Fun time cooking!

Paolo and Sebby were excellent teachers and it was a lot of fun! They were so amazing at adapting to my food intolerances which was appreciated. I did notify them the day before to make sure they were aware. This class had children, adults and seniors and everyone had fun. They bring you lots of extra treats and wine, so you will not leave hungry or thirsty! It’s a fun and delicious way to spend 1 1/2-2 hours!

Dear al_from_Reading, Thank you so much for your detailed review. We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the Arancina Cooking Class and that the group setup still felt fun and well organised. It’s lovely that you also had the chance to meet other guests while learning how to make your own arancini. Nine between the two of you is definitely a solid effort! We’re especially happy to hear that you enjoyed the snacks, wine and, of course, the final result. Arancini are delicious, but they can certainly be more filling than expected! Kind regards, SicilyExcursions Team
