Fabulous Sicilian intimate cooking experience!

krista_m, Sep 2025

From the moment we met Fulvio who greeted us outside of his apartment ( because he could see us looking for his entrance;) he was friendly, relaxed and welcoming. Loved going to the nearby market to see all the fresh produce and goods and picking up some of our fresh ingredients. Easy walk back to his apartment where he welcomed us into his tasteful apartment with amazing views and warm atmosphere. The entire afternoon was lovely with our choice of music and active participation in preparing a 4 course meal with dessert, including spritz’s and wine (generously poured)! Food was delicious and catered to our liking even for our non seafood eater. Would highly recommend. Feel we have made a friend in Sicily and can’t wait to see Fulvio in our future visits!! Highly recommend. A highlight of our visit to Palermo for sure!!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your cooking experience in Palermo, Sicily with Fulvio was such a memorable highlight of your trip. It’s great to know you enjoyed the market visit, the hands-on preparation of a 4-course Sicilian meal, and the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere in Fulvio’s home with its beautiful views.

Wonderful family experience

Our family of 14 people enjoyed this experience with Fulvio and his team at the start of our 10 day European vacation. It was one of the more memorable and enjoyable parts of our trip. We were able to spend time together while cooking, drinking wine, and eating at a very authentic Palermo location. Fulvio and his team were wonderful. Highly recommend.

This was an Absolutely Amazing Authentic Experience. Our host made us feel right at home from the very beginning. We walked a few blocks got some great Italian bread and went back and learned how to make Eggplant Parmesan, real Italian red sauce, pasta, sea bass and tiramisu. I would highly recommend booking this cooking class.

Great food and better company

Toni_W, Apr 2023

This was such a great experience! It was a joy to cook with the Fulvio and the sous chef, you could tell that they really enjoy what they do and they were super fun! They played great music and really made sure we enjoyed ourselves. It was us and another couple and they welcomed us both. Would definitely recommend you arrive with an empty stomach, we ate so much great food!
