Thanks to Tino and his lovely family for a pleasant afternoon. We enjoyed the cooking experience and the company, and learned more about life in Italy and new cooking techniques. We have felt really welcome and appreciate spending quality time in their family home. Without a doubt we would recommend this experience! The food we made was delicious - especially the pasta and Cannoli

Chef Tino provided our group of four with a personalized, friendly and casual class. We were picked up at our hotel and warmly welcomed into his family home. We made authentic Italian bruschetta, pesto, marinara, pasta and various cannoli creams from fresh ingredients, paired with wine tastings. We then sat down to a "family" meal with Tino and his parents. Learned some new techniques and had delicious foods and wines. Had a great experience!

My mom and I took this class on our last day in Sicily and we could not have asked for a better experience. Not enough people signed up, so it wound being a private class, which was lovely. The location is absolutely stunning, our host was knowledge and made us feel like family, and of course the food was delicious.
