Meet up with the chef Mimmo at the "Ahoy Bistrò Siciliano" in Giardini Naxos facing the sea and the Bay of Naxos and Taormina. Coffee Break and wine tasting with various appetizers such as focaccia, cold cuts and local Sicilian cheeses. After wearing the apron, preparation of 3 traditional Sicilian dishes: an appetizer, a fish dish and different types of fresh pasta made by customers with their own hands.
Discover Sicily in its unique flavors, from Pachino cherry tomatoes to the Bronte pistachio located at the base of Etna volcano. Delight in the scent of aubergines while you prepare a plate of pasta alla norma, and discover the flavors of our sea through fresh fish taken at the market, and flavored with spices such as capers from the Aeolian Islands and olives born from the fertile volcanic land. And then everyone at the table for the typical lunch on festive days a few meters from the beach and the sea. Finally, delivery of diplomas and autographed apron as a souvenir of a special day.
Sample Menu
• Caponata Siciliana - Typical product of Sicilian cuisine with aubergines seasoned with tomato sauce, celery, onion, olives and capers, in a sweet and sour sauce.
• Fresh pasta made with your hands - Preparation of different types of fresh pasta handmade by the customers, under the supervision of the Chef, and served with fresh tomato sauce.
• "Greedy" fish - Second course of fish found fresh with customers at the local market, cooked in tomato sauce, capers and olives, to absorb all the aromas and flavors

One of the best parts of our vacation in Sicily. Chef Mimmo was wonderful and we were inspired to make our own pasta at home. Highly recommended. If you are staying in Tauramina leave extra time after the class to walk around Naxes. It’s beautiful

AMAZING!!!! We took a 2 week honeymoon all around Italy and this.. this is our favorite activity we did. So cool learning and the atmosphere is breathtaking. One of our favorite meals of our whole honeymoon... and cool to say we cooked it. 10/10 recommend.

The cooking class was great fun. Chef Mimmo's mother helped us out when our pasta making skills were a little clumsy. The food turned out to be delicious.
Our only criticisms were that we were sent an email confirmation with an incorrect starting time, and we were never offered an autographed apron.

Such a great experience. So much fun and delicious food. Mimmo was the perfect host and teacher. We’ve even cooked it all again a week after we got home!

Mimmo's class was excellent! Learned how to make four pastas, caponata, notmal sauce, and swordfish filet roll. Mimmo, his family, and a great group of students made this class fun and funny!
Highly recommend.

Was very well organised. Food was great. We enjoyed the activity and will surely plan another one. Starting with the market, doing the pasta from scratch and sauces. The capunata was also amazing.

We spent 5 days in Sicily and this was our favorite afternoon. Chef Mimmo and family were so welcoming and kind. The location is divine, and the food is even better. We learned how to make a pasta and fish dinner complete with sides and best of all, our teens absolutely loved it and didn't look at their phones once!
