Funtastic experience in making and eating best selfmade pizza and cannoli. Chef Mimmo rocks and shares a lot of details while instructions to everyone in our group

The whole experience was fabulous from start to finish. Mimmo, his mother and brother in law were all welcoming and taught us all how to make delicious pasta dishes I’ll replicate at home. Everything was delicious, including the white table wine I drank like water. I have a tree-nut allergy, and Mimmo kindly made a separate nut free pesto, which was beyond appreciated and delicious. Mimmo’s mother was a very welcome addition and came over to all of us to correct our pasta making. I would recommend this activity to anyone staying in the area. I left with wonderful memories and a full belly!

Everything about this excursion was fabulous. A beautiful day was had by all of us!.we had a party of 4. Chef Mimo & Mama could not have been kinder!! We learned about all the delicious ingredients with our trip to the market. We learned about the ingredients and what each one did for the meal we were about to prepare! So informative, so fun -the “work” is done in the beautiful restaurant overlooking the sea. A wonderful and memorable event not to be missed!!

We attended this cooking class with Mimmo in July. There was a big group of people wanting to learn how to cook that day and we got to sit with another beautiful couple. We had so much fun socializing and talking with the couple and to be honest, this was the highlight. Chef Mimmo has a very friendly and warm vibe and so does his mother but to be honest, we never cooked in the entire day. We learnt how to roll pasta, yes. But other than that we only prepared the food. Chopping and putting into bowls. Then the food was taken to the back to be cooked. I think we had imagined a station were we could have actually cooked the food and learnt about the heat and the seasoning. Now everytime the food was going to be cooked we were seated in the restaurant with a bottle of wine and snacks while we waited for them to cook; not exactly what what you imagine when you pay for a cooking class. Also this meant that the pasta we made didn’t end up on our table in the end since it was sent into one big pot with everyone elses! This meant we didn’t get a chance to taste how our pasta techniques had worked. The couple definitely made our day and without them and the socialization we definitely would have felt a bit disappointed..

The entire cooking class was perfection. We loved this experience so much, from the market at the start of the class, to learning about local produce/meals, to cooking everything and then enjoying the meal. It was amazing value and would highly recommend.

My daughter and I had a pizza and canolli cooking class with Mimmo and his mom helped too. We had a lot of fun too, even met other people from Denmark. The location of the class is at Mimma’s family restaurant on the Sea, so we had a great view too. There was plenty of water, we had fresh appetizers waiting for us at the table while we cooked. We had wine with our dinner which was the pizza we made, and cannoli’s for dessert with the toppings of our choice. The meeting point was conveniently located at the piazza and we were picked up and returned in an air-conditioned luxury taxi. When dinner was finished, we had a few extra minutes to walk along the Sea until the taxi arrived. We had a great time, in total from pick up to finish, was 3 hours. I will definitely recommend Mimmo’s class.

Treated like a VIP, chef was very welcoming and informative, all staff very friendly and attentive. We all ( me, husband and daughters aged 9 and 12) enjoyed making our pizzas and canolli, and the outcone was superb! Point of note the location of the class is actually in Naxos, not Taormina.... so if you're already in Naxos and dont want or need to go to Taomina, contact the chef ( we chatted on WhatsApp very easily) and arrange a more convenient location to meet or be collected from and taken to.... also don't eat all your pizza..... the canolli goes soggy after just 12 hours and they are sooo good you'll want to eat them fresh....honestly, it will be the best pizza and canolli you've ever tasted!! And you'll have made them!!

Great experience! We had a great time learning about how to make pizzas and cannolis with chef Mimmo and his mom. Hands on was great where we made cannolis from scratch as well as pizzas. We had a small group of 7 of us which was perfect to cook and meet new friends! Highly recommend!!!

The only place in the world to learn to make the perfect pizza! Staff here where great really shared their knowledge true Italian feel. The pick up from the town was great and the wine was outstanding and that’s comming from non wine drinkers. Great experience and would recommend to anyone who fancies a night out with a activity

Highly recommend. We had a really fun day with Chef Mimmo and other guests learning to make pasta and other dishes which we then enjoyed eating. We started at the market in Taormina and then we were transported by private taxi to the family restaurant by the beach where the class began. Chef Mimmo is a great character as is his wonderful Mum who helped with our food preparation. We are looking forward to making the dishes when we get home.

HIGHLY recommend this class. Lovely family, fun class, and food was excellent! I'm going to be trying to make some of these dishes at home.

Lovely view and restaurant. Great pasta making and cooking. Lots to eat and drink with lovely people. Good fun! Mummy is a great chef and teacher.

Loved creating our very own pizza & canoli from scratch (with all the trimmings) while sharing stories with lovely people in our small group! Drinking wine & eating our freshly made dinner overlooking Naxos Bay was a total score!

The entire day from start to finish was fantastic. Chef Mimmo met us, and brought us to the market to purchase our ingredients, before a very comfortable (and quick) journey to his amazing family restaurant, open since the 1980s! We met his entire family and a special shoutout to his mother who helped me making my pasta! The dishes were a joy to make and really made us understand how some of the best food is made with some simple, fresh ingredients. Learning about where these traditional dishes come from and how they are put together was amazing. Overall, this cooking class was a great learning experience, with a small interactive group that made the entire day such a joy, we even had a chance to have lunch and wine together during the day! We cannot recommend this enough to any couple, family or individual who want to do something special during their trip! Thank You Very Much Mimmo! Andrew & Seafra

We had a great time with Mimmo and his team. We made multiple types of pasta with sauces, vegetable caponata, and an amazing rolled swordfish that somehow was the start of the show. It was a little difficult to find the restaurant among the several right next to each other at the similar address. They could do a better job at directing people where to go. Also a van shuttle was provided back to Taormina town center which was greatly appreciated and not expected. Overall amazing food -- better than some of the restaurants we tried locally -- and well worth the money. Can't beat the sea views either! Come HUNGRY. Plenty of food and wine to go around. Thankful for Mimmo and his team for welcoming us into their restaurant.
