizzas. Nice wine flowed throughout and then we ate out hard work.Strongly recommend you try this class and hope you have as good a time that we had.
