The best family memories!

Jessica_K, Jul 2026

This was one of the most incredible experiences of our family Italy trip! Not only was the food was incredible (and I will absolutely be making it at home on repeat), but Andrea and his beautiful family were kind, gracious, funny and welcoming to each member of my family. He made a special point to help my youngest (who is 12 and not confident with a knife)! All the kids participated (16, 14 and 12)! When we left they went on and on about how fun it was and that they wanted to do a cooking class as a family again! As a mom, this was a huge win and my heart was filled with joy knowing this moment will live on in each of our memories forever! And every time (I try) to recreate this delicious meal I will think of Andrea, his beautiful and gracious wife and talented son and how they made our trip that much more special! Thank you! If you are on the fence about taking this class, don't be! Book it now! You won't be disappointed!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your wonderful family. I am so glad to hear that all the kids, especially your youngest, enjoyed the experience and felt confident in the kitchen — that is exactly what our family-run classes are all about! My wife, my son, and I are deeply touched by your kind words. Knowing that this experience will remain a cherished memory of your Italian trip fills our hearts with joy. Please do recreate those dishes at home, and don't worry if it takes a few tries the secret ingredient is always the love you put into it! ❤️ You are always welcome back to our home in Palermo. Warmest regards,🫂 Chef Andrea Matranga & Family

Fabulous cooking class in Palermo!

We had a fabulous time learning to cook Sicilian Italian food with Andrea, his wife and son at their beautiful home in Palermo. We got our hands, dirty cooking and laughed and drank good wine with good company. I highly recommend this cooking class.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you very much for this nice review. We are happy that you had a good time with us. It was very nice to have you in our home. We look forward to seeing you soon ❤️

Unforgettable Evening - Honeymoon Highlight - Sicilian Cooking Class

Zophia_B, Mar 2026

Andrea and his family were truly exceptional. My husband and I booked a cooking class with him while we were in Palermo for our honeymoon, and even though it was already a week and a half into our trip, it was the first moment we genuinely felt like we were celebrating. When we mentioned we were newlyweds, Andrea went out of his way to make the experience feel incredibly special. From the moment we stepped into his home, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness that we instantly felt at ease. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so comfortable so quickly in someone else’s home. Andrea was patient, encouraging, and wonderfully clear as he taught us each technique, and the dishes we made were absolutely delicious. After the class, he even sent us a link to his YouTube videos so we could revisit everything we learned—something we’re already excited to use once we’re back home. My husband and I can’t recommend this cooking class highly enough. It truly set a new standard for all future classes, that I doubt will ever be able to be met again. If you have the chance to learn from Andrea, take it. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure to meet you and share this experience together, especially during such a special moment in your lives like your honeymoon. When you told me you were newlyweds, I simply wanted to make the evening a little more special. Knowing that you felt so comfortable in our home and experienced the warmth of my family makes me very happy. I’m also really glad you enjoyed the cooking and that you’ll bring these recipes and techniques back home with you. And if you ever return to Sicily, you will always be welcome in our home. Warm regards Andrea

Fantastic evening of cooking, food, wine and friends!

David_K, Jan 2026

What can I say... the entire experience was fantastic! We were warmly welcomed into their home and Andrea graciously worked through traditional Sicilian dishes as we created an incredible 4 course feast. We sat down as a family to enjoy the fruits of our labor and the conversation and laughter flowed. We left feeling like we connected with long lost friends. I highly recommend this incredible cooking class and evening!
