We started in the market looking at local produce then travelled to the restaurant to start cooking. We made pasta experimenting with different shapes. We then made the caponata a local antipasto dish with aubergine and more! An enjoyable experience with a lively group of people from all around the world. We then enjoyed a meal from our efforts! We are now ready to put our experience into practice at home!

Great experience! Very happy and friendly family, good quality ingredients. Easy to learn and make the meals and we made multiple dishes. Our group was mainly vegetarian so we decide to make their meal and I’m so glad we did! It was SO good! Best food so far in Sicily and great experience! Recommend this to everyone!

The best cooking experience! Chef and his mother were enthusiastic and passionate about sharing their cooking style. Enjoyed learning a few basic skills in preparing Italian dishes. Delicious 😋 The restaurant location was perfect, view of the Mediterranean.

Incredible experience in Taormina! Thanks to Chef Mimmo we spent a beautiful day among the flavors and aromas of a unique land. Facing the sea, just a few steps away, we made pasta by hand, then cooked the fish and with a good bottle of wine we enjoyed the sea and the food we cooked. To remember for life!

A lively and very informative cooking lesson with Chef Mimmo!! Our group of 6 was very "hands on" with guidance from the Chef. It was a very enjoyable few hours with a delicious lunch as our finished product. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

For any home cook or aspiring chef there is no better experience than spending an afternoon with Chef Mimmo. First and foremost, Chef is just a really fun person to be around. He has created a farm to table experience that is quintessential Sicilian - just like his name.The day begins with a trip to the market in search of the ingredients for the day. Then off to his restaurant to learn, prep, cook at eat the meal all in the heartwarming company of chef’s family and kitchen staff. There is even a little vino along the way. We made caponata, swordfish rolls, five different shapes of pasta, and homemade sauce. Despite flying solo we had a great group which I truly enjoyed. I highly recommend the “experience.”.

Very nice and experienced person, definitly worth it. It was a small group and we were welcomed from the beginning. Mimmo told us a lot about the vegetables from the market, and the details about how they are different in this region, because of the special soil. The cooking part was fun and informative. I never knew how simpel it could be with the right guidance. Everything was delicous. We had a beautiful day thanks to Mimmo and his lovely family.

We could not recommend this experience more! It was literally the highlight of our trip to Taormina. Chef Mimmo is a gentleman, kind, a great dad and leader! His patience and kindness was beyond expectations. We investigated several options and are so happy that we made this one a permanent memory! Honestly, this was a great value. Please tip! He and his family are just real and genuine!
