    This is an absolute must! Chef Massimo was incredible. We started at the market and hand picked items on our menu then went back to a kitchen/restaurant (phenomenal views) where we created everything from start to finish, with the excellence guidance of Massimo. We love making the pasta from scratch and the food tasted excellent. He provided local wines as well. This was definitely one of our favorite highlights of our 2 week vacation in Europe!

    Massimo was friendly, knowledgeable and committed to teaching us about how choose fresh fish, meat and vegetables. His knowledge and skill as a Chef is clear and his ability to teach and keep everyone involve was excellent. Best part…the meal we made was exceptional.

    Massimo’s expertise and learning from a born-and-bred Sicilian local, the small intimate group size, the STUNNING location for the cooking class and enjoying lunch and local wine at the end.

    Massimo hosted an amazing cooking class! This was our favourite day of our trip and the best meal we had. I am gluten free and he was able to accommodate and make me modifications that were delicious. He did an amazing job explaining and giving practical tools to use in everyday cooking. Would 100% do this class again and recommend to everyone I know 🙂

    I had a wonderful experience learning all about local and regional Sicilian food and various cooking techniques. Chef Massimo is a wonderful teacher, great personality and extremely organized. We went to a local market, we learned how to make pasta dough and shape noodles with our hands (no machines) for Pasta Norma, caponata, beef wrapped in lemon leaves, fresh fish course, as well as battered, stuffed and fried zucchini flowers! His home has gorgeous views of the Mediterranean, is clean and very well organized for classes. A veritable feast was enjoyed with 12 new friends from all over the world, along with delicious homemade Etna Bianca and Nero D’Avolo red wines……Highly recommend! Thanks Chef Massimo…..if I could give you 10 stars I would!

    Chef Mossimo’s cooking class exceeded our expectations. Chef Mossimo explained the local produce and how to pick out the fresh meats and fish. The venue was perfect, overlooking the coast. The meal was excellent and the local wine was good too.

    The food was phenomenal! Best meal we’ve had in Sicily! Massimo was so personable and full of useful info, even to experienced cooks. A lovely setting with views of the sea. You should not miss this experience! We had several courses and were actively involved in the preparation. And we made some new friends! Highly recommend!!

    The class with chef Massimo was excellent! We had a group of 8 and we each thought the experience and the food was great! Starting off at the local market, Chef Massimo did a fantastic job teaching us about the local meats, fishes, and produce. Then we had a beautiful walk to his kitchen where we prepared the meal. Not only did we learn at the market but got great tips on how to prepare all the food. The food and set up to eat was awesome. Fresh and so flavorful. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting a local, delicious experience!

    This was a highlight of our trip. We were so fortunate to have a smaller class. Massimo was greatly knowledgeable and fun. I learned some awesome tips on cooking Italian food, specifically Sicilian food. I highly recommend chef Massimo’s cooking class to take your Italian trip to the next level

  18. Clancy_O

    This was the best activity we did in Italy! A fantastic cooking class, Massimo is knowledgeable and takes time to go to the markets, buy fresh produce and provide practical tips for choosing and cooking the best food! A very fun morning / afternoon capped off with eating all the delicious food we made. Thank you Massimo!

  19. Michael_M

    This was a fun experience. Learning the cooking techniques. The meal was fantastic. I have never eaten freshly made pasta.

    The cooking class with Chef Massimo was a great way to learn about traditional Sicilian food and get a reprieve from the busy summer crowds. We started at the Porta Messina with a short walk to the local market tucked away from all the bustle. Chef began explaining how to select the best seasonal local produce, meats, cheeses and fish.
    Heading out of the market to the kitchen located in a picturesque villa overlooking the sea we began making our meal. The lively Chief Massimo started us off making fresh pasta and prepping vegetables. All the food was delicious and we enjoyed our feast on the terrace accompanied by local wines. Was an excellent experience running about 5 hrs from start to finish.

    What a fun day! Massimo was friendly, professional and entertaining. He emphasised the importance of selecting fresh produce. We made caponata, mussels and handmade macceroni pasta with a normal sauce. We stuffed zucchini flowers finished in a perfect batter. Our mains were Sea Bass and rissoles cooked in lemon leaf. A day of Sicilian cooking with passion! All dishes were traditional and amazing. A bonus was the stunning view from an amazing setting.
