Amazing and fun experience. Very professional, friendly and generous host we enjoyed the experience of making ( and eating) cannolis with Maurozzio! We chatted about Sicily, families and cooking we were given coffee and wine as part of our lesson and managed to produce some delicious cannoli, which I will definitely make again in the uk . Thanks to all the friendly staff for a great time!

Fun class with enthusiastic instructors

Bruce_D, Sep 2023

Fun class with lots of good tips. Instructor was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Made a lot of Cannoli - more than we could eat. Be careful to only seal shell with egg white on edge or cannoli will stick to tube.

Would highly recommend

Marcelo provided a very fun and delicious class. We absolutely loved it and was a highlight when we visited Taormina

Coffee & Cannoli

Linda_M, Sep 2023

What a fun and informative way to spend a morning. It’s instructive, yummy and hosted by a lovely chef. Nice touch the water and coffee too. Definitely recommend it.

A must do

Mel_S, Sep 2023

Great fun, Maurizio was really interactive and made the class fun. Tasting and getting to take home the cannoli you make was an added bonus!!

Would highly recommend!

Rebecca_V, Aug 2023

Would highly recommend this cooking class! Maurizio and the team were lovely and explained each step very well. It was really fun doing the course with different people on holiday from around the world. After the class we got to eat the cannolis and overall it was a lovely experience.

Highly recommend for everyone!

Maya_L, Aug 2023

We had a great time making cannolis! This class is at an actual restaurant and it's wicked cute. We got there early and hung out for a bit. It looks like a great lunch spot. The class itself was very fun. The instructor is great, very knowledgable and friendly. He is the pastry chef at the restaurant and he said he uses all our scraps for the restaurant's cannolis which is cool. He was very informative, the pacing was good and he sent us the recipes when the class was over. We made the regular ricotta filling and a custard filling. We also met lovely people and chatted after the cooking while enjoying our freshly made cannolis. This is a great experience, very fun for people of all ages.

Do It!

Awesome cannoli cooking class

DJ_H, Jun 2023

Our instructor was very patient & fun to work with. My wife & I took this with our 17 yr old son & e all had a great time. The best part was getting to eat the cannolis when we finished.

Favourite activity in Sicily....Cannoli Class

Cat_P, Mar 2023

Loved everything about this class. Maurizio was a very friendly and informative instructor. His English was amazing. The restaurant and the staff are notch. They allowed my husband to take pictures even though he wasn't participating in the class. This was my favourite activity of my 25 day trip to Sicily! I'm interested in taking a cooking class my next visit to Sicily. ❤️

It was such a wonderful time learning how to make Canolis

Liz_S, Oct 2022

Maurizo was my teacher in learning how to make Canolis…he was very knowledgeable and friendly I would definitely recommend this cooking class!

So much fun!

James_D, Aug 2022

This was so much fun! For our class, there was only us and one other couple which meant we had a very attentive session! We each made our own cannoli dough and 2 of the group made each filling. We were provided with lots of red wine throughout and got to sit and enjoy the cannolis we made at the end. We were emailed the recipe at the end and I can’t wait to have a go at making them at home! We were also given a certificate at the end which provided lots of hilarity!

Excellent class!

Cristina_D, Aug 2022

Fun cannoli making class in the heart of Taormina! The instructors were knowledgeable and so friendly! Definitely would recommend!

Awesome culinary class experience in Taormina

Rebekka_S, Aug 2022

This was a great experience. The group was small - only 5 of us which meant we got quality time with the chef who showed us how to make his cannoli (which he learnt from his mother and grandmother at 10 years old!). So many great tips included and lots of hands-on experience. We got to eat our cannoli in the restaurant's garden bistro after the class which was a really nice way to finish the session. Highly recommend this experience for those wanting a culinary class in Taormina.

Leave the gun take the Cannolis !!

How organized the process was. It truly was a hands on class and the results were amazing! The owner of the restaurant explained everything clearly and his helpers were efficient in assistant.

Loved it.

Robert_M, Apr 2022

Cannoli class with Giovanni was educational & fun. All the staff at Porta Messina were fantastic. If I'd had known what good chefs and teachers they were, I'd have signed up for more.
