Have fun cooking.
I had never baked Sicilian cakes and now I want to make them at home! Antonio is good, patient and super engaging. Beautiful experience.

A sweet experience! Making cannoli from scratch was much easier (and more fun) than I thought. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, perfect even for beginners.

Super funny
Antonio is super nice and makes you feel immediately at home. We made cannoli, chatted and laughed a lot. Top!

Save your money. Not great.
The meeting place was hard to find. It was the guides apartment. It was up 4 flights of stairs. We didn't make what was advertised. The pastries we made were very simple. Not great tasting. The guide struggled with the cannoli shell process. So don't really know the proper way to make them...and after all that, we made the pastries, paid to make them and we didn't even get what we made?? He kept them?
