Porta Messina Restaurant

Paolo was extraordinary, as were the entire cooking staff. The class was amazing. I cannot believe how much food we cooked and it was delicious and fun to do from start to finish. The class was 10 people, a perfect size. Lots of attention and laughs. And the food, we baked a whole Sea Bass in salt, made five or six pastas, eggplant parmigiana, sardine croquettes, Swordfish cutlets, all truly delicious and it made us all look like real chefs. I plan to replicate this meal for Christmas back home. Thank you Chef Paolo and team.

We went to the Sicilian cooking class and we had a great time. First we went at the market and got a lot of explanations about the local food. Then we came back to the restaurant and started cooking. They explained us how to cook different styles of pasta and how to prepare two different types of fish. The cooks have been really nice and the food was amazing. We really enjoyed it and can only recommend it! :)

Our Pizza making class in Taormina was amazing! My husband, 8 years old, and I did the class and had the best time. We were very excited to find out we got to learn how to make pasta as well. We were well-fed! The bonus (that my child loved) was that we got to keep our aprons and received a certificate at the end. My partner and I were excited to receive copies of the recipes in our email so we can continue to make delicious pasta and pizza at home. Maurizio was very knowledgeable and so great with my little one. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff and experience.

It is a definitely I'd recommend

It was a four person class and the chef was totally on board with answering all our questions and giving us tips. Fantastic.
