We made an excellent choise with this experience! The sympathy of Mimmo and his passion involved us a lot. Excellent location in the city centre, in front of a beautiful and peaceful garden. An oasis where learning to cook Sicilian was amazing!

What a fun experience! Amazing moments with Mimmo who showed us the Sicilian cuisine with dedication and passion. The most funny moment was when we made maccaroni by hand. The fish we bought at the market with the Chef was very good. Highly recommended!
