Mimmo’s cooking class - My daughter and I had a pizza and canolli cooking class with Mimmo and his mom helped too. We had a lot of fun too, even met other people from Denmark. The location of the class is at Mimma’s family restaurant on the Sea, so we had a great view too. There was plenty of water, we had fresh appetizers waiting for us at the table while we cooked. We had wine with our dinner which was the pizza we made, and cannoli’s for dessert with the toppings of our choice. The meeting point was conveniently located at the piazza and we were picked up and returned in an air-conditioned luxury taxi. When dinner was finished, we had a few extra minutes to walk along the Sea until the taxi arrived. We had a great time, in total from pick up to finish, was 3 hours. I will definitely recommend Mimmo’s class.

Fantastic experience 👏 - Treated like a VIP, chef was very welcoming and informative, all staff very friendly and attentive. We all ( me, husband and daughters aged 9 and 12) enjoyed making our pizzas and canolli, and the outcone was superb! Point of note the location of the class is actually in Naxos, not Taormina.... so if you're already in Naxos and dont want or need to go to Taomina, contact the chef ( we chatted on WhatsApp very easily) and arrange a more convenient location to meet or be collected from and taken to.... also don't eat all your pizza..... the canolli goes soggy after just 12 hours and they are sooo good you'll want to eat them fresh....honestly, it will be the best pizza and canolli you've ever tasted!! And you'll have made them!!

Great pizza and cannoli making experience! - Great experience! We had a great time learning about how to make pizzas and cannolis with chef Mimmo and his mom. Hands on was great where we made cannolis from scratch as well as pizzas. We had a small group of 7 of us which was perfect to cook and meet new friends! Highly recommend!!!

Outstanding and personal cooking class - The class was made up of less than 12 participants. It was really a hands-on experience. The restaurant is family owned and they make you feel like part of the family. We had a fantastic time and really learned how to make really good pizza and delicious cannolis. We highly recommend this class!

Yummmmmmy - This was really fun! Chef Mimmo spent the whole time with us teaching us about making the different types of dough. His staff was ready and prepared to assist. Meeting point was easy. The only downside was waiting for the taxi to bring us back to meeting point after we ate- we were stuffed and sleepy! :) Cannoli’s and Pizza were delicious. A great experience if you visit Taormina/Naxos

Super night out w my husband & 22 yr old son! Chef Mimmo kept the evening fun & lively while he & Mama Francesca guided us to pe - Loved creating our very own pizza & canoli from scratch (with all the trimmings) while sharing stories with lovely people in our small group! Drinking wine & eating our freshly made dinner overlooking Naxos Bay was a total score!
