Excellent experience for all ages! Maria is an exceptional Chef and Lorenzo brings it all together with his translation skills and his ability to make everyone feel like family. We learnt so much about authentic Sicilian cooking. The meatballs were to die for! And they even accommodated my daughter’s food allergies. Truly wonderful experience, Highly recommend!

Wonderful, but difficult to locate.

Great host ! Great food! It was very challenging finding and getting to location from our cruise ship. Suggest nailing down local transportation prior to leaving ship.

Fun cooking class

Our cooking class with Mamma Corleone and Riham was incredible. They made sure we learned special Sicilian cooking techniques and we all marveled at the delicious food we created and got to eat. A 5 star time in Palermo!

One of the highlights of our Sicily trip. Mamma Corleone and Ryham were so welcoming and provided a really positive energy. We also got some tips on where else to visit. Would recommend to anyone in Palermo.

We had a great time learning to make pasta, meatballs and dessert! Maria and Lorenzo were great company and helped 2 terrible chefs produce something delicious! Would 100% recommend

Great start to our trip to Sicily

joanne_l, Feb 2023

We had a great time. Lots of laughs. Learned to make homemade pasta and had a delicious lunch. Exactly what we were hoping for when we booked the class. Theresa and her interpreter Riham made us feel like family.. So glad we did this.

Memorable. Tasty. Educational. Cultural. A great class and experience!

I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this cooking class. It was a great way to spend quality time learning how to do something now - create a tasty, authentic recipe. Maria and Karim were so polite, friendly and fun. It was 3.5 hours of cooking and it was so enjoyable it felt like it was only a half hour. This class was the highlight if my trip! Devo dire che sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso da questo corso di cucina. È stato un ottimo modo per trascorrere del tempo prezioso imparando a fare qualcosa adesso: creare una ricetta gustosa e autentica. Maria e Karim erano così educati, amichevoli e divertenti. Sono state 3,5 ore di cottura ed è stato così piacevole che sembrava che fosse solo mezz'ora. Questa lezione è stata il momento clou del mio viaggio!
