An absolute ‘must do’ when in Taormina We did the cooking course with Massimo and I can now completely appreciate all the 5 star reviews. It was the most incredible experience! Massimo is just the nicest guy you could ever meet, so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and lovely to chat to. The whole day ran like clockwork, we were involved in every part of the cooking process and were educated on the cooking methods with hints and tips I know I will remember forever. Once we had cooked we enjoyed the most beautiful meal, in a beautiful setting feeling like special guests in Massimo’s home. I couldn’t fault a single part of the day, it was a truly special experience and I am so happy we booked! If you are reading this review don’t even hesitate, book now, you’ll be absolutely delighted you did!

A must do in Taormina The cooking class in Taormina with Chef Massimo was a highlight of our stay in Sicily. Massimo is passionate about local food and produce and I learned so much from our trip to the market. Massimo was very accommodating with food preferences and gave us great tips on selecting the freshest options. We then went to his kitchen to cook- a gorgeous place with a great view. We had great fun in the kitchen, learned so much and the food tasted AMAZING! We finished off with a feast of the food we had helped cook-so much food and wine! Massimo is a great teacher and host and we had a ball. Grazie mille Massimo!!

Excellent Cooking Class Chef Massimo is very passionate about his craft and he’s an excellent teacher. We met at the local market and learned about the ingredients we would be using. From there, we took a short walk to the most amazing location on a hillside in Taromina with a priceless view. The chef shared stories, techniques and walked us through the steps as we made the most delicious caponata, stuffed zucchini blossoms, fresh pasta, braised bronzino and more dishes. For the grand finale, we sat down and shared the meal our group of 12 had prepared in a lovely outdoor patio with fabulous local wine. I highly recommend this experience - it was the best one in our weeklong stay in Taromina.

Wonderful experience. If you can book, do it! DO THIS! We had a massive group of 12 and Massimo worked with us to fit everyone in the group and we had an absolute blast. His kitchen and home are stunning and adorable. Learning about the foods and how to know what/when to buy fish and meats at the market was incredible beneficial. He is kind, punctual, charismatic and an incredible chef. There was SO MUCH food and everyone had such a great time. It was a much needed break from the classic cruise tours we had been doing; literally, the perfect day.

One of our best meals in Taormina I am so glad that my wife wanted to do this cooking experience with Chef Massimo, it was one of our best memories of our trip.His passion about food and wanting to pass on his knowledge to all 12 people in the group was fantastic. From learning to make traditional Sicilian caponata, fresh macaroni pasta , mussels and stuffed zucchini flowers. The location of his cooking class overlooks Isola Bella, and is a beautiful setting to cook and have a wonderful lunch with fellow travellers from around the world. A fantastic experience and a must do if travelling to Taormina. One of our best meals in Taormina. Domenico and Angela from Australia.

Fantastico!!! This was one of the highlights of our time in Sicily. The class was fun and informative. Massimo does a great job including everyone and really helps one understand what is the most important about a successful dish: time-honored, simple techniques that use the freshest locally-sourced ingredients. The setting is splendid and we ended up having the best meal of our entire time on the island. Take this class -- you'll love it!!

Highly Recommended Had a wonderful day with Chef Massimo. Started with a tour around a local market then back to Massimos home to start cooking up a feast. Massimo is really passionate about his craft and passed on lots of information about ingredients and cooking, plus little tricks and tips. Didn't realise we were going to be cooking so much food! This class is really good value for money. We met some wonderful people from around the world, sharing stories and laughs around the table. I would definitely recommend this class.

Great Experience with Chef Massimo We absolutely loved our time with Chef Massimo! He was gregarious, shared great info about how to purchase the most fresh food, and he helped us prepare an amazing meal. The cooking portion of our time together was the most fun, and we learned a lot. I would highly recommend this experience.
